Bucket list beer going on sale

Bucket list beer going on sale

For those of you fortunate enough to be in Las Vegas on Halloween night, you can get one of the best beers ever made.

You know I don’t mince words and if a beer sucks, well, I will say so, but this is a must have beer. I mean it sincerely, it is a bucket list beer for beer enthusiasts, and if you miss it, you will never get another chance.

What beer is it? Well it is Flying Dog Brewery Gonzo Imperial Porter. This beer was made in honor of the death of Hunter S. Thompson, the famous author know for his book, “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” among others.

Thompson died on February 20, 2005, and this last remaining cask (that we know of), has been sitting in the cooler at the Freakin Frog ever since.

Gonzo is leaving Las Vegas and the planet on October 31, 2012. I can almost guarantee that there won’t be any left at the end of the night.

The Freakin Frog will be show “Leaving Las Vegas” and “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” as an homage to the great American writer. Costume party and prizes are included so come in costume and be thirsty my friends.

I will be there as well, so if you want to talk beer, just ask for me. I will be glad to discuss Gonzo, or any other beer you want to talk about!
