Flying Dog: A Brewery with an Online Presence
Friday, July 20th, 2007Everyone involved in making Cure for What Ales You happen loves the interweb and you probably do too. I know since my neighbors got a computer (that was capable of logging onto AOL 1.0 or whatever was out then) in or around 1996, I have been hypnotized by online media.
What’s really awesome is that over […]

Thursday, July 19th, 2007The 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. I had a whole newsletter written that was really funny, if I do say so myself. But as is the trend in America today, Eric Warner Flying Dog Brewery president, abused his executive privilage and vetoed it. So […]

Yellow Cup - Red Cup
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007Show 123 was a suprise. I was not expecting a blind taste test. First, I have to brag about the whole Abita Wheat thing.
Commercial Description:
Unlike traditional German wheat beers produced by other breweries, Abita Wheat is a lager, not an ale, contains a generous amount of wheat and, therefor, has a clean, simple […]

CBR 81: Finding Salvation
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007Salvation, Salvation, Collaboration. This week we try two beers named Salvation, one from Russian River and one from Avery. Then we try the beer that the brewers made together, Collaboration, not Litigation. Collaboration is a blend of the two Salvations and we decided that if they could do it, then why can’t we? At the end of the show we try to determine just what ratio was used for the blend.
Beers:
Ranking:
- Jeff - 1. Russian River, 2. Collaboration, 3. Avery
- Greg - 1. Russian River, 2. Collaboration, 3. Avery

GABF
Monday, July 2nd, 2007I guess it’s almost time to get this one started. GABF is Oct 11-14 this year, who’s going?
SWMBO and I will be out on Thursday night and fly back to Nashville on Sunday. We’re staying at The Curtis, a hotel just a block away from the festival. This is our first time out there (and to Denver for that matter), so we’re really stoked about it.
Who else is in?
