Pulpit Rock Brewing Company beer makes the "Elite Eight" of the Des Moines Register's "Beer Brackets"

This is the time of year for "brackets," but not just for basketball tournaments.

The Des Moines Register is holding a contest to pick the best Iowa-brewed beer, starting with a "beer bracket" of 64 beers.  The contest now has narrowed the field to the "Elite Eight"--and one of those eight beers is from Pulpit Rock Brewing Company.  "Loopy Lynn' is a double IPA that is competing for a spot in the "Final Four" against the "No Coast IPA" from Peace Tree Brewing.

The field of Iowa-brewed beers will be narrowed further until the winning Iowa beer is announced at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, March 28th.
