Comments: www.flyingdogbrewery.com Ingredients: water, malted barley, hops, yeast. Two inflammatory words … one wild drink. Nectar imprisoned in a bottle. Let it out. It is cruel to keep a wild animal locked up. Uncap it. Release it … stand back!! Wallow in its golden glow in a glass beneath a white foaming head. Remember enjoying a RAGING BITCH, unleashed, untamed, unbridled - and in heat - is pure GONZO!! - Ralph Steadman Flying Dog Brewery will celebrate its 20th Anniversary a few months early on Friday, September 25th (the brewery turns 20 next year). The brewery will be sampling the new Raging Bitch Belgian-style India Pale Ale at the Flying dog Brats And Gonzo party in Denver that day as part of the Great American Beer Fest happening that week (unscramble the FBAG acronym to get GABF). More info about the fest can be found on the official Flying Dog blog. The beer also appeared on draft at this past weekend’s Gonzofest party. Al from Hop Talk was in attendance and reported on his blog, 'I understand it’s made from an augmented Snake Dog wort with an exclusive Belgian yeast strain (called Diablo) and dry-hopped with a load of Amarillo hops. They’re calling it a Belgian IPA. It was really good. It had that hop bite from a big, bad American IPA with the banana and bubblegum from the Belgian yeast.' Some may remember a beer called, Raging Bitch Birch Beer, that Flying Dog introduced on April 1st. Whereas that low-gravity series beer was a joke, this beer is anything but at 8% ABV (60 IBU). Hop bitterness: 60 IBU. Specialty malts: 60L Caramel. Hops: Warrior, Columbus, Amarillo. Yeast: El Diablo. The American IPA hoppiness or Belgian funk of Raging Bitch can be brought out with food. Flavor notes: Sweet malt body contrasted with pine and grapefruit hop flavors and exotic fruit yeast notes. Pairs with: Wasabi, ginger, jerk, Cajun, or cayenne; tangy cheese with fruit; dark chocolate.

Comments: www.ironmaidenbeer.com, www.robinsonsbrewery.com Onward, onward rode … the 666! The Charge of the Light Brigade took place at the Battle of Balaclava (1854) during the Crimean War, inspiring the Iron Maiden song The Trooper. Recent research has found the 666 British cavalrymen charged the massed Russian guns, rather than the 600 previously reported. This gallant but foolhardy action resulted in a massive loss of life and was due to misunderstanding an order given by Lord Raglan. Learn the full story at IronMaidenBeer.com. We’ve created TROOPER 666, charged with even more flavour and more alcohol,but brewed to the same great recipe of the original TROOPER. Contains malted barley and wheat.

Comments: www.ringwoodbrewery.co.uk A smooth, full-bodied ale to rival red wine. Once famed for having the most taverns, inns and alehouses per head, it was common courtesy in the medieval town of Ringwood for a merchant or traveller to pop in for a local brew before getting down to business. So although Ringwood Brewery weren't around back then to help oil the wheels of commerce, if you're after a rich and chocolaty sup, this dark ale is a done deal. Try it with: a snack of salted peanuts or a meaty slice of pork pie.

This seasonal beer is a limited edition brewed for the short days and long nights of winter. The full body resulting from fermentation in stone Yorkshire squares and the luxurious malt character, which will appeal to a broad range of drinkers, is balanced against whole-dried Fuggles and Golding hops with nuances and complexities that should be contemplated before an open fire. Serving suggestions: the ideal beverage to combine with a winter menu of turkey, roast goose, ham and roast beef or on its own as an aperitif.

Some of the oak casks at Samuel Smith's date back more than a century with individual oak staves being replaced by the Old Brewery coopers over the years. Gradually the casks soak in more and more of the character of the ale fermented in stone Yorkshire squares. Yorkshire Stingo is aged for at least a year, matured in these well-used oak casks in the brewery's underground cellars deriving fruit, raisin, treacle toffee, Christmas pudding and slight oak flavours, before being further naturally conditioned in bottle. Allow time for yeast to settle before opening then pour gently.

A Royal Court to the Kings of Kent, the town holds no less than 17 Royal Charters and is one of the few allowed to use the three lions crest from the Royal Arms.

An awesome after-dinner drop.
