It is once again time for the biggest celebration in beer, The Great American Beer Festival. As beer freaks from around the globe arrive here in Denver, it would be rude for Flying Dog (being Denver’s largest brewery) not to be a good hometown host. Just in case three days packed with 4 drinking sessions of over 1700 beers wasn’t enough for people we have planned a bevy of additional events, including our now infamous, completely unofficial and unsanctioned Great American Beer Festival after-parties.

We’re back from Telluride, and definitely still recovering. The festival was definitely a success, even though some Sunday rain tried to get people down (it’s the BLUES festival, after all). I photoblogged a bunch of events and they’re available in the Telluride Blues and Brews set @ our flickr site (click here for a nice slide show).
We had some cool stuff going, including our very own Flying Dog-branded Plinko Board, which will also be showcased at the Great American Beer Fest next month.
The music was wonderful, my personal favorites were Joe Bonamassa and Grace Potter.
This past weekend, our friends over at the Wild Goose Brewery in Frederick, MD threw a little get together called the “Flock Party”. It been one year since the Flying Dog ownership group purchased the brewery and they thought that was good enough reason to have a good ol’ fashioned BBQ. Rippe and I agreed and made the trek to East Coast to celebrate with them.
How awesome was this party? ADMISSION was FREE. The BEER was FREE. The FOOD was FREE Plus, there was live music and brewery tours. And no, we weren’t scumbags and charged $20 for parking. It was all totally free. SWEET!
Over 1000 people agreed and came out to drink some Flying Dog and Wild Goose.
Here are some pictures from the event:
Wild Goose Brewery Manager, Ryan Fox and Sales Manager, Jim Lutz tapped a keg of the Wild Goose Oatmeal Stout that was aged in a Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey barrel. Who drank that whiskey?
Good day for drinking some good beer.
Rippe doesn’t get out of Colorado much, so don’t blame him for being a cheesy tourist, ok?
