Ron is back! And we figured it was a good time to let everyone know where he disappears to this time each year.

The Tournament of Beers is Peaks & Pints’ version of a March Madness bracket, but it is taken to the extreme. This year, the public nominated 64 of their favorite Northwest-style IPAs, and then Ron sorts them into a bracket featuring north and south regions in Washington and Oregon. Before the Tournament begins, which is today, he visits each brewery in the tourney for tastes and shenanigans. It’s bananas.

Tune in for Ron’s travel stories, our take on what a NW IPA is, and plenty of f*ck up stories.
