Thirty-Two Deep Ellum Beers. One Winner.
Since we all missed out on this year’s March Madness, we’re bringing you Malt Madness! We’re squaring off 32 finest Deep Ellum beers, new and old, against each other in a daily competition where you will decide which one is the ultimate fan favorite. Will Dallas Blonde quickly rise to the top or will an unlikely Local Legend dethrone the queen? Maybe a forgotten underdog like Farmhouse Wit will break through as this year’s bracket buster? Follow the game and play along on our Instagram stories daily!
How to Enter
Download our Malt Madness bracket PDF and fill it out with your best predictions. Hint: It’s editable, so you can fill it out digitally in Adobe Acrobat. Old school pen and paper are fine too, but make sure we can read it! Once you’re ready, all you have to do is submit it to brewmaster@deepellumbrewing.com with the subject line “Malt Madness” by 11:59AM on Thursday, April 9th.

Simply follow @deepellumbrewing on Instagram (if you don’t already), and vote in the polls on our profile’s story. Each matchup will be given 24 hours for voting, starting at noon, and will be archived in our highlights so you can easily keep track of the winners.
