Stone IPA
Kinda wishin' this was a pan-alcoholic thing, 8-10 spots out of 64 reserved for beer styles.

you think? We can totally do that, too. Might be more interesting. Would certainly include more people.
Can we get a mod to change the title to represent this?

NOT FUCKING Carling, or Boddington's, or any English lager ever
Thought this could be an all-beverage fight. Maybe do a separate one for juices then pit the two winners together?

Yes, but FIVE of them are ME, so it bears inclusion.

My liver and Marxist science tell me not to mix the alcohols and the non-alcohols.
10 beers, 15 wines, 20 base liquors, then liqueurs, cordials, bitters, etc
Just throwin' ideas out there.
lots of xposts, you guys have moved past my thinking already
lambic in the beers for sure!

I think so, too. I mean, we had hard cheese and pizza in the last one, right?
― Official Cheese-Filled Snack of NASCAR since 2002 (B.L.A.M.), Friday, 6 August 2010 23:50 (thirteen years ago) link
key hard alcohols + key cocktails
Specific drink recipes? I dunno, seems like they'd be overpowered in Rd 1.
Like I say, I'm tossing ideas like end-of-pub-crawl cookies, I bow to whatever the final decisions are without complaint.

Keep it real: Moonshine
surely the final 64 needs to come from a league (poll) from each group?
BeersCocktailsWineSpirits
and the allocation of the 64 will be based on the coefficient for each group? (based on total votes in each category's poll)
― HOOS' THE BOSS (ken c), Saturday, 7 August 2010 13:36 (thirteen years ago) link
that would be 16/16/16/16 right? I don't think there are enough 'types of beer'/'types of spirits' that would be universally familiar. might work with individual beers or spirits.

would the "spirits" bracket include liqueurs?

i think this is just too much. an all encompassing booze poll, i mean...
the food poll was a mishmash of ingredients, specific foods, and whole dish-styles. i guess that kind of works for booze too, in some ways, since, say 'drambuie' and 'chartreuse' are brands as well as the only thing of its kind.
but man, i dunno.

Alright, I'm going to work this thing up.
Its going to be an all-alcoholic bevs poll, out of the interest of seeing a good bit of trans-category conflict.
I'm going to keep jaymc's 16 beers.
