Welcome to FlyingFishMail #19  February 1998

In this issue. . .in honor of the shortest month of the year, this will be
our shortest newsletter of the year.  We do have a lot of events going on
this month so stop on by and check them out.

*  BEER AND CHOCOLATE
*  NEW, NEW, NEW IN MARCH
*  UPCOMING FLYING FISH EVENTS

*  BEER AND CHOCOLATE

With Valentine's Day right around the corner don't forget to pick up
something nice for your sweetie--like a big box of Flying Fish Porter along
with those usual chocolates.  We've always recommended porter as a beer
that goes great with dessert.  The Belgian malts add interesting chocolate
and coffee notes that compliment a range of sweets.

There's also a theory that the first bite of chocolate is the best because
your palate is fresh.  The fats in the chocolate then coat your tongue so
that subsequent bites are not as flavorful.  Well, the theory goes, the
alcohol in beer breaks down the fats and cleanses your palate so that every
bite tastes as good as the first one.  Worth conducting some home
experimentation, don't you think?

*  NEW, NEW, NEW IN MARCH

Next month we'll let you know more about our new beer (Belgian Grand Cru),
new brewing tanks, special cask-conditioned beer events, new areas of
distribution, new Flying Fish Torpedo mini-kegs and lots of promo
goings-on.  Stay tuned.
