The 2015 Disney Beer Tournament – Fifth Round

March 30th, 2015 by The Beers and Ears Crew in Beer Culture

We’re down to the Final Four beers in the 2015 Disney Beer Tournament!

Sometime late Saturday night or Sunday, a post on Facebook started getting shared around. I haven’t seen this post personally, but the large influx of views from Facebook, the random comments on the site, and the voting all showed that there was a post out there encouraging people to vote for Dogfish Head 90 Minute. Sometimes one of the great mysteries of the Internet is tracking down where a link came from. If you came here from a post on Facebook on Sunday and don’t mind sharing the source, let us know below!

The polls themselves were pretty close until I checked around mid-day Sunday; we then saw some clear breakaways. But first, as always, your tweets!

@999HappyHops @beersandears Definitely true, but on the bracket front, I am mystified by how Dead Guy keeps marching along.

@999HappyHops @beersandears Tank 7, then Two Hearted and it's currently beating Three Philosophers. Not better than any of them.

Three Philosophers and Dead Guy went back and forth for a long time!

@beersandears So happy to see Dead Guy getting some love.

@beersandears Sculpin vs Chimay should be the championship match!

Were those the final choices? Let’s find out! Each winner will be announced, then the polls will follow. Voting for the fifth round will end Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 6:00 PM!

First up, the Mickey region winner is…

St. Bernardus Abt 12!

This ended up being the closest match of the tournament although Abt 12 led most of the time. Bell’s Oberon just couldn’t pull together a comeback.

St. Bernardus Abt 12 will be facing the Donald region winner. But first, let’s present the Minnie region winner…

Rogue Dead Guy Ale!

This one was close until sometime on Sunday and was tied on multiple occasions. The influx of voters on Sunday elevated Dead Guy Ale over Ommegang Three Philosophers. It just goes to show that you can never be sure a beer’s going to win until it’s over!

St. Bernardus Abt 12 will be facing the Donald region winner, who is…

This one started out close as well, but 90 Minute had already started to pull away from Hopageddon when the influx of Facebook voters started. Those voters really just removed the doubt.

Now let’s see who Rogue Dead Guy Ale will face; here’s the Goofy region winner…

Chimay Blue!

Throughout the entire round, Ballast Point seemed to lag just a bit behind Chimay Blue. Sculpin would catch up a bit then fall behind again. The voting on Sunday only increased that gap.

Only two polls today; the winners of these will face off for the tournament championship!

First, the left side of the bracket:

The right side of the bracket:

I’ve saved the full bracket for the end for those who like to see it.

Voting will end Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 6:00 PM. Be sure to have your votes in before then!
