Not only is Dan Snyder on his way out as owner of the Washington Commanders but also he has been canned.

In fact, creators of the "Bye Dan" beer celebrating his departure cannot keep cans of that craft brew in stock.

"We're up to almost 2,000 individual orders and we're still getting calls for it every day," said Chris Burns, owner of Old Ox Brewery of Ashburn, Va., located less than a mile from Commanders headquarters.
