Lucky Cat (Vermont)
JUDGING THE BOOK BY ITS COVER
Basically, it's the Cheshire Cat on the cover. A story on the neck, but no bragging or boasting.
To be honest, this one only made the cut because we had a couple extra in the fridge.
HOW HAPPY WOULD I BE TO DRINK THIS AGAIN?
Angi: I'm not likely to buy that special Magic Hat mixed bag 12 pack again.
Zach: Basically, if I'm drinking Magic Hat, its #9 all the way ... unless I see Blind Faith again. Had to cry today.

Angi: 2; Zach 2 ... Total Score ... 4
Bye bye Magic Hat. And bye bye Vermont ... until next time or Long Trail starts getting shipped to Florida.
Bison Organic IPA (California)
JUDGING THE BOOK BY ITS COVER
Shockingly a picture of a Bison on it, and a description on the neck
HOW HAPPY WOULD I BE TO DRINK THIS AGAIN?
Angi: I'm happy it's an organic beer. It gets the nod before other beers of that caliber just because it's organic.
Zach: Not too happy. Something's just not right about it, or maybe it's not me. This is the kind of beer you wanna give the "it's not you, it's me" routine to.
Angi (while listening to LCD Soundsystem): I'm bobbing my head along to this because I like it. With Phish, I was bobbing my head because I was stoned.

Snake Dog IPA (Maryland)
JUDGING THE BOOK BY ITS COVER
If you've heard of a liger, than this is the label for you. There's a half dog, half snake, half sloth kind of thing going on. Okay, we may be making up the sloth, but it's obviously half dog, and the other half snakesloth. It's got a fratguy story on it, which is kind of disappointing.
HOW HAPPY WOULD I BE TO DRINK THIS AGAIN?
Angi: It's like that girl you bring out on a second date, not all that flashy, but is still a pretty good time.
Zach: I'd drink it again, but wouldn't really care.

Mojo (Colorado)
JUDGING THE BOOK BY ITS COVER
A solid label. It's not too busy and there's a long story on the side. OH, it's a HURRICANE in the middle. I had no idea what was going on. Wait, there aren't any hurricanes in Colorado though.
HOW HAPPY WOULD I BE TO DRINK THIS AGAIN?
Angi: Thrilled. Excited.
Zach: I'd very happy to drink this again. So refreshing after these other 3 we've had tonight.

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
JUDGING THE BOOK BY ITS COVER
I love Dogfish's label for all their beers. Hazy hops and a shark.
HOW HAPPY WOULD I BE TO DRINK THIS AGAIN?
Angi: I wouldn't necessarily order this on tap, but it's a great beer for bars to have on tap.
Zach: Every bubble of carbonation bursts with flavor in my mouth.

Hopping to Heaven
JUDGING THE BOOK BY ITS COVER
It's downright tragic that we've decided to eliminate this beer even before drinking it. Bottom line, you can't find it in a 12 ounce bottle, thus it wouldn't be able to fit in a six pack, thus it's eliminated. Initially, there may have been many beers this size included, but it turns out, this became the only "Big" beer in the tournament. Crying shame though, because this beer is phenomenal.
HOW HAPPY WOULD I BE TO DRINK THIS AGAIN?
Angi: I'd feel awesome that someone spent 10 dollars on me.
Zach: Freakin' ecstatic. This beer is absolutely incredible, but it's priced higher and you can't find in a 12 ounce.
Last Round Scores: (out of 10)
Angi: 10; Zach 9
This Round Scores: (out of 5)
Angi: 5; Zach 5 ... Total Score ... 10!!!!!! But it's eliminated.
