The People’s Republic of Flying Dog is now in session. It’s happy hour at Flying Dog Brewery, so here is your latest dose of irreverence. Some email services will block the newsletter format.
2008 PreviewEveryone here at the Brewery survived the holiday visits from our families and we hope everyone out there in the People’s Republic of Flying Dog fared as well as we did. This will be my last time talking with you until 2008 is in full swing and everyone has given up on their New Year’s resolution. As 2007 comes to an end, I figured I’d let everyone in on some of our 2008 plans so you can see it will be more of the same great beer and Gonzo lifestyle you’ve come to expect from Flying Dog. This is just the teaser, you will just have to wait for full details as the year progresses.
New Beers - In February we are releasing “Cerberus” Tripel, giving us four Canis Major beers, the perfect number of high-gravity brews for our new Canis Major Variety 4-pack. We will also be releasing a mixed eight-pack of 7oz. bottles, which will include two offerings of each Canis Major style. “Garde Dog” Biere De Garde, our new spring seasonal, will be released in March - giving us our strongest seasonal line-up yet. Finally, we will continue our Wild Dog specialty series with our 6th release, due out in the fall.
Beer Dinners
- Flying Dog started BeerDinners.com in 2007 and it continues to grow as we add recipes you can make at home, events and articles about food and beer pairings. We are also sponsoring Savor, a new event brought to you by the Brewer’s Association that will become America’s premier food and beer event. There will be many more details coming soon but if you are planning a trip in 2008, the Washington D.C. area May 16-17 will be a mecca for beer and food lovers.Packaging - In early 2008, our new packaging will be hitting shelves nationwide. We gave Ralph’s art a new, cleaned up look with bolder colors and easier to read labels. Keep your eye out for the new stories that adorn every bottle of Flying Dog.
Flying Dog Hotline - Some people think we are crazy, and I might tend to agree, but we are creating the Flying Dog Hotline. Members of the People’s Republic can call us 24/7 and we will actually answer, most of the time and at least call you back when we don’t. Whether it’s a rant, rave or drunk dial, Flying Dog is on call.
Events - We will continue to bring you events around the country, whether it’s charitable gatherings, beer festivals or art events, we will bring good times to all. Keep an eye on our events calendar at FlyingDogAles.com and our event list in the newsletter. Check out the video we recently filmed at a benefit for the Woman’s Lighthouse Project. Click on the image to view.Contests - Last year we gave you a chance to win a trip to the Great American Beer Festival and Telluride Blues and Brews. In 2008, we will continue to have contests available at FlyingDogAles.com with chances to win free shit from Flying Dog and special contests only available to our loyal newsletter readers.
Online - We continually update our website as well as our blogs, FlyingDogNews.com, FlyingDogBlog.com, LeadDogBlog.com, BeerDinners.com, and SupportLocalCreativity.com so if you haven’t had a chance to check any of these out, it is your way to communicate with us at any time. We also have an extensive list of bloggers that are an important part of the craft beer community so if you haven’t, check out our blog links page and get educated.
We will see you in 2008 and send this year out in Gonzo fashion.Till next year, cheers
Chris
