For those of you who follow Flying Dog on Twitter, you know that last Friday was a very busy day.

The Food Network visited our brewery to film an episode of “Unwrapped,” featuring Snake Dog IPA - our resident hop monster that slaps you in the face with flavor.

Following the premise of the show, the crew walked through the entire process of brewing Snake Dog: from welcoming the malt to our brewery to waving goodbye to the bottles and kegs. Leading the way was Matt Brophy, senior VP of brewing operations, with a little help from Jim Lutz, VP of sales.

Here’s a glimpse behind the scenes:

Details on the episode are still under wraps (we couldn’t resist). What we do know is that it will air anywhere between 3 months to 1 year from now. We’ll let you know when we start rolling out the red carpet for Brophy and Lutz.

For those of you who don’t follow us on Twitter, start. Then you can hear about sweet breaking news, like when Marc Summers is going to holler at some Snake Dog.

Our VP of Sales Jim Lutz gets around. Every week, he’s seemingly in another part of the country that we distribute beer in. Of course, we’re in 46 states (and 26 countries or something), so that’s a lot of ground to cover. Last week, Jim stopped in at Fat Head’s Brewery & Saloon in Cleveland, Ohio. He was there to hang out and drink a few beers. Fat Head’s started originally in Pittsburgh, PA but the Cleveland location has been open for about three months now and, along with their beer brewed in-house, they have a world-class lineup of guest taps. Flying Dog is thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful brewpub! SO if you live in Cleveland or are passing though, stop by and drink some great beer.

The fine folks from Jack’s Bistro in Baltimore came by the brewery to see how we make beer a couple weeks back.  Judging from this picture, they had a good time.  That’s what I call “info-tainment”!
