2018 WDET Michigan Beer Bracket: Only the Final Pour Remain

The juggernauts of Michigan’s beer landscape advance to the Final Pour, but will the underdog breweries make a move?

The 2018 WDET Michigan Beer Bracket has entered the Final Pour after originally nominating the top 32 beers from around the state.

Bell’s Two Hearted Ale will take on New Holland Brewery and their Dragon’s Milk stout.

Old Nation Brewing knocked off a duo of Founders beers to advance two of their own IPAs — M-43 versus Boss Tweed.
