The 2023 Brewers Bracket is sponsored by Wicked Rain, a PNW Craft Beer Bar in Gilbert, Arizona

When the world shut down in 2020 that included the beloved March Madness college basketball tournament. This left a void for many avid sports fans including Steven "Wizard of ZA" Larson, our resident Arizona pizza expert. Also a local craft beer enthusiast, Steven saw the opportunity for a fun competition pitting the best of Arizona breweries against one another in a tournament-style bracket to see who would come out the champion. Now in its much-anticipated 4th season, the Arizona Brewers Bracket has a committee of 15 to help make this year's competition the best yet. Listen in as Steven and some of his committee members share what's new and exciting for the 2023 tournament. Enjoy the show!
