Flying Dog Week

The Cluny, in Newcastle’s Ouseburn Valley, has announced its very special Flying Dog Week, which will see three extremely rare beers from the Maryland-based brewery available for customers to try. Taking place between the 6^th and 12^th May, Flying Dog Week will see a single keg (just 30 litres!) of each of El Dorado Single Hop Imperial IPA, Chipotle Dark Ale and Lucky SOB Irish Red Ale available on draught. But ale fans should act quickly – these beers are so rare that when they’re gone, they’re gone for good! And if the prospect of supping some highly sought-after tipples is not quite enough, punters also have the chance to win some great prizes! With every purchase of a Flying Dog product, customers will be entered into a raffle, with a chance to win Flying Dog merchandise, with prizes including t-shirts, caps, banners, posters, stickers and branded glassware. Cluny manager Julian Ive said: “Ever since we started stocking Flying Dog Ales, they’ve been really popular with customers, and they always ask when we are getting more in. Well the time is now, and these really rare beers are something extra special for fans of good ale to try out.” On top of all this extra fun, The Cluny will also have at least 10 different Flying Dog bottles available, as well as our regular Doggie Style and a guest keg of Underdog Atlantic Lager on draught. For more information, please contact Cluny manager Julian Ive on 0191 230 4474, or via [email protected].

El Dorado Single Hop Imperial IPA (10%) “El Dorado. The golden one. The ultimate prize legions spend their lives seeking. Only a few acres of El Dorado hops were harvested this year. When our brewers came across this small bounty, they knew the search was over. With overwhelming citrus aroma, sharp hop bitterness, and a crisp, dry finish, our Single Hop Imperial IPA is your chance to enjoy the prize.” Speciality Malts: Rye, Cara-Pils, Biscuit Hops: Strictly El Dorado Chipotle Dark Ale (8%) “Our Chipotle Dark Ales begins with aromas of smoke and pepper. Dark chocolate sweetness greets the palate, but is quickly overcome by smoke, spice, roast, and citrus hop notes. It finishes with a peppery spice and subtle lingering heat that builds with each sip.” Speciality Malts: Chocolate, Extra Special (Caramel/Roasted Malt hybrid), Cara-Pils Hops: Warrior, Centennial Speciality Ingredients: Old Bay Seasoning Lucky SOB Irish Red Ale (5.5%) “While karma’s biting you in the ass, it’s kissing his. A profit of prosperity, he’s the guy you love to hate. And just when you think his fate’s on the brink, that SOB’s life falls right back into place. Brewed with real four-leaf clovers, our Lucky SOB Irish Red was made for those of us who curse those blessed SOBs. It pours a rich ruby hue and has notes of toast, caramel, and subtle citrus hop bitterness.” Speciality Malts: Irish Pale Ale, Crystal Hops: Galaxy Falconer’s Flight Speciality Ingredients: Four-Leaf Clovers
