* UPCOMING EVENTS
****************************************************
* FINALLY AVAILABLE: THE RARE AND ELUSIVE BLACKFISH ALE
After a few limited runs as a cask-conditioned treat, the BlackFish Ale is
now out in general release. The idea for the beer came from an unknown, but
much appreciated bartender in Virginia who combined Flying Fish Extra Pale
Ale with Flying Fish Porter and christened it BlackFish.
After several inquiries from folks about the beer, we thought it was a great
idea. We didn't just mix two batches of beer, however. We tweaked our
recipies a bit and brewed up this special batch that has the robustness of
the porter with the drinkability of the Extra Pale. Available on draft only
throughout the season. Mini-kegs are available--if you have trouble locating
one, e-mail us at mini_me@flyingfish.com or give us a call @ 856-489-0061
* 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--this year in
a spiffy new box. Available now through early winter, you can get 6 bottles
of all 4 Flying Fish styles. Available in PA and in Central and South
Jersey at enlightened retailers. And if you don't see 'em, ask for 'em!
* AN AL-LURING FISHWEAR TREAT
You haven't seen it yet on those TV bass fishing shows, but just wait!
This hand-made spinning lure has a secret, but integral ingredient--a
genuine Flying Fish bottle cap. Even the wiliest fish will be overcome
with curiousity. Folks, this lure is "Guaranteed to Catch Fish." Of course,
if it doesn't the first time you use it, you now have a reason to go fishing
again. Also new in FishWear--lots of things you never knew you needed, but
now can't live without: Flying Fish boxer shorts, hair scrunchies, Belgian
style glasses and more.
