Flying Dog Brewery Unleashes Gonzo Imperial Porter

June 12th, 2005

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity but they’ve always worked for me.
- Hunter S. Thompson

The Flying Dog Brewery in Aspen, Colorado, is unleashing a new beer in early June called Gonzo Imperial Porter in a unique illustrated four pack to honor the memory of Hunter S. Thompson, according to this announcement released on the brewery Web site.

A limited edition, 750 ml bottle will also be available from the brewery’s tasting room. The first 100 of will be signed by artists Ralph Steadman.

“We had to do something to honor our friend and co-conspirator Dr. Gonzo and last time we checked the sign out front said brewery, so it seemed only right to unleash a tribute beer,” they say. “Gonzo energy has been racing around the brewery like a three-legged dog on acid for over ten years now.

“Like Hunter this beer is deep and complex. Gonzo Imperial Porter has been brewed with black, chocolate and crystal malts, and hopped with Millennium and Cascades. This is a turbo charged version of the Road Dog and at 9.5% ABV it will bite you in the ass if you don’t show it the proper respect.”

Mmmm. Don’t know about y’all, but here at The Locust Fork, we can’t wait.
