Kelly, a co-owner of Third Eye and the brewery’s head brewer, and Dow Scoggins, founder of the U.S. Open Beer Championships, which is based in Oxford, both always wanted to hold a world record.

About the U.S. Open Beer Championship
The U.S. Open Beer Championship was founded in 2009 and judges more beer styles than any other competition in the world. The U.S. Open is also the only major beer competition to allow the gold medal winners of the AHA’s National Homebrew Competition to participate. The U.S. Open judging is held at the U.S. Open Event Center in Oxford, Ohio. The U.S. Open became the first beer competition to be held in its venue, a 6,000-square-foot Amish pole barn on a small farm. The barn consists of a judging area, a serving area, two 450-square-foot coolers, an office, and a nano brewery.

About National Stout Month
National Stout Month, celebrated every February, is a tribute to one of craft beer’s most beloved and versatile styles: the stout. This month-long event invites breweries, bars, and beer enthusiasts across the United States to honor the rich, roasty, and often decadent flavors of stouts, from classic Irish dry stouts to innovative barrel-aged imperial stouts. Breweries often release special stout variants, host tap takeovers, and organize tasting events to showcase the style’s diversity, featuring flavors like coffee, chocolate, vanilla, or even experimental ingredients like chili or fruit. National Stout Month not only highlights the creativity of brewers but also brings communities together to savor these bold, comforting beers during the chilly winter season, making it a must-experience for craft beer lovers.
