HAZY MADNESS Final 4: On Tuesday March 25th Round 3 will highlight the Final 4 LOCAL HAZY’s. This round will run Tuesday March 25th through Sunday March 30th and in the end there will only be two Local Hazy’s left setting the stage for this year’s HAZY MADNESS FINAL.

HAZY MADNESS Championship: On Tuesday April 1st we tip-off the final round. It’s time to crown a champion! After three weeks of Hazy battles it all comes down to this. This round will feature the top two LOCAL Hazy’s selected by you. This Final matchup will take place from Tuesday April 1st through Sunday April 6th and as in weeks prior voting will end abruptly when one of the kegs kicks.

This is a fun tournament that will crown the top HAZY as voted on by you. These are eight incredible beers we are lucky enough to have at our fingertips. We all win with the fantastic selection of Hazy’s we have here in Chicago. So come out and celebrate HAZY MADNESS with us!
