Is Your Team's Beer Pairing Fair?

The Perfect Beer for Every NCAA Tournament Team

California Golden Bears
  • Berkeley, CA
  • The beer: Fieldwork Good Conduct
  • A reminder to everyone involved with the Golden Bears to keep everything up and up in light of one of their assistants being dismissed recently amid sexual harassment allegations -- in the form of an easy-drinking brown ale! Good luck, guys.
CSU Bakersfield Roadrunners
  • Bakersfield, CA
  • The beer: Lengthwise Brewing Co. Ale Ya
  • After watching the Roadrunners hit a last-second 3 to win the WAC tourney and send them to their first Dance, the only reasonable reaction was... unprintable. But Ale Ya, a 9.5% ABV imperial IPA, is a fine PG substitute for those unprintable words. Roadrunner fans likely said more unprintable words when they saw that the team drew Oklahoma in the first round.
Fresno State Bulldogs
  • Fresno, CA
  • The beer: Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Co. Piece of Cake
  • The Bulldogs drew #3 Utah as their first-round game. It'll be a Piece of Cake, most likely, and as sweet and smooth as the 7.2% ABV sweet stout Piece of Cake from Tioga-Sequoia. Yep, definitely a piece of cake and not a Utes blowout. You know why? They just got done playing in Vegas the weekend before, and they probably still need a few more days to recover. Oh wait, Fresno State played there too. That game's gonna be a mess.
USC Trojans
  • Los Angeles, CA
  • The beer: Eagle Rock Brewery Solidarity
  • The Trojans backed into the tourney a bit dropping seven of their last 10, and don't necessarily have any one superstar player. But they're balanced (five players score 11 or more per game) and as long as they stick together (Solidarity!) they have a shot, just as fans will have a shot to enjoy this easy-drinking, locally brewed mild ale.
