Red, White and Brew
I was out of town over the weekend to celebrate a couple of milestone birthdays with the other half of the Hop Talk Advisory Panel: Don and Max. Good times, good times.
As such, I wasn’t able to attend the Red, White and Brew event in downtown Brunswick for First Friday. My wife was able to attend as my proxy, though.
Diane Ellis, Naomi Everett, JT Smith from Flying Dog, and former Miss Brunswick Railroad Days A. Danaher
JT, a Brunswick native, was the Flying Dog representative, and he brought the In-Heat Wheat and Tire Bite Golden Ale. (Naomi preferred the Wheat.) Of course, Naomi’s favorite Flying Dog brew is the Doggie Style Pale Ale, which JT found a little surprising because it’s so hoppy. My wife, though, loves those grapefruity hops.
Other highlights of the event include food (Memphis-style pit beef BBQ, baked beans, cole slaw), ice cream, and live music by Jumptown. About 200 hundred people attended, with proceeds going to support Brunswick Main Street.

Like Hunter S. Thompson… Gonzo Imperial Porter is deep and complex. This turbo charged version of the Road Dog Porter is mysteriously dark with a rich and malty body, intense roasted flavors, and a surprisingly unique hop kick. With Gonzo weighing in at 7.8% ABV, it will bite you in the ass if [...]

By far the biggest dog in the yard… Horn Dog Barley Wine is a dark and malty English-style Barely Wine that is aged for a minimum of three months before being packaged. Like a fine wine, this beer will only get better with age when stored at optimum conditions.
According to the label, this is [...]

Beer-a-Day #256
One of the highlights of GonzoFest yesterday was the preview of Flying Dog’s upcoming 20th anniversary beer: Raging Bitch.
I understand it’s made from an augmented Snake Dog wort with an exclusive Belgian yeast strain (called Diablo) and dry-hopped with a load of Amarillo hops. They’re calling it a Belgian IPA.
It was really good. It [...]

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here [...]

GonzoFest today. More on that later. In the meantime…
Blessed by Hunter S. Thompson… Road Dog Porter was our first beer to be illustrated by Ralph Steadman. This is a dark, rich and malty beer, with hints of chocolate and licorice resulting from the use of four prized malts. We also defended Road Dog’s honor [...]
