Gonzo vs. Gonzo

I wrote another blog entry for the increasingly popular Denver advertising/marketing/pr/design blog The Denver Egotist about Gonzo Imperial Porter and the new Hunter S. Thompson documentary. I saw the documentary last night, and aside from a few bad bluescreening moments, it’s spectacular. People interviewed for the film include Juan Thompson (Hunter’s son), Jimmy Carter, George [...]

Savor, por favor?*

Savor – An American Craft Beer & Food Experience from Flying Dog Brewery on Vimeo. When I was on the East Coast, I worked at Savor, a beer festival that was all about pairing American Craft Beer and gourmet food. I poured a bunch of beer for happy folks, gave away a few free tickets [...]

I'm edumucating people on Colorado beer over at the Denver Egotist

I’m learning people real good on local Colorado beer for a great local blog called The Denver Egotist. This week’s column is about Avery’s Karma, one of their Summer seasonals. I’m sharing blogging responsibilities with someone over at New Belgium, too. We’ll be trading off all Summer, and I’ll be writing about various Colorado breweries [...]

Like lots of things in my life, my job title search is not completed

I’m looking for a new job title. I had previously stated that I would be having some options for you a week ago, but that didn’t happen. I’m still not really having the time to devote to this project, but I’ve liked what I’ve seen from reader-based suggestions. At the top of my list so [...]

Looking for a new job…title

I’m looking for a better job title. Anyone have any ideas? Right now I’m the Creative Manager, and that job title serves fine but it’s not fun enough. We have fun at Flying Dog and I don’t want my job title to seem stuffy. How could you not have fun if you can drink a [...]

En Garde (or Leggo my Eggo?)

Flying Dog Brewery released a new Spring seasonal beer this year – it’s a Biere de Garde (a traditional French farmhouse style) and we’re calling it Garde Dog. I shot some video on Friday featuring Executive Brewer Matt Brophy and PR & Event Coordinator Steph Kerchner. Take a look at the HD version. As for [...]

The Denver Egotist boosts my ego a little

The Denver Egotist wrote about Flying Dog’s packaging redesign, something I worked on. I got a nice little name drop. Just something to boost my ego a little bit. Well, it’s nice to get some recognition.

Savor

I wrote a blog entry over at beerdinners.com about Savor, a craft beer and food “experience”. It’s a pretty cool even, happening in Washington D.C. in May. I’m attending with a few other members of our brewery and will be taking photos, shooting HD video, twittering and all of that. Liveblogging, if you will. It [...]

Guinness falls 725,000 signatures short

Guinness launched a funny ad campaign recently about trying to make St. Patrick’s Day an “official” US Holiday. They also have put up website about it at proposition317.com. The aim of the site was to get 1 million digital signatures from people supporting their proposition by midnight last night. Guinness only ended up with about [...]

Flying Dog Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale rolls off the bottling line

I’m pleased to let my readers know that our updated labels for Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale have started rolling off the bottling line here in Denver. Today I took photographs of the aforementioned bottles. And they’re turning out pretty decently. I’m going to add some sweat to these images, hopefully. Fake sweat, even! But [...]
