Peaks and Pints has unveiled the official bracket for its Tournament of Beer: Northwest Porters, a voter-based public tournament seeking to crown the best porter from the Pacific Northwest. Patterned after the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament, the Tournament of Beer features 64 porters from Washington, Oregon and Idaho, all seeded by public vote, and separated into four geographical regions: Seattle/King County, Washington state, Oregon and Idaho with no more than the top two porters per brewery. A couple breweries had two of their porters voted into the Tournament of Beer.

These top 64 vote getters — the cream of the malts — will compete Monday through Friday at tournamentofbeer.com, April 6-28. Through online voting, Northwest porter drinkers will pick daily winners until the best porter in the region is crowned. It’s just like March Madness, only with way more Crystal malts.
