Tonight I have been enjoying a trio of fantastic beers by Flying Dog Brewery. I hit my favorite craft beer supplier thinking I was gonna make it an IPA night. I always have a hard time picking but when I saw that Flying Dog offered 3 choices all on their own choosing became much easier. I've always found Flying Dog to be a maker of excellent beer which are also widely available and therefore easier to enjoy by all. These 3 were no exception.
The first of the evening was a SnakeDog IPA. It is a light and crisp beer with pronounced hoppy bitterness while remaining smooth and easy to drink. It struck me as a great beer for a picnic or other warm weather outing. Full of flavor but not heavy. I would definitely drink it again.
The second of the evening was a Raging B*tch Belgian style IPA. This was a much richer and more full bodied brew. It still had the hoppiness I love but more subtly and with fruity notes alongside. A well rounded beer and definitely worth a try.
The third of the evening, and the one I swig as I type, is the Double Dog Double Pale Ale. Its label boasts unrelenting hop bitterness and totally delivers. It is wonderfully rich and has a touch of sweet at the back which makes it ever so drinkable. This beer is definitely on my short list of repeat offenders in my fridge.
Overall my opinion of Flying Dog is high with their amazing bottle art and witty descriptions as well as their amazing brews and wide distribution insuring every hophead can enjoy a Flying Dog. Can't argue with their tagline - "Good people drink good beer" by Hunter S Thompson. So so true. Cheers!
