Our journey through the west continues with Seattle's Elysian Brewery going up against New Belgium of Fort Collins, Col.
Elysian is well known for Superfuzz blood orange pale ale, which went far in last year's brewbracket (we matched up specific beers last year). The Immortal IPA and Dragonstooth stout are also perennial favorites. New Belgium has flagship brew Fat Tire, Slow Ride IPA and an intriguing lineup of sour beers, among others.
If you're into biking, travel and the outdoors, New Belgium may be your speed. If your tastes run a bit psychadelic, Elysian could be your jam. Or just vote vote your tastebuds!
