CHARLOTTE, N.C.,None — The very popular Mac's Speed Shop on South Boulevard will hold a celebration Thursday at 7 p.m. after being named "Most Arrogant Bar in America."
Mac's, which is well-known for its quality Southern barbecue as well as its wide selection of craft beer, sold the most pints of Stone Brewery beers at discount prices.
Stone Brewing Co. is a craft brewery headquartered in Escondido, Calif and is well known for its aggressive Arrogant Bastard Ale, which is very popular among beer enthusiasts, although the brewery considers Stone Pale Ale and Stone IPA to be its flagship beers.
Stone Brewing is consistently rated as one of the best brewers in the U.S. and twice voted #1 Best Brewery all-time, two years in a row by the readers of Beer Advocate.
Each year, Stone Brewing Company founder and CEO Greg Koch challenges bars across the country to move the most pints of Stone Brewery's three beers. At the end of one week, the bar that does so wins the title for a year.
Koch has been visiting Charlotte plenty in the last few years, as the Tilted Kilt was named "Most Arrogant Bar In America" last year. In the past, the annual competition has been dominated by establishments in the Midwest and Northwest parts of the country.
Koch will be at Mac's Thursday to award them with a plaque for the victory and will tap a variety of Stone brews to celebrate the occasion.
