There are few topics more hotly debated than sports. Over the years, craft beer has risen to the top of that list. Since 2007, craft beer sales have soared as new breweries have opened at a dizzying pace. Craft beer is responsible for 14.3 percent of the $100 billion-dollar beer market, thanks to innovation, creativity, and an unwillingness to be like your dad’s lager.

In the second week of Bracket Madness, For The Win is attempting to determine which of the over 4,500 craft breweries in America is the greatest. We’ve narrowed our focus on the 32 breweries below, based on popularity, expert ratings, and personal experience. Like all lists and brackets, these 32 breweries are a bit subjective and there are surely omissions and unintentional snubs. It’s near impossible to determine which brewery is the greatest, but that won’t stop us from trying.

First Round voting starts at 9:00 a.m. Monday and concludes at midnight!
