The Strange Carolinas North Carolina Beer Bracket

We asked you guys for your favorite places to grab a beer in North Carolina and you didn't let us down. You sent us your 75 favorite breweries, we whittled it down to the top 64, and now it's time to determine which one is the best. Over the next three weeks, we're going to break this down bracket style and find the best brewery in North Carolina! Beginning March 12th, breweries will go head-to-head for 36 hours and the one with the most votes heads on to the next round. We'll keep doing this until we crown a champion, THE BEST BREWERY IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Here's the schedule:
March 12th & 13th: First round voting
March 14th & 15th: Second round voting (this will determine the final sixteen participants)
March 19th & 20th: Third round voting
March 21st & 22nd: Fourth round voting (this will determine the final four participants)
March 26th & 27th: Fifth round voting
March 28th & 29th: Champion voting
