Shame on me for not doing a search first......
LOL, no worries...it happens here all the time...
A lot of new members on here don't realize that a lot of us beer geeks get emails and tweets, press releases, and other things directly from the breweries, brewers, organizations, and even industry trades, and that by the time it makes it to the more public news agencies (the "mainstream media") more than likely it's been 2-3 days since the more industry related news already released it (that's how the mainstream media got word of it anyway, from the same sources we did) AND more than likely it was posted on this forum, the very day the word came out.
Usually the site they posted, got the same press release the first poster of this info on here did.
That's the nature of this place, we're like the uber site for beer geeks if we're not making the news we're breaking the news.
This isn't the first time it happens...this week, anytime beer is in the mainstream press, we get a ton of threads. The release of Bud American Ale was like a blizzard on here.
I predict at least three more thread by the time the week is out, as the story goes though all the cylcles including ending up on facebook.
