    Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA

    Name – Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA
    Country – United States
    Type – American IPA

    Appearance – A clear amber color but the head was very minimal on both bottles that I poured.

    Smell – Mildly hoppy smell.

    Taste – It has a floral hoppyness to it with some slightly sweet malts.  I would say caramel tasting with them.

    I love the Flying Dog names and label designs.  They are just odd to say the least.  Plus an endorsement from the late Hunter S. Thompson doesn’t hurt either.  This was a very smooth IPA, not bitter in the slightest.  While I didn’t see much that made it one of the best IPAs it is a very solid one as there really wasn’t anything wrong with it other than I would say the lack of a head.  I would definitely have this one again.

    Overall Grade – B-

    Brewtopia Festival

    So this Saturday in Delray Beach, FL is the first annual Brewtopia Festival at the Morikami Park.  It will feature over 100 different beers from micro, craft and imports.  From what I hear this event is going all out.  Who could think of a more beautiful location than to drink beer in an amazing Japanese botanical garden.

    Tickets to the event are $25 in advance or $30 at the door.  You can purchase advance tickets at Case and Keg in Boca Raton.  Here is their address.
    1501 NW 2ND AVE.
    BOCA RATON, FL. 33432
    561-368-7164

    Food and entertainment will be provided as well at the event along with the amazing selection of brews.  I hope to be there if I can shake this bug I’m getting over quick enough and then have a review of it for you all that can not make it.

    Here are the full details.
