*  LOOK FOR FLYING FISH AT THE GREAT BRITISH BEER FESTIVAL

Out of approximately 20 U.S. breweries invited to pour draught beer at what
is arguably the world's best beer festival, names such as Sierra Nevada,
Deschutes and Grants are now joined by Flying Fish.  This prestigious
invitation makes us the region's first ever to be asked to present it's
wares.	And present we will:  Firkins (10.1 gallon kegs) of
cask-conditioned Porter and Farmhouse Summer Ale, as well as bottle
conditioned porter.  The Festival, held at Olympia Hall in London, August
3-7 is presented by CAMRA, long-time defender of real ale in England.  For
more information, check out http://www.camra.org.uk/

Head brewer Rick Atkins is a long-time loyal CAMRA member and previous
festival-goer.	Unfortunately, the festival comes at one of our busiest
times of the year, so while our beer will be having a great time in London,
we'll be working away in the brewery.  So if you do get there, have a
pint--or two--for us!

*  SUMMER READING WITH "BEST AMERICAN BEERS" AND MORE

A nifty little book just came out by beer writer Ben Myers called "Best
American Beers."  Flying Fish is in it (one of the youngest breweries to be
chosen), as is a thoughtful selection of excellent beers.  It's a great
reference to the good stuff out there.	It should be available at your
local bookstore or on any of the internet booksellers.
P.S.  Check out the back cover!

"Pentagram V" is a visually stunning book of work by the international
architectural/graphic/industrial design collaboration known as Pentagram.
These are the folks who took the fledgling Flying Fish Brewery on as a kind
of charity case and gave a visual look to our dream of a different kind of
brewery logo and image.   All the Flying Fish stuff is in there as well as
work for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, B&W Loudspeakers, Coca-Cola,
Swatch and a lot more.

*  YOU'LL BRAKE FOR THE NEW FLYING FISH TRUCKS

If you're travelling New Jersey's highways and byways between Trenton and
Cape May, be on the lookout for the world's largest bottle of Flying Fish.
This 23-foot beauty graces both sides of our South Jersey distributor's 12
bay delivery trucks.  In Northwest New Jersey, be on the lookout for the
Flying Fish van. Head over to http://flyingfish.com/trucks.html to see
pictures!
