Editor's note: Our poll will end Thursday at the end of this voting round. We published our poll and bracket challenge as a a fun way to highlight and celebrate the successful brewery industry in Bucks County and the small businesses behind it. A business has since raised concerns with the voting. We thank our readers for their participation.

Things are heating up as we head into the next round of our Battle of the Beers challenge.

Last week, it was a tight race as eight heavy hitters went toe-to-toe for a chance to stay in the game, leaving us with four breweries who exemplify the diverse styles, flavors, atmosphere and vibes one can find across our local craft beer scene.

Inspired by the competitive spirit of March Madness, your picks are facing off in a multi-round bracket-style tournament, where we’re asking readers to help crown “Bucks County’s Favorite Brewery.”

So, let’s keep the excitement going, as we head into the Final Four round.

How were the breweries chosen for our Battle of the Beers challenge?

Earlier this month, we started with a nomination round to help narrow down the list of 26 breweries to 16 finalists.

Using those results, we put together a bracket with seedings based on the number of votes received. Each week, we’ll introduce a new round, as some breweries advance, and others fall off the bracket.

See the results from last week’s Elite 8 round here.
