Woody Creek White Makes ‘08 Summer Debut

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.Summer Finds Its Savior
No summer would be complete without the annual appearance of Flying Dog’s Summer seasonal, Woody Creek White. Flying Dog’s most popular seasonal will be available through September and although I don’t like to support global warming, the heat just makes this beer taste better. Click here for more on Woody Creek White or check out the story found on the label below:

“Flying Dog Brewery founder George Stranahan is widely considered to be the unofficial mayor of Woody Creek, Colorado. George and his collection of social misfits known as “Woody Creatures” are the reason this mountain community has morphed into Gonzo Ground Zero. This unfiltered and traditionally spiced Wit Beer pay tribute to this hotbed of progressive thought.” It Texts And Wins, Or It Gets The Hose Again.
The only thing better than drinking Flying Dog is winning free shit while you do it. This summer, Flying Dog is holding our first “Text and Win” promotion. If you don’t know how to text message, you need to leave the 1990s behind and use this fancy device called the internet to figure things out (or ask anyone under the age of 30). Prizes include t-shirts, pint glasses, hats and more. Look for neck hangers on specially marked Flying Dog 6-packs and 4-packs to enter. Check out the Text and Win page at FlyingDogAles.com for full details.


Brilliant ArtWe always like to think of our brewers as artists in their own right - that’s why we have a world-class artist like Ralph Steadman grace the labels of our “Liquid Mona Lisas”. For that reason, I feel it’s my duty to share with you brilliant artistic talent when I find it. Blu, a street artist from Italy, recently released a video entitled MUTO. Despite your personal feelings about graffiti art, one must admit this is pure genius. Check out this link or click on the image to view MUTO or visit BluBlu.org.

Of course we had no business passing through the Braldu Gorge and trekking the length of the Baltoro Glacier to Concordia, throne room of the
mountain gods. Sure we’d all backpacked around the rockies, but these are the Himalayas and we’re going to K2 base camp, base of the second highest mountain in the world. We called it “The March of the Innocents,” for we were totally innocent of the knowledge and skills necessary for safe travel in this environment.

We did know some real himalayan mountaineers, and besides telling us we were crazy they offered much free and sincere advice. For sure, they said, at altitude the sun is more intense and will overheat us dreadfully. Buy an umbrella in the Rawalpindi market and take it with you for the shade.  We were told many other things too, some that we found wise and useful. But the umbrellas? We dutifully bought them in the Rawalpindi market and abandoned them a few days into the march. The porters didn’t even bother to salvage them. “Innocence must die, if we are ever to begin that journey toward the greater innocence called wisdom.”   James Baldwin
