Although the Grizzlies fought hard and got off to an early lead, they couldn’t hold the Bobcats back, and Montana State University emerged victorious with a score of 31-23. The bet was lost and Draught Works’ fate was sealed. In December, MAP Head Brewer Doug Child and Draught Works’ Head Brewer Kyle Sillars co- brewed an Imperial Stout.
