Maybe you’re familiar with the Flying Dog Litter of Ales, and maybe you aren’t. This is a line of beer out of Colorado known for their cheeky titles, like In Heat Wheat, Doggie Style (Pale), Tire Biter (Golden), Old Sratch Lager, and so forth. I know I’m usually against silly names, but I think beer and hot sauce are exempt from this dogma. Besides, these bastards make crazy good beer.

  So they have a special brew out now, called Gonzo Imperial Porter, a tribute to the late, sometimes great, but always awful Hunter S. Thompson(a.k.a. Gonzo). The Denver brewery is, afterall, a namesake of one of Hunter’s acid trip visions.

$1 for every case goes towards his monument fund. A good chunk of change has already kick-started the fund. When all is said and done, a 150 foot tall concrete arm, topped with a red fist, will sit on Gonzo’s Owl Farm estate in Aspen, Colorado. I love it. I love it even more because you know the jet setters perched in their lifts will hate, hate, hate it.
