*  NOW YOU CAN FIND US IN MARYLAND AND DC!

In our first geographic expansion in a while, we've just starting shipping
beer to Maryland and Washington, DC.  What's available?  All four styles in
the bottle (Extra Pale, ESB, Porter, Abbey Dubbel) and Extra Pale and ESB
on draft for starters.	Where's it available?  We have no idea, but will in
a couple of weeks.  Meanwhile, if you don't see it at your local
establishment, please ask.  If you'd like to recommend a bar, restaurant,
or package store,  e-mail us at tips@flyingfish.com

And, to make it worth your typing time, we'll randomly select a couple of
e-mail senders to receive a Flying Fish t-shirt!


*  STILL TIME TO TAKE A BASEBALL BUS TRIP WITH FLYING FISH (June 9 ticket
deadline)

There are still some tickets left for our Saturday, June 19,  bus trip to
see the Atlantic City Surf professional baseball team take on the Lehigh
Valley Diamondbacks. The Surf, last year's Eastern league champs, are
probably best-known for having the good taste to put Flying Fish on draft
in the stadium.

Buses leave from two locations: KT's Pub in Riverside, NJ and PJ
McMenniman's on Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia. The all-inclusive price
includes snacks and Flying Fish at the bars before the trip,
transportation, reserved box seat ticket, and free hot dog and soda at the
game--and even a ride back! Kids are welcome.

Contact either KT's (609-764-2784) or PJ McMenniman's (215-247-9920) for
specifics on times, details, etc.

******Reservations must be made by June 9!******

To find out more about the Surf, call them at 609-344-SURF or head over to

*  NO TOURS JUNE 26:  NJ  CRAFT BREWERS GUILD FESTIVAL

We'll be closed for tours on June 26.  Come visit us at the 3rd Annual
Garden State Craft Brewers Guild Festival taking place noon -5 pm at
historic Waterloo Village in Stanhope, NJ.  The site, in the Northwest
corner of the state, was chosen because it's equally inconvenient for
everyone in the state to get to.  Actually, it's a beautifully restored
farmstead with lots of room to stretch out.  Beers from 13 NJ breweries,
food and lots of music.  Last year's event sold out so don't put off
getting tickets.  For more information, check out http://njbeer.org


*  BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR YOUR INVITATION

We'll be hosting another private, e-mail list only tasting at the brewery
on a Friday afternoon sometime in the very near future.  This time, we'll
be introduing the world's largest bottle of Flying Fish!  Watch your e-mail
box for your invitation.
