In case you missed Sunday’s bracket reveal and play-in games, welcome to the 2020 TNIAAM Beer Bracket!

The basics: We’ve ranked the best breweries in four different regions across the country (East, Midwest, South, West) and will be voting throughout the week as we eventually name the best brewery in America. You won’t be happy with all of these picks, and you certainly won’t be happy with all of the ways these votes shake out.

Also, not going to go super in-depth on each matchup description, just for my own sanity. Links have been provided for each, for research purposes, but feel free to look further or discuss in the comments before voting.
