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.Pedal to the MedalsThe Great American Beer Festival is once again an image in the rear-view mirror, and only the regrets of post-Festival indiscretions and the stench of beer-soaked clothing remain. Flying Dog once again claimed its spot among the elite breweries, taking home two medals. Dogtoberfest won Gold for German-Style Märzen and Old Scratch furthered its legacy as one of the best beers on the planet by winning Silver for American-Style Amber Lager. This raises Old Scratch’s tally to 4 GABF medals and 2 World Beer Cup medals in the past 5 years. There are few (if any) beers out there that can claim that kind of supremacy, so go to your local booze emporium and pick up a 6-pack, case (or better yet, a keg) of these delicious brews.

Stuff You Should Have Been At We are releasing two new videos this week for your viewing pleasure.

The second video is our first from GABF last weekend in Denver, CO. For those of you who have never been to the GABF, shame on you. The GABF is the biggest beer festival in the country and feels like a mix between a flea market, with all the vendors pimping beer, and a college football game where everyone is partying like they are 21. This is one of the many characters we ran into that make the GABF a brilliant event. Personally, I’m laughing with him but you may not share my sentiments. Stay tuned for more video from GABF, and also some great footage from our FBAG party, where close to 700 people showed up.

Downtown Live is an all-day music event where you can’t drink Flying Dog Beer, because a very large beer company that will remain nameless can write a bigger sponsorship check than we can. However, once you are done partying at Downtown Live you can meet us for the real party as we team with Duffy’s to bring you the Downtown Live after party. We will be giving away beer and gear starting at 8pm.Flying Dog Costume Contest We here at Flying Dog believe Halloween should be a national holiday. When else can adults play dress-up and do regrettable things under a disguise of a mask and feel perfectly normal? To celebrate, Flying Dog is having a bar crawl in downtown Frederick, Maryland where we will be awarding the winners of the Flying Dog costume contests $75 bar tabs at four participating bars. Please join us in the festivities and come dressed to win. Below is the complete schedule:
