This week we are in Fredrick Maryland, hanging with Matt Brophy, the VP of brewing operations of Flying Dog, and overall awesome dude! We drink Raging Bitch, a Belgian Style IPA, which is amazing, and talk about Hunter S. Thompson & Ralph Steadman and their connection to Flying Dog.
Flying Dog was our first stop on the East Coast road trip we took back in March. We were a little tired when we got there, but as soon as we saw how awesome the brewery was and how cool all the people were there, we perked right up, and got down to doing what we do best.. drinking beer. Raging Bitch has quickly become a favorite for all three of us, and we are grateful for the amazing way that Flying Dog received us and took care of us. Thanks guys!

Hey guys,
Well this is erick or otherwise known as thor13 on the twitter. I will
try to make story short just like me. I recently began drinking craft
beer because, I really did not want to give to much money to the big
three beer makers in America. After having tried some the bigger
market beers like Guinness and Heineken. I thought maybe beer isn’t
for me. I then stumbled upon your podcast through Aric or best known
as phatemokid and began watching the show. At first it I was lost of
what you guys were talking about but, I had the same reaction when I
was watching Gary Vaynerchuk on his show, but you guys were just as
passionate about beer as Gary was about wine. I kept watching and you
guys have made try a few new craft beers when other wise I would have
never even thought about getting one. Thankfully I can say I have
never had a bud light or coors light. I could have honestly given you
how many beers, I have tried on one hand before meeting you guys. Now
I try to promote you guys where ever I go even though I still get lost
when I walk into a place like Bevmo.
Thanks for all that you guy are doing,
Stephen, John, and Brad.
Erick V.
