But not all beer is created equal when it comes to March Madness. Depending on which team you're rooting for, there are specific brands that are more popular than others. Here are some of the most popular beer brands for fans of each major team in the tournament:
Gonzaga Bulldogs: When it comes to Gonzaga fans, the top beer brand is Deschutes Brewery. This craft brewery, located in Bend, Oregon, is known for its hop-forward beers and innovative flavors.
