As one of the fastest-growing regional craft breweries in the mid-Atlantic, Flying Dog has been brewing world-class beer that pushes the confines of traditional styles for almost 25 years. Our beer attracts everyone from craft beer connoisseurs to those just catching the wave with up to 20 styles available at any given time. Our Gonzo ties are unmistakable, drawing inspiration from Hunter S. Thompson’s relentless truth seeking and Ralph Steadman’s provocative drawings. Flying Dog currently ranks 33 in beer production out of the nearly 3,000 existing craft breweries in the United States.
