Prank wants to use his beer muscles to set up a sudsy nirvana to host 6,000 guests — 20 times the size of the town's previous/traditional Oktoberfest beer hut gatherings.

Qanoon means "grill" in Arabic. The proper spelling would ideally be Kanoon but my siblings and I love the musical string instrument Qanun. I love it so much that I felt I should replace the "K" in Kanoon with a "Q"; and this is how the name Qanoon was born. [source]
