Super Brew: Denver vs Seattle

The Broncos are favored by 2.5 points in tomorrow's Super Bowl against the Seahawks.  I wanted to see how they match up in a craft beer challenge.  Denver has 25 breweries and Seattle has 26, sounds like a close matchup!  Let's see below: 

Top brewery:  Great Divide (Denver) vs Elysian (Seattle)

It looks like a runaway victory for Denver, although Seattle does have a great craft beer scene.  But, how could any city compete with the town that hosts the Great American Beer Festival?  Denver is the epicenter of craft beer.  Congrats on your victory! We will see if the Broncos can get a win as well.
