GABF Zane Lamprey: Notable Drunk #2


What makes someone a notable drunk in our eyes? Well, if you're Zane Lamprey, it's because you get paid to fly to exotic locales, meet new and interesting people from different cultures, and ultimately get drunk with those people. Zane, the host of Three Sheets (which up until Dec 2008 has been aired on the MojoHD channel), was gracious enough to grant us an interview while we were at the Great American Beer Fest. He was every bit as nice as you'd imagine from watching him on the television, but we caught him early, so he wasn't drunk yet. But Zane's reputation precedes him.

Thanks, Zane!

GABF 2008: Notable Drunk #1


GABF - The Great American Beer Festival. Close to 2000 beers from 400 breweries. And 40,000 people drinking those beers over 4 sessions. The people are ridiculous sometimes.

Just like Notable Drunk #1.

You may remember this dude's racket from a recent feature-length film, but then again... his impression isn't really spot-on, but we loved his dedication to the role.

More footage from the 2007 GABF. Flying Dog picked up a Bronze medal in the American Style Amber Lager category at the 2007 Great American Beer Festival. Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper imparted some wisdom on the crowd, and we even met "The Beer Man". All in all, a very successful weekend. See you at next year's GABF!

ZOMBIE DANCE PARTY

The Bad Art For Bad People party came to GABF this year, and it was called The Zombie Dance Party. There was some great art for sale, burlesque, and live music. Did we mention that there was plenty of Flying Dog beer? Because there was.

Sure, there are 400+ breweries pimping 1800 beers at the 2007 Great American Beer Festival, but we at Flying Dog Brewery are taking it up a notch with our custom designed Plinko board. Even with Bob Barker retired from "The Price is Right", Plinko is near and dear to all humans, transcending class systems.

WILD DOG RELEASE PARTY

We had a release party at the Blake Street Tavern for our new Wild Dog release, an Open Source Doppelbock. Also sampled were some experimental Canis Major beers, such as a Barrel-Aged Horn Dog Barley Wine and Gonzo Imperial Porter with Brettanomyces (google it). We met up with Stan Hieronymous - a fantastic beer writer - and Justin Davis, who has a weekly podcast about Craft Beer (davisondraft.com).
