Boston’s hoping for a third “Most Arrogant Bar in America” win
Boston’s Bistro & Pub, 7500 N. Main St., Dayton, is proud to have nabbed the title “Most Arrogant Bar in America” not once, but twice. Still, owner Dave Boston is hoping 2009 proves that the third time really is the charm.
The national award bestowed by Escondido, Calif., brewer Stone Brewing Co. goes to the bar or pub that sells the most Arrogant Bastard Ale in the country.
This year’s competition will be held Nov. 7-13. And this time around, patrons won’t just be drinking to help with a title, they’ll be drinking for a good cause. Boston will be donating some of the profits from the sales of ABA to the Diabetes Association of the Dayton Area — 50 cents for every $2.50 Imperial Pint sold and $1 for every $9 pitcher of ABA sold.
This year, growlers don’t count — the beer has to be consumed at Boston’s. But daily food specials and events should help add incentive to stick around. Event highlights include a midnight kick off on Friday, Nov. 6, live entertainment throughout the week including music by the Skilless Villains, Jim Jennings, Nick Mitchell and Magic Jackson; and a “Smart Bier Trivia” contest Wednesday, Nov. 11. For more information, visit www.bostonsbistro.com or call (937) 461-1002.

Boston’s is a good place to go if you’re looking to explore craft beer. The bartenders (and patrons too) can help you find something you’ll enjoy. Arrogant Bastard’s a great beer but it might not be the first choice for someone used to Bud and Miller.

The title for “Most Arrogant Bar in America” has been won by a North Carolina company called Tilted Kilt. 1st win for the Southeast and apparently a new record amount was sold. Boston’s gave a good run and will surely be back next year!
