Draft Magazine’s 2012 Beer Bracket has concluded, and the reader votes have named Stone Brewing’s 15th Anniversary Escondidian Imperial Black IPA the champion. The thick, dark, and extra-hoppy ale won a hard fought semi-final round against Firestone Walker’s Double Jack double-IPA, and then it fittingly was voted into the winner’s circle over Deschutes Brewery’s Abyss imperial stout.
