Out of 46 bars nationwide that signed up for a promotion sponsored by Stone Brewing, Boston’s Bistro and Pub in Dayton, Ohio was declared “The Most Arrogant Bar in America” and will hold the title for one full year. In order to win, they had to sell more of Stone Brewing’s Arrogant Bastard beer than any of the other participants. They took all of the other beers they normally carried off of their taps, and sold over eighteen half-kegs or approximately 2,634 pints to win the prize.
UPDATE: Kevin from KevBrews also has a nice update on this story.
Jay,
Thanks for covering this. It’s good to see attention focused on our little corner of the world. There’s an article in the Dayton Daily News about this (http://www.daytondailynews.com/e/content/oh/story/entertainment/nightlife/bars/2006/11/30/ddn120106gobostons.html), and I have a few entries on my site, too (http://kevbrews.blogspot.com/2006/11/update-bostons-is-most-arrogant.html).
And if you are ever in Dayton, be sure to check out this unique pub!
