Flying Dog Small Bottle Mixed Pack

Interesting news about Maryland's own Flying Dog I found at the DRAFT Magazine blog. Flying Dog will soon begin selling eight packs of mixed bottles of their "Canis Major" offerings -- mostly higher ABV brews.

The catch?

They'll be in seven-ounce bottles.
what people might not know is that the brewery inherited a little gem of a bottling line designed to package seven-ounce bottles in the move. Not wanting to discard this equipment and certain they could find a use for it, the team worked on a project that would utilize the bottling line. The plan? Make an eight-pack of seven-ounce bottles that will hold two of each of the brewery’s Canis Major series beers: Double Dog Double Pale Ale, Gonzo Imperial Porter, Kerberos Tripel and Horn Dog Barley Wine. One year later the project is complete and Flying Dog is about to unveil a new mix-pack of their high-octane brews.
Sounds fun. Look for those to be available before the Holiday season after a cold open Sept. 15 debut at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver.

If this sample pack makes it to So Cal, which it should, I think I'll finally get around to purchasing one of their products.

we debuted these unique packages at our FBAG party in Denver on Friday. Consumers absolutely loved them, and we're excited to get these out on shelves soon! Look for them to show up in your favorite liquor stores in early November.

The best way to get these in your hands is to ask at your retailer or call your local Flying Dog distributor.
