Let’s call it the Fermented Four.
The path to the championship in our Malt Madness beer bracket tournament is wide open after the final two No. 1 seeds were eliminated in round 3.
No. 1 Track 7 was derailed by the enthusiastic supporters of No. 6 Hoppy Brewing Company. Voting was tight — like all contests in the third round — with a winning margin of 23 votes. Hoppy is the Cinderella team of our Final Four.
Bike Dog was the other remaining No. 1 seed to fall flat, upset by No. 2 New Glory in a close contest decided by just 31 votes.
No. 2 Sactown Union of East Sacramento also advanced, as did No. 4 Tilted Mash of Elk Grove.

Our final round of voting will culminate with a champion April 2. The final round starts Friday, March 30.
