2018 Montana Mint Brewery Bracket
MONTANA -Today, the Montana Mint announced the 2018 Montana Brewery Bracket.
The Bracket features 60 breweries from 44 Montana cities and towns (and unincorporated areas!). The bracket also features a write-in spot for the first round of voting. The brewery with the most write-in votes will secure a spot in the Sweet 16.
A downloadable bracket is available here.

Voting
The first round of voting will take place March 12-18. Voting for the the Sweet 16 round will take place March 19-25. And the voting for the Final Four will take place March 26-April 1. We will crown Montana’s favorite brewery on Monday, April 2.
As in year’s past, there will be three ways for Montanans to vote: (1) via www.motnana-mint.com; (2) via twitter poll; and (3) and on the Montana Mint’s Facebook Page [edit: We can’t figure out how to make Facebook polls work for this – message us if you can help!]. That means you can vote THREE [edit: two 🙁 ]times for your favorite spot. Voting ends at 8pm every Sunday.
Round one voting is currently open – you can vote here. Twitter and Facebook voting will go live on Monday evening.
Other Info
Breweries are free to use our brewery bracket logo on promotional material (available here).
The Montana Mint hosted brackets in 2015 and 2016 to name the best pizza place in the state. After tens of thousands of votes were cast, Eugene’s Pizza in Glasgow won both competitions.
The full list of breweries in the bracket can be found below.
In Episode 16 of the Montana Mint Sports Podcast, the team breaks down the bracket and discuss their favorites to win. You can listen to it here or on any major podcast app.
