Three Floyds is ranked the #1 brewery in the world by Ratebeer.com. The folks over at Beer Advocate have proclaimed Stone Brewing the #1 brewery on the planet. If we used a computer to determine an ultimate ranking, craft brewing would be no better than college football.

Lucky, this is a friendly rivalry and the winner will be decided by folks like you. On July 17 at the Tribes Alehouse in Mokena (11220 W. Lincoln Hwy., 815-464-0248) representatives from both breweries will be bringing out six of their best selections each in a judged tasting to determine a true winner between the two. the winning brewery will also receive a "Championship belt" to hang at their respective brewery.
