The Effervescent Eight: Second round of the Spring Beer Tournament

The first round of the tournament is over. There's been a few upsets, and some very deserving beers got booted out of the tourney. Of the losers, Magic Hat's Vinyl and Smuttynose Hanami Ale stick out as being really good beers that you might want to try. They just had bad match-ups. Anyway let's look at the second round matches.

#1 Noble Pils VS #6 Garde Dog

#2 Anchor Bock VS #5 Rising Moon

#1 Aprihop VS #3 Spring Buck

#2 Glissade VS #5 S.A. Red

The #6 seed Garde Dog is the lowest seed remaining and considering it's performance in the first round it should give Noble Pils a tough match. While it's not a shock there's no 7 or 8 seed left it's odd no 4s made it. The Anchor Bock versus Rising Moon match may be the most intriguing. I have no idea which way that might go, although Rising Moon performed better in the first round. On the other side of the bracket, I like Glissade in a walk and think Spring Buck will be tough for Aprihop. There you have it let's see who can handle the pressure and make it to the semi-finals.
