* EAT, DRINK AND BE HAPPY
The Italians have a saying that "no one ages when they're sitting at the
dinner table." With that thought in mind, this month we're hosting four,
count 'em, four different evenings featuring great food and great Flying
Fish beer:
--November 4: Dinner at the Varsity Inn, Westmont NJ, along with great
English and Belgian beers
--November 11: "Fish Meets Fish" gourmet dinner at Flying Fish Restaurant
in Chestnut Hill, PA
--November 17: "Everyman's Beer Dinner": Flying Fish beer and
quintessential tavern food at PJ McMenamin's, Philadelphia
--November 19: "New Jersey's Bounty" gourmet dinner at Inn at Sugar Hill,
Mays Landing, NJ
For more information see the events listing below or to see the menus,
visit our listings calendar at http://flyingfish.com/live.html
We hope to see you fat, happy, with a belly full of fine beer and looking
younger than ever at one or more of these special evenings.
* BELGIAN DUBBEL WINS TWO MEDALS AT REAL ALE FESTIVAL
The 3rd Annual Real Ale Festival in Chicago last month represented the
largest celebration of cask-conditioned beers outside of England. This
year, Flying Fish Belgian Abbey Dubbel took top honors in the Specialty
category for a cask-conditioned version of the Dubbel, as well as for the
bottled version. The judging panel was pretty impressive, made up of top
British and American brewers, nationally ranked beer judges, and top beer
writers.
Bottled and regular draft versions of our Dubbel are now available
year-round. Stay tuned to our e-mail newsletters for the next pouring of
the special cask-conditioned versions.
* FREEDOM FROM CHOICE: VARIETY CASES OUT FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Decisions, decisions, decisions. Well, we're trying to make things easier
by bringing out our Variety Case again for the holiday season. Available
now through early winter, you can get 6 bottles of all 4 Flying Fish styles.
In Northern New Jersey these cases are available exclusively through
Bottle King stores. In Central and South Jersey, you'll find them at
enlightened retailers. And if you don't see 'em, ask for 'em!
