We saw some awfully close races in Round 2 of the Vermont Brew Bracket presented by Three Penny Taproom — and the choices only get tougher from here.

The big upset of Round 2 was the rise of 14th Star Valor, which defeated last year’s debutante Fiddlehead IPA by a 58 percent to 42 percent margin. Somewhat curiously, this matchup had about twice as many votes as the other polls — 2880 total votes, while the others had between 1321 and 1692. I’m sure our dear readers wouldn’t do anything untoward and stuff the ballot box … right?
