Battle of the Brews...the Last 16

I know it has been a while since the final qualifier, but I have only just recently recovered from a nasty dose of "Bone Idleness." So tonight I have pooled all the beers that are left standing and drew them out of the hat. The first knock-out phase looks like this:

• Tesco Value Lager v Rolling Rock
• Leffe Blonde v Budweiser
• Corona v Becks
• Heineken v Red Stripe
• Becks Vier v Peroni
• Sion Kolsch v Grolsch
• Holsten Pils v Guinness
• Kronenbourg 1664 v DAB

An interesting draw that keeps most of the highest vote getter's apart. Judging by the earlier rounds, Heineken, Grolsch, Corona and Guinness would appear to be the front runners, but the brew that won by the biggest margin was God awful 2% strength Tesco offering. If this wins, I will disband the Bender Squad and take up ballroom dancing. The first tie will be held on Thursday, and sees the King of the Credit Crunchers, the aforementioned Tesco lager, take on the joint winner of the King of the Yankee beers, Rolling Rock. I will try and stick to a weekly "Beer Off," bone idleness not withstanding, till we uncover the brew that will go forward as the "Official Beer of the Bender Squad."
