Stone Brewing answers: Why not (Columb)us?
Cburs were campaigning hard last year, when Stone Brewing Co. announced that is was looking at opening a new spot; and Columbus got even more crafty with its campaign once the brewery put the city in the final three. But, ultimately Richmond, VA won and Columbus was left to drown its sorrows in other craft beers. But, if the city has been waiting for Stone Brewing to explain themselves, then they’re in luck. In an interview last week, COO Pat Tiernan clarified that Columbus didn’t do anything wrong; they just felt like they could work (better) with Richmond.
Tiernan went on to say in a statement:
Oh, and that “other brewery” is probably Scottish brewers BrewDog, who recently started looking into a North American operation. (deb)
