Craft Beer Crosscut 10.2718: Beer Industry Geeks Flight Battle

Let the games begin, hopheads and malt mystics. Peaks & Pints’ Cool Camp Week has officially launched its second-anniversary orbit, and we’re kicking it off the only way we know how—with an all-out beer brawl in five acts. Welcome to the Beer Industry Geeks Flight Battle, where two distribution titans—Rich Jamieson of Alpha Distributing and Mike Bosold of NW Beverages—go pint-to-pint in a sudsy showdown of epic, genre-spanning proportions.

Each contender has meticulously curated a five-beer arsenal: one sour, one lager, one double IPA, one scotch ale, one imperial stout. You? You are the judge, the oracle, the sultan of suds. Choose your champion by ordering one of the two $12 flights, sip like a benevolent monarch, and cast your vote not with a ballot, but with your taste buds. When the clock strikes 11 p.m., the flight with the most orders wins. The losing rep? Shame. Eternal shame. Or at least some light-hearted ribbing and maybe a passive-aggressive toast. Either way, you win. We all win. So pull up a barstool and toast to Craft Beer Crosscut 10.27.18: Beer Industry Geeks Flight Battle—where flavor is the battlefield, and your palate is the prize.
