Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
It's no secret: Anyone who's ever seen a football game and is not blind to mass-marketing knows beer and football go hand in hand. And as much as the federal government would like to have us believe otherwise, beer and college go hand in hand too. Therefore, beer and college football are like a "perfect storm" of drinking. And (thankfully) football season is upon us again.So it makes sense that someone would want to compile a list of "the 10 best beer towns in college football" as Joey Redner of the St. Petersburg Times attempted to do. What doesn't quite make sense is the ratio between football prowess and craft beer quality used to determine his official order.
With two national titles and "16 brewpubs or breweries" the Washington Huskies took #1. But when a South Florida Bulls team with a 1-2 postseason bowl record can take #9 over a six-time national champion Tennessee Volunteers team (#10), all I can think is, the Tampa Bay Brewing Company must serve one heck of a beer!
So sure, the list has some heavy hometown bias, but it's more about sparking some friendly football and beer-infused debate than compiling a definitive list. What do you say? Which college football town has the best mix of brewers and bowl expectations?

Madison would be my pick because Great Dane is one of my favorites, and Madison is a true football town.
Columbus might have 6 brewpubs, but 3 are chains.
Colorado wins by far win it comes to pure quality, but the football teams stink.
UW is a nice choice, but the fans don't REALLY care about football, at least not like they do in the South and Midwest where it's more of a religion.
My snub would have to be Boston. Boston College is often decent and the city is home to Sam Adams, Harpoon, and several small operations that are quite good such as Boston Beer Works (home of a cask conditioned with cheery wood strong ale named Hercules, the best beer I've ever had), John Harvard's and Cambridge Brewing Company.
