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. 


With the 4th of July approaching there’s been a surge of Dr. Gonzo-related items in the news. I don’t know if this is a coincidence, but these tributes couldn’t come at a more fitting time of the year, seeing Hunter was a fierce defender of the American Dream. Although these tributes are all fitting, the biggest one you could give our co-conspirator and avid political junkie is to get involved and passionate with the looming election. Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S Thompson
