Another CBC is a wrap, and we have some new World Beer Cup winners

The Craft Brewers Conference wrapped up last week and as part of the festivities the World Beer Cup winners were announced. We’re stoked to have a few home state winners in the mix, and we discovered a lot of new breweries that are (apparently) making great beer.

In news that we love, VinePair shared some stats on the Booziest Counties in the US. Can you guess who was #1, and who has the most teetotalers?

Some interesting beer-adjacent news as the FTC has banned non-competes. We’ve seen these battles play out in the past when a brewer from a popular brewery heads out on their own, most famously with Toppling Goliath. However, companies will still have some protection of their intellectual property via non-disclosure agreements. Also, some top execs could still be subject to non-competes. There will likely be some fighting on this one, so we’ll stay tuned to see where it lands.

How much would you pay for an (empty) can of beer?

A record was set recently for the price of a single beer can. An empty one, at that. An undisclosed buyer paid over $60,000 for a vintage oil can of Perone Beer. I hope he feels he got his money’s worth.

More news of acquisitions, surprising closures, seal hunts, and spruce beers. Good times.
