Join us in celebrating March Madness with a single elimination bracket of 32 IPAs from across the nation going head to head in a battle to see who has biggest cone-jones! The National IPA Championship (NIPAC) starts with the preliminary round on February 23rd in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The judging rounds will be held in four cities with the final round in on March 8 in Atlantic City, NJ. I didn't see any information on how the judging of the beers will take place, who the judges will be, or if the judging is open to the public. Nonetheless this sounds like a lot of fun and will surely spark some interesting debate among fans of IPAs.
