There is no founding story quite like Flying Dog's. Named after a Pakistani oil painting seen after a doomed attempt to climb K2, founded with the help of gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson, and growing out of a brewpub to become one of Colorado's biggest craft brewers. Since then they have courted controversy with a mix of oddly named beers and wild label designs, but in the bottle has always been quality beers that are often hoppy as hell, or dark as sin and rammed with flavour.
