The brackets are ready...NIPAC is here! They've assembled 128 competitors to vie "head to head" for this year's championship in a single elimination bracket tourney. The National IPA Championship (NIPAC) starts on February 13th in Buffalo, New York; and then continues weekly up until the Final Four on March 5 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We've shortened the contest to four weeks this year, to ensure beer freshness and a quicker play out of the drama!
Remember, the best part about NIPAC is that you get to compete too! Making your picks is easy; though we admit, with 128 competitors, it will take you a few minutes to get it done. Go to:
