What do these breweries have in common?
* Chama River Brewing Co.
* Green Flash Brewing Co.
* Hollister Brewing Company
* Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant – Media
* Left Hand Brewing Co.
* Pelican Pub and Brewery
* Southampton Publick House
* Utah Brewers Cooperative
These are the breweries on my team in the Great American Beer Festival Fantasy League. They do share a few other things in common, although you have to be somebody who plays in a beer fantasy league to get comfortable with the geeky details.
For instance, brewers Ted Rice (Chama) and Chuck Silva (Green Flash) were in the same American Brewers Guild graduating class. I was really ticked when Hopworks Urban Brewery (co-founder Christian Ettinger was in that ABG class too) got drafted by another team before I could add teh brewery to mine.
This is already more information than you need, right?
Lotta good breweries to choose from. I figured there was no way my #8 pick would be stolen, but I was left scrambling.
Good luck,
Izzy
