Bitchin' Beer

 Raging Bitch: Belgian-Style India Pale Ale

Specs:
  • price: $8.49 six-pack
  • ABV: 8.3%
  • ingredients: Belgian yeast (sweeter), Amarillo hops (a bitter twist)
  • Process: dry hopping gives the cloudy Belgian appearance a surprising bitterness

 You'll find Flying Dog Beers at just about any grocery store. Most likely the 'Classic Pale Ale'. I suppose the CPA was the easiest to market because of it's generic American Pale Ale hops and moderate alcohol content (5.5% ABV). I'm not a fan, even the acronym CPA makes me uncomfortable. If I want a pale ale, it's gonna be an IPA. But I digress. Flying Dog had been around for 20 years come September 25th 2009, so how does an edgy microbrewery with a Gonzo-guise celebrate? By releasing the 'Raging Bitch' Belgian-Style India Pale Ale to tear up the shelves of beer joints across the country. Raging Bitch represents the blending of classically different styles of brewing, which is great because we all know separate but equal is never as good. At 8.3% and $8.49 at Phil's Gas Station a few blocks from me, cheers to you Flying Dog for making me wanna bring Raging Bitches with me everywhere I go. Raging Bitch official page
