* INTRODUCING ALEXANDER JACKSON ATKINS 12.2.98
We just found out this morning that head brewer Rick Atkins and his wife
Ana successfully premiered their second Fishlet: Alexander Jackson Atkins
entered the scene at 4:30 am. Everyone is happy and doing well--especially
those at the brewery who got out of a double bottling run today!
* BEST FISHES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
As a small company, we really appreciate each and every one of you folks
who have helped us continue to grow. So we'd like to close out 1998 by
thanking you for your support of the beer, making our events as fun as they
are, stopping by for tours, and for sending great e-mail, by wishing you the
best of the season and a prosperous--and Fish-filled New Year!
* HOP-PHISH INDIA PALE OUT AND ABOUT
At the request of you hopheads, we produced this I.P.A. with a deep golden
color, plenty of hop bitterness balanced by malt sweetness. Because of the
extensive dry hopping, there's a spicy, fruity hop finish. Lightly
filtered to maintain the appropriate body and flavor, the HopPhish is then
keg conditioned for extra character. The beer features a combination of 5
malts plus a percent or two of wheat for an extra creamy head. The
HopPhish also uses five hop varieties and has also been dry-hopped for
three weeks with Mt. Hood and Ahtanum leaf hops. Total aging time has been
five weeks, not counting keg conditioning time.
This most-interesting winter beer will be available in draft only in 1/2
kegs and the torpedo mini-kegs
* 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!
* FISHWEAR GIFTS MAKE A FOR COOL YULE
>From our Shameless Merchandising Dept:
Avoid the hoi polloi at the mall and stop by the FishWear Superstore where
you'll find an exquisite selection of everything you'll ever need.
Actually, we just got in some really nice embroidered denim shirts and mock
turtlenecks that could help you be voted MDPTMUTM (Most Desirable Person
To Meet Under the Mistletoe). Check out

* HELP SUPPORT THE FISH WITH YOUR E-MAIL
One thing we've learned is that a request from a real paying consumer such
as yourself carries significant weight with beer sellers. A lot of you
probably know we've been a featured beer at the Charlie Brown's restaurants
for the last year or so. They've done a great job expanding their beer
menus and bringing good beer like Flying Fish to an audience that might not
have been exposed to it before. Unfortunately, we're not on their Winter
menu and several people have e-mailed asking how that can be addressed.
Well, we'd really appreciate if you could take a minute to e-mail the folks
who make the decisions, letting them know that you're one of those people
who will pay good money for good beer. Send your e-mail to:
MARKETING@CHARLIEBROWNS.COM
Thanks!
