Beer and loathing at Flying Dog Brewery

We’ve seen small breweries roll out some great special-edition beers in recent years. Wasatch Beers in Utah has its Polygamy Porter (slogan: “Why have just one!”). After Vermont Sen. Jim Jeffords ditched the Republican Party and became an independent, South Burlington’s Magic Hat honored him with a Jeezum Jim beer. And now comes news that Denver’s Flying Dog Brewery will honor the late Hunter S. Thompson with a Gonzo Imperial Porter. “Like Hunter, this beer is deep and complex,” says the release on the Flying Dog Web site.
