March Draftness is back in 2024!

We at Better on Draft believe our bracket is more unique than other brewery-related March Madness brackets. We have reached out to hundreds of breweries throughout Michigan and received each brewery’s approval to participate. The breweries were added to the bracket on a first come first serve basis to create the field of 64.

The brewery that wins it all is to host a keg party thrown by us and paid by us. With this type of buy in, we don’t want to assume that any and all brewery is able to “good” to make up their end of the deal.

Voting takes place on Facebook. This year we are stepping away from Emoji Voting, and instead we will be using Poll Voting.

Below are the four different regions and the 16 breweries that will be participating in each. Names are in order as they appear on the graphic.

Ed Norton

Edwin "Ed" Norton was first introduced to craft beer when his designated fraternity Big Brother Vince asked him if he knew anything about the topic. Ed admitted his ignorance and the rest is history as Ed and Vince would split six-packs of craft beers each week during Ed's probationary status. Ed is now a craft beer enthusiast who is always on the lookout for a beer he has not tried when bottle shopping or drinking at breweries and bars. In addition to drinking beer, this livelong Michigan resident enjoys a bunch of hobbies that he doubts you really care about, other than drinking beer and sounding off about it.
