Brewery Throw-down!

One of the many fun things I have gotten to do in my role at Rockford Brewing Co. has been to plan and host various events such as bottle tastings and Tapslams! One of my earliest events was to have RBC participate in The Brewery Throw-down! at Ashley's Bar and Grill in Westland Michigan.  It may sound kinda silly and it was but it was also a riot. Ashley's brought about a dozen micro-breweries from across the state together for a little over 3 months to compete in their pub with about 6 taps each and see who would move the most beer in an evening.  The Breweries were bracketed off and battled for top spot over a series of 3 participating Tapslams to see who took top-spot.  Below is an interview I did to discuss our placement in the throw-down and to further discuss our flagship brand at the time, our West-coast style American IPA Hoplust and its place in the market.
