(14) Otter Creek Copper Ale
Nothing says March Madness like a battle royal between a German style Marzen and German style Altbier. Both beers come in pretty tame at under 6% ABV so I expect a low scoring affair. While their pedigrees are impressive I expect their German pedigree to reign supreme – obsessive deference to the rules, socks & sandals, and of course arrogance. Normally you could cite arrogance as a potential downfall for a top seed, but what happens when the underdog is just as arrogant? The Marzen wins, but we all lose.
