The Monday morning hangover. Baltimore Ravens take the trophy and and the glory. In the beer world, a bet was made between Anchor Brewing and Flying Dog. The bet? Loser wears the opposing teams colors all week, AND pour their beer.
Looks like Anchor’s tap room will be a little more purple. As friend just put it – hopefully less stabby. I’ll leave that one alone.
Flying Dog is already gloating a bit…

Ahead of the Super Bowl, Flying Dog has made a little beer bet. The Dog’s brewmaster Matt Brophy is sure The Ravens will take down Anchor Brewing beloved 49ers. The stakes? The loser pours the Har-bowl winner’s beer for a week in the tap room wearing the winner’s jersey.
“We get one opportunity in life, one chance at life to do whatever you’re going to do, and lay your foundation and make whatever mark you’re going to make,” Brophy said. “Whatever legacy you’re going to leave; leave your legacy!”
This isn’t his first football/beer bet Matt Brophy has made. Similar bets with Adam Avery (Avery Brewing/Broncos) and Al Marzi of Harpoon (Patriots) were made too. He’s on a roll. The showdown is Sunday.
The 2013 Brewhouse Rarities include:
Since both the Vineyard Blonde and Orchard Ale are agriculturally dependent, the November release was intentionally left open.
“Disconnected from the world below, the entire brewery congregates atop a historic mountain overlook each year to develop beers that shatter the confines of traditional styles.The only criteria lies in a few words from the Good Doctor ‘Too weird to live, to rare to die’ -Hunter S. Thompson.”
In conjunction with their Brewhouse Rarities Series Flying Dog will launch their Green Tea Imperial Stout in February of 2013. This will be one of only 3 in the series to be released in bottles.
Style: Imperial Stout (w/ Green Tea)
Availability: 750mL bottles. Draft

Frederick, MD — At 15:37 EST on July 27, Flying Dog Brewery issued direct orders for its Brewmaster and 23-Star General Matt Lovefreedom Brophy to head to Scotland. His operative objective? Brew Dog domination.
Captaining his own destroyer, equipped with ballistic missile submarines and PCs pre-loaded with Minesweeper, Brophy will set sail for Nessie’s homeland Tuesday and arrive on the white sand beaches August 23.
Closely guarded in the ship’s hull will be International Arms Race, the Zero IBU IPA and cause of this all-out war between the two breweries.
At the end of March, Flying Dog and BrewDog decided on the terms of their combative collaboration. Hops were banned from the battlefield, but after 84 hours of negotiation, a host of other weapons to impart bitterness — spearmint, bay leaves, rosemary, juniper berries, and elderflower — were agreed on. Then, it was decided that each brewery would craft it’s own version of the beer, which highlights the human element of the brewing process and does not require the Flying Dog staff to socialize with any Scots.
“Collaboration was never an option,” Brophy said. “It’s a long word that takes entirely too long to type. So, we challenged BrewDog to a battle of the brewing arts and they accepted. Now, it’s time to face off.”
On August 23, Brophy and BrewDog Captain James Watt will begin a tour of BrewDog pubs in both Scotland and England. Civilians can seek refuge from war and try each brewery’s International Arms Race at the following:
Brophy held a private preview of the Flying Dog Zero IBU IPA with Ewan McGregor, Craig Ferguson, Gerard Butler, and Brian Cox. Their overwhelming response to the beer and support for American liberty provided further validation for Brophy, but also furthered Watts’ doubt, self-loathing, and hatred for Bald Eagles.
“We keep hearing from James that it will be bloody,” Brophy said. “Consider that a warning.”
If left standing, Watt and skirt-wearing cohorts will join Brophy on his home turf in September to premiere each brewery’s version International Arms Race in the United States.
