Nothing Says Fathers Day Like A Little Doggie Style (T-Shirt) From Flying Dog Brewery

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.

Nothing Says Father’s Day Like A Little Doggie Style (T-Shirt) From Flying Dog Brewery

Father’s Day is right around the corner. There are a few ways to handle this. You can either expect a tie or boxer shorts from your wife and kids, but doesn’t that get a little old?

The other way to make sure you get a bad-ass gift is to buy yourself some Flying Dog Merchandise from our brand new online store and ship it to yourself. Then go buy a card, write it to yourself, wrap it and present it to yourself on Father’s Day, on behalf of your loved ones. Because who knows what you want better than you do?

Along with the launch of our spiffy new website, we’ve also recently relaunched our online store. We know that you haven’t been able to satisfy your itch for Flying Dog merch recently, so here’s your chance. Look for more new items to be popping up in the near future.

Are you looking for specific merchandise? Leave us a suggestion on our website by selecting either the “Contact The Dog” tab on the right, or the “Feedback” button on the left. We want to hear from you!

Savor’s Flavor

This past weekend was the 2nd annual Savor event. A few thousand folks came together to drink the country’s best craft beer paired with a wide variety of gourmet food. As with last year, we sent a large contingent down to Washington, DC to meet consumers and pour our award-winning beer.

Gwen Conley, our Quality Control and Sensory Goddess had this to say:

The Passion Fruit-Mango Mousse Cups that were paired with Woody Creek White were AWESOME! People also really loved our Woody Creek White paired with the Chicken Breast a la Blanche de Chambly (which was chicken skewers with a goat cheese sauce). The Maytag Blue Cheese was excellent as well. That was paired with a lot of different things but really was good with any of the Double IPA’s.

Gwen’s husband Bill was on camera-duty the whole evening, and we made a Flickr photoset with the images here. Don’t miss the interesting fellow they met on the Metro after the event.

Art of the Week: Ralph Steadman Isn’t The Only Ink Slinger We Know

Art of the Week is a little different this week. We got a tweet last week from Tyler Broadrick of Lake Oconee, Georgia. He told us that he got something special. In this case, it’s a tattoo on his back.

We talked a little with Tyler, and here’s what he had to say about us:

I got the tattoo mainly because of my love for Flying Dog’s ales and that it was designed by Ralph Steadman. I also like the design of the Flying Dog wings and the story behind Flying Dog’s birth. I love both Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman and enjoyed the connection between them and the brewery. I am a fan of the Snake Dog IPA, Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale, Tire Bite Golden Ale, Woody Creek White, Dogtoberfest Marzen among many others. What I like most about Flying Dog Brewery is your originality and its background. Flying Dog ales stand alone in terms of taste and originality.

Do you have some Flying Dog art on your person? Let us know with an email and we’ll post some of the cool ones in future newsletters.

Cheers! Until next time, -Josh
