Whether or not you believe the stories surrounding the start of Flying Dog, what we do know is that since 1990 when they started brewing in Aspen, Colorado, they have produced some of the best American craft beers in their own indomitable creative spirit.
As for those bottle labels and names, that's down to the friendship between a certain Hunter S. Thompson, illustrator Ralph Steadman and brewery founder George Stranahan. Although Flying Dog is now famous for its interesting use of contemporary design, it’s ultimately the beer that counts. However, sometimes the cooler something looks, the better it tastes.
