Flying Dog Lucky S.O.B Brewed With Real Clover Leafs

Feelin’ lucky?  If not, maybe Flying Dog Brewery has a solution for you.  A beer brewed with real four leaf clovers has to be lucky right?  As Flying Dog adds the four leaf clovers to the brew that were hand picked at the brewery last year, they recite the following poem:

“Here’s to a long life and a merry one,
“A quick death and an easy one,
“A pretty girl and an honest one,
“A cold beer and another one!”

Lucky SOB is an easy drinking Irish Red Ale that checks in at 5%ABV.  Though Flying Dog doesn’t guarantee that good luck will come with consuming this brew, they do ask: why risk it?

Lucky SOB will appear next week, draft only, in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Washington DC.

Bottle Time For Flying Dog Single Hop El Dorado

Flying Dog Single Hop El Dorado IPAThe first release of Flying Dog Single Hop El Dorado was around this time  last year.  The El Dorado hop gives this imperial IPA a fruity (described as pineapple/apricot) flavor.  The name means “The Golden One,” and that’s just what the brewery thinks this hoppy brew is.  Golden.  I think people agree.

With overwhelming citrus hop aroma and uniquely sharp, yet sweet, hop bitterness, this beer is what hop heads have spent their whole lives searching for.

Style: Imperial IPA
Availability: Draft, 12oz bottles.
Region: Mid-Atlantic Region
Arrival: TBA

10%  ABV

As always info above is tentative and is subject to change.   Count on it when you see the bottles on the shelves!
