Be on the look out for this new beer. I’m sure it’s tasty. I had some blackberry homebrew at the St Paddy’s Day parade this year that was awesome.
HISTORY: “The blackberries we use in Samuel Adams® Blackberry Witbier are perfect for this brew. They deliver a subtle sweetness that balances the traditional citrus flavors from the witbier. The blackberries used in Samuel Adams Blackberry Witbier are sourced from family farms, located at the foot of the Oregon Trail and Cascade Mountains in Western Oregon, where they have been growing some of the best blackberries in the world for centuries. By bringing the blackberries, orange and coriander together with an appealing malt character and a spiciness from the hops, we’ve brewed a flavorful beer with a smooth finish that’s both sweet and tart.”

“Effective today, InBev has changed its name to Anheuser-Busch InBev,” InBev said in a statement.
The new company will be one of the leading consumer products firms in the world.
Anheuser makes Budweiser – the most popular beer in the US – while InBev produces Stella Artois and Beck’s.
InBev agreed to sell its Labatt USA business and associated licenses to get approval from the US Justice Department on anti-trust grounds.
I had a great Halloween in NOLA. Many, many thanks to Flying Dog and Mister Hunter S. Thompson for the inspiration. Thanks to Beerfest (a bar full of taps on Bourbon St.) for having Flying Dog on tap.
What do you do if you’re in New Orleans during Halloween? Dress up like Dr. Gonzo, that’s what! Brad was there and spent the last day of October in style. And always remember to bring your trusty attorney with you, especially whilst spending Halloween in The Big Easy.
And friend of Flying Dog Siobhan dressed up like our Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale and partied the night away with us during our Flying Dog Pub Crawl down “The Gauntlet” in scenic Frederick, Maryland. Now we don’t want to presuppose anything, but you’re in for a pretty good night if you’re dressed up as anything called “Doggie Style”.
We sort of sprung this concept on you people a little late this year, but rest assured there will be a contest next year, so get started on your costume and win some schtuff.
