Michigan Bar Hopes to Break World Record for Most Taps
HopCat, a Michigan-based brewpub, hopes to break the Guinness World record for the most taps from a single brewery in one night, and they're teaming with Short's Brewing Company to do it. On August 22, HopCat hopes to have at least 100 taps from Short's at its East Lansing location. The previous record was 70 taps from one brewery at a bar in California set back in 2012.
Flying Dog Brewery Bash Rival Breweries
Maryland's Flying Dog Brewery recently took a jab at North Carolina-based breweries with a Facebook advertisement of The Truth Imperial IPA, which the company describes as including "some of the most distinct Pacific Northwest varietals available to craft brewers today" in terms of hops. The label shows the state of North Carolina crossed-out with a green "x". The ad was an apparent reference to Sierra Nevada, its rival, which recently built a satellite brewery near Asheville. After leaving some Facebook users perplexed and a little insulted over the strange ad, Flying Dog removed it and announced it will be releasing a new imperial IPA called The Truth.
