We recently passed the midpoint in October and that means the Beveridge Place Pub has announced the Elite Eight in their annual Hoptoberfest Tournament. For the past two weeks patrons have sampled a wide variety of Washington IPAs and voted for their favorites, with each pubster allowed just one vote per day. Hundreds of ballots have been tallied and the top eight vote-getters now advance to the semifinals.

The Elite Eight
- 2 Beers Brewing Evolutionary IPA
- Big Al Brewing IPA
- Black Raven Brewing Trickster IPA
- Boundary Bay Brewery IPA
- Diamond Knot Brewing IPA
- Harmon Brewing Pt. Defiance IPA
- Schooner Exact Brewing 3 Grid IPA
- Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Wildcat IPA
From this group of eight, three finalist will advance to the finals and eventually a champion will be crowned. The winning beer will be the house IPA for 2011--the one IPA guaranteed to always be on tap at the Beveridge Place. Each year the winner is announced at the Beveridge Place Pub's IPA Cask-O-Rama, a three day event (Thurs, November 4th - Sat, November 6th) that features no less than 24 Washington cask-conditioned IPAs served from firkins lined up on the bar.
No doubt, winning the Hoptoberfest Tournament is an honor, but it also translates into a significant number of guaranteed sales. Read our story from last week to learn more about the Hoptoberfest tournament.
Below is a video from last year's Cask-O-Rama, when the Hoptoberfest winner was announced.
