The “Legend of the Flying Dog” would have you believe that the weird turn into professional brewers. You can learn all about it at the Brickskeller on Wednesday, when the Flying Dog Brewery brings its Ralph Steadman-illustrated labels to a beer tasting, just for you.
The Brickskeller, that one place in Dupont you always hear about with the 1,000-beer menu, sometimes has trouble keeping all of its ridiculously wide selection in stock. But there’s no need to worry about that tomorrow, at least with respect to Flying Dog beers. The tasting costs $35, and starts at 7PM.
The actual Flying Dog Brewery is located in Frederick, Maryland, so those lucky enough to have an actual functioning automobile should note that for the price of a $5 pint glass, you can get a free tasting. The tour itself is free!

Paraphrasing HST never fails.
Frederick, Maryland. Fredericksburg is in Virginia, where the only thing notable for flying was enough hot lead to teach the Army of the Potomac not to charge up a hill without cover against a fortified enemy position. Actually they had to do this several times because the A of the P were led by a possel o’ dumbshits.

And if you get bored, you can head over to Pizzeria Paradiso; better food, and usually actually has the beer you want!
Here’s the Brickskeller procedure:
1. Spend 10 minutes going though comically large beer list.
2. Get told they’re all out of the beer you spent 10 minutes picking.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 three or four times.
4. Give up and order a Yuengling.
