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.Eric Dresses Up As Invisible Man for Halloween
I haven’t seen Flying Dog President, Eric Warner for at least a week so I’m assuming he is just in the midst of his annual week-long Halloween celebration, in his favorite “Invisible Man” costume. The question remains, what is the occasion for dressing as a Golfer the during the months of June, July, August and September?
I got this image from a presentation Ralph Steadman did with the words, “I’m hoping Bush gets to look more like his pictures everyday… sooner or later even his wife won’t recognize him…” It’s going to make one hell of a Halloween costume as well.
Rippe Eats It Raw 
Don’t be scared by the title. Our newest video has Flying Dog founders George Stranahan and Richard McIntyre chatting about starting the Flying Dog Brewpub in Aspen, their decision to use Ralph Steadman’s illustrations on their labels and what makes a person a “Flying Dog”. These guys are old, so they have to know something, right? And by the way, Eric wears girls clothes. Click on the image to the left to watch the video.
Flying Dog Apparel Launches New Website
Flying Dog Apparel (managed by the beautiful Brianne) has just launched our new online shopping website for all your holiday gift needs. Aren’t we savvy with that timing? We have a ton of new gear so log on and check things out. This year you can get your friends and family something they actually want.
Flying Dog Loses World Series Wager 
With all the excitement of the Colorado Rockies going to their first World Series (and being winners of 21 out of 22 games), we were feeling pretty confident when Harpoon Brewery approached us with a World Series wager. Should the Red Sox win, we were to serve Harpoon IPA for a week in our Tasting Room. With a Rockies victory, Harpoon would do the same with our Doggie-Style Classic Pale Ale.
Well, we took a beating that would make any red-headed step-child cringe. The Harpoon is on the way, so stop by for a victory beer, MASS-holes. For more info on the wager, check out the article in The Patriot Ledger.
Till next time, cheers

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 irreverenceHelp Save Road Dog!
 We have no room to complain here at Flying Dog; with all your help we have been growing like crazy and spreading the Flying Dog gospel along the way. Unfortunately, there have been some disturbing rumblings coming from the office of Flying Dog President Eric Warner in recent weeks. Sales of Road Dog, the original Gonzo label done by Mr. Steadman, have been slumping and due to a keg shortage we already had to discontinue Road Dog on draft.Now, I know there are copious amounts of RoadDog fans out there and I would hate to see Eric make hasty decisions like he is known to do. Help me by joining in the “Save Road Dog Campaign”. Send your best defense for Road Dog to bullshit@flyingdogales.com and we will beat Eric into submission. The best response will be published in the next newsletter and win a free Road Dog t-shirt, pint glass and a Flying Dog cap. And for the sake of all that is holy, go out and drink some damn Road Dog.Check out more of Road Dog’s turbulent history at FlyingDogAles.com.
Send Us Your Video Last week I mentioned that Flying Dog had launched a new website called BeerDinners.com. We want to make your cooking skills world famous; not Food Network famous,700 but we’ll do the best we can. Send us video footage of your next beer dinner (or a YouTube link) and we will post the good, bad and ugly up on BeerDinners.com and Flying Dog Brewery’s video page. I haven’t figured out what you’ll get yet but the best submissions will be rewarded.
Flying Dog Apparel Artist Series
 Flying Dog Apparel and SupportLocalCreativity.com are launching a new t-shirt series featuring designs from independent artists from around the country. If you are an artist and wish to submit your artwork for consideration, please email supportcreativity@supportlocalcreativity.com for full details. Artists will be paid for their artwork as well as being featured at SupportLocalCreativity.com. The submission deadline for Flying Dog’s first Artist Series is Oct. 31 so get inspired and help Flying Dog promote your work.
Till next time, cheers!

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. We recently had a visit from our good friend, Matt Mosley, who brought this HST mannequin that he had commissioned for his recent birthday party. This thing is scary real and even has an original “Free Lisl” (Google it) button to boot. To make a long story short, after a week of freaking out Matt’s wife, she made him get it out of the house and he was nice enough to let Flying Dog Brewery become Hunter’s temporary home. Matt, who knew Hunter personally, told me, “He would have hated this  thing.” So here’s my question to The People’s Republic: What do we do with this mannequin of the late, great, Dr. Gonzo? Let me know at bullshit@flyingdogales.com. The best answer will win one of our limited edition Wild Dog Barrel-Aged Gonzo Gift Sets and maybe we’ll actually take them up on their suggestion. I’m really curious as to what Mr. Steadman will have to say of this abomination after reading this week’s newsletter.
Speaking of Hunter, on Saturday we’re heading up to his old stomping grounds - the Woody Creek Tavern for our Woody Creek White release party. See our event list below for details and Flying Dog’s other upcoming events.
June 16th - Woody Creek White Release Party
June 21st - Flying Dog/Wyeast Special Symposium
June 21-23 - American Homebrew Conference
June 23-24 - Colorado Brewer’s Fest
June 23rd - AfroBlu
Flying Dog Apparel is having a fire sale on T-shirts and posters as we make room for our new designs. If there was ever a time to be irresponsible with your rent money it’s now as gear is close to 50% off. There isn’t much left, so hop online and buy some shit.
 
 It’s your last chance to participate in our Open Source Beer Project which runs through the end of the June. Get on your computer and give us your underqualified opinion on how to brew up our next Wild Dog release.
Till next time, cheers,

To enter, just send an email to bullshit@flyingdogales.com with the subject “Pick Me Asshole!” and I will reveal our winners in the next newsletter. The results from the poll are below if you’re interested in what the People’s Republic picked as their winner.

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. We have been having a raging internal debate over the past few weeks as to what the best Flying Dog beer is. Although that is up to the individual drinker we thought we would have a poll and bring the debate to the people. Check out our Squidoo page to vote and get a ton of other cool Flying Dog shit while you’re at it. Neal’s really up my ass about this poll so if I get 500 votes by next newsletter I will giveaway the 2 Ralph Steadman signed bottles of Gonzo I’m starring at right now. Marinate on that for a while.
 We have a new video available through our video page. Watch part one of our virtual tour as Prez Eric Warner and I wax poetic about Flying Dog’s beginnings. While you’re watching the new video you can also download our new widget that that automatically updates when new videos are posted.
