Whoosh! So they're pretty high on their stuff, are they...Originally Posted by Skinz4Life12
Flying Dog is one of those really good breweries that I consider to have very good prices. If that has anything to do with it being in the county next door to me, I don't know. $21.99 for a Flying Dog six pack is actually quite shocking to hear.

Re: The Beer Thread
i know! i was expecting anwhere from 12-15 for the 6 pack but 21.99 plus tax? I'm gonna look at a few other places first.
Another example of how expensive that place is: They were charging $4.99 for one 12 oz bottle of dogfish pumpkin ale. I don't even want to know what they were charging for the 4 pack.
They have a great selection but the prices are steep

Re: The Beer Thread
I picked up a six pack of The Fear and six of Loose Cannon on my ride home from work. $21.99 is way too much.
Some good drinking this weekend.

Re: The Beer Thread
The Fear is yummy, by far the best Pumpkin Brew i have ever had.
need a new sig
Re: The Beer Thread
Indeed - it is awesome! Flying Dog is one of my favorite breweries.....$22 is freakish for a sixer! Glad y'all are finding the more reasonable spots.
Also, for those in northern va (or don't mind the drive), the NoVa Fall Brewfest is coming up. http://novabrewfest.com/fall/ I've been to a few of the summer ones and have enjoyed it. Always like finding some craft beers that are new to me.
You can't measure passion for the game.
Re: The Beer Thread
i placed an order for The Fear at my local convenience store/market. Guy said he would charge normal price for flying dog (9.50). We will see

Re: The Beer Thread

Re: The Beer Thread
Hit the jackpot today! Picked up 6 "The Fear" beers, a DFH 120 and a Heavy Seas Great'er Pumkin - which is a supped-up version of the Heavy Seas Great Pumpkin that I had last week. Aged in bourbon barrels. So, to sum it up, "The Fear" has some heavy competition tonight.
Went crazy in the beer store when I saw the 120, it's evaded me for too long, haven't had it in over a year.
Re: The Beer Thread
Did you check Total Wine? I want some Fear also. Might call them later.
Nice!
Re: The Beer Thread
No checked out some places in the Fan and Corks & Kegs. Let me know if you have luck with total wine. I just moved to Richmond about a month ago so I wasn't sure of the best place to search. Picked up a six of lagunitas little sumpin' wild ale this evening.. so good

Re: The Beer Thread
Flying Dog "The Fear" Pumpkin Ale
Color: Black, with a brown outline in the light.
Aroma: Raisins, plums and chocolate with a pumpkin pie touch.
Flavor: Pumpkin pie flavor is at a relatively medium strength. Dark chocolate, roasted malt and dark fruit make up a lot of the flavor. It's boozy as hell, and quite medicinal.
Mouthfeel: Pretty light body. It takes away from its heavy "pumpkin stout" theme.
Finish. Bitter roast, an undertone of pumpkin pie, but the booze stands out the most.
Overall I'll give this Flying Dog beer a medium B grade. It's a good switch-up from the normal orange-ish pumpkin spiced brew. I damn near tear-up when I imagine this one with a bigger, classier body. Still good!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heavy Seas "The Great'er Pumpkin"
Had this at the same time as I had a "Flying Dog The Fear." Unbelievable differences among two beers of the same style. Bright orange, with a glow to it.
Aroma is bourbon-booze, vanilla, pumpkin pie, pineapple.
Flavor, you can really taste that bourbon. It also has a strong oak backbone - the barrels they aged this beer in dominate the flavor. Pumpkin pie takes a back seat, still in there somewhere, peaks its head out here and there. Exhale through your nose and this momma is boozy. 10% alcohol, and dominated by bourbon.
I admittedly have very high expectations for the "1-up" beers (as I call them). Where a brewery takes one of their beers and makes it even "better". In this case, I'd take the regular "The Great Pumpkin" over it's big brother.
--------------------------------------------------------
I had a Dogfish Head 120 also, so the "booze" theme was at an all-time high tonight (for beer at least). At one point, I combined The Fear and The Great'er Pumpkin in to a tulip glass and it was actually pretty damn good!
