What makes a Beer Brackets champion? Is legacy a more important factor than a firm, fresh impression? Stone's Ruination IPA may be the product of a contemporary craft brewing giant, but today it's up against the alcoholic equivalent of Cher: Yuengling Lager.

VIEW:

Just because of the fact that simply asking for a "lager" in the midstate will get you a Yuengling does not mean that Pennsylvania legend has cornered the market on readers' palates. Stone is a mighty presence on the craft beer scene. Is it time for central Pa. to get a new favorite beer?
