Featured Beer of the Week 

Double Dog Double Pale Ale
Originally released as their 10th Anniversary, Double Dog Double Pale Ale was the first beer in our Wild Dog specialty beer series. Due to it's popularity, Flying Dog re-released this beer from the pound to join Horn Dog and Gonzo in their Canis Major beer series. Available in four packs these high gravity offerings are for beer drinking professionals only.

Double Dog Double Pale Ale is a generously hopped ale with a deep red color and when poured, it will have a nice frothy head. The abundance of hops will conjure some provocative aromas, hints of raisins and citrus. Website
