World Of Beer Offers $1 Brews On Election Day (Tampa, FL) – It’s been a brutal election season and no matter whether you candidate won or lost. There was an upside to be had if you attended your local WOB yesterday. In honor of Election Day (and probably because we all needed a drink badly) you could purchase your first WOB beer for only $1 as long as you were wearing an “I Voted” sticker.
Dogfish Head Releases Its First Canned Beer (Milton, DE) – You have to admit that we’ve finally reached an industry tipping point when a brewery like Dogfish Head who’ve been bottling their beers for 20 years announces that they’ll soon be shipping their first canned beer (60 Minute IPA) soon.

Ex-Surly Vets Plan A New Brewery ( St Paul, MN) – Seems Like there’s been a lot of Surly news out there from their star brewer Todd Haug defecting to 3 Floyds to the persistent rumors that they might discussing the brewery’s future with a certain global beer giant.

What We’ve Been Drinking Lately (Washington, DC) – We’d like to thank all the breweries who ship us beer from time to time and this week we hit up 
something that we just received from the Alpine Beer. Intensely hoppy (it’s brewed with six kinds of hops) and piney to the nose, Alpine’s Hoppy Birthday is a 5.3% ABV Pale Ale that’s worthy of celebrating.
