WHO\u2019S UP<\/b><\/p>\n

Flying Dog Brewery, 4607 Wedgewood Blvd, Frederick<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

CHRIS MAKES COLIN DRINK\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Guava Juice IPA<\/div>\n
Double Dead Rise Summer Ale<\/div>\n
House Rules Extra Pale Ale<\/div>\n
Road Dog Porter<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

WHY?<\/b><\/p>\n

This is the seventh installment of \u201cChris Makes Colin Drink\u201d and I know, without reserve, that you already knew that. In any case, if we are to go to area breweries, it kind of amazes me that it took us six columns before we got to what has to be Frederick\u2019s premiere craft brewery, right? People from all around the world go to Flying Dog. And yet it took us about six months to make it there. I blame Chris.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

HOW MUCH DID I WANT TO TRY ANY OF THESE BEERS?<\/b><\/p>\n

I really, really wanted a beer. The thing that I\u2019m realizing about these trips, however, is that tasting flights kind of suck. And if you split them with another person \u2026 well they REALLY suck. Why? Because I want to drink, damn it! I don\u2019t want to have a \u201ctaste\u201d and then go back for more, only to know I\u2019m half-kissing Chris with the way he slobbers all over the glasses.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

THE VIBE<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Flying Dog. You know the vibe already, don\u2019t you? Modern. Industrial. Wooden. That chalkboard where someone is trying to be clever about who\u2019s cool and who\u2019s not. Ralph Steadman art. Popular music that could be described as nostalgic playing in an ironic manner over the speakers. Or hipster music that could be described as modern playing in a not-as-obvious ironic manner over the speakers. It\u2019s Flying Dog, man. You know.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

THE BEST THING TO COME OUT OF THIS MESS<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s dark,\u201d Chris told me about the Road Dog Porter. \u201cLike your soul.\u201d I don\u2019t think this is the first time that quote has been used in this column. And this only the seventh installment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"NOW, ABOUT THE BEER \u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. If I\u2019m being honest \u2014 and that\u2019s my job, isn\u2019t it?! \u2014 then I\u2019d have to say that this was probably the most disappointing outing we\u2019ve had thus far. We grabbed only four beers and one of them amounted to little more than a canister of Old Bay Hot with a dash of alcohol in it. Chris, though \u2014 he loves that House Rules, man. In fact, he loves it so much, he said, \u201cyou are objectively wrong if you don\u2019t like it.\u201d True love, indeed. As far as I\u2019m concerned, though, I\u2019m getting awfully tired of whatever the hell guava is. I feel like we\u2019re three months away from Natty Both Guava, in which case we\u2019ll know we have about six more weeks of drinkable beer before the entire industry collapses on itself.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

WILL WE BE GOING BACK?<\/b><\/p>\n

I would imagine we will be going back eventually. Flying Dog does a lot of neat things and I personally love The Fear. Here\u2019s hoping nobody is toying with the idea of Triple Dead Rise Fear. In that case, I\u2019d be left with no other option than a Natty Both Guava.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
