Flying Dog is a unique brand of beer brewed in the frosty New England town of Frederick, Maryland. They're easily recognizable by their unique branding, with artwork from Ralph Steadman (of Hunter S. Thompson/Gonzo fame) and fantastic beer names such as Raging Bitch, Horn Dog, Gonzo Imperial Porter, and K-9 Cruiser Winter Ale. This review is for Double Dog Pale Ale.

Appearance: Straight from the bottle it comes out with a rich coppery color and a medium sized head, about two fingers tall. The foam is a strong beige color that lasts quite awhile, especially considering that it's 11.5 ABV. 

Aroma: It's strong, very strong. Initially it's a strong hops smell with a background tinge of sweet malt. It levels off into an aromatic pine scent. There's a bit of an alcohol smell at the beginning that you don't get with most beers, again due to the unusually high alcohol content. 

Taste: It's a great blend of hops and malt, but the sweet side overtakes the more bitter hops flavor a little bit. This is a thick beer; every sip is a mouthful. It's creamy and warm and even though you can smell the alcohol you don't really taste it. This means that you can get hit pretty hard after only a few beers, because it tastes like you're only drinking a normal 5 or 6 percent brew. 

Overall: This is an amazingly tasty beer with a strong kick. You don't feel the buzz coming on until it's right on top of you, so it's best to take it slow. They use Columbus, Warrior, and Cascade hops and an ale yeast, so the end result really strong bodied. I would recommend drinking Double Dog Pale Ale along with some food because it really compliments a spicy meal. My final thoughts on this beer are that it's an excellent deal with an exceptional taste. I have trouble finding this in my area sometimes, but if you live in the Northeast it should be available at any wine and beer store. I would definitely buy it again.

Flip cup is a game of wits, dexterity, and sheer, dumb luck. To be played according to worldwide official rules, you will need 6 players per team. Anything above 4 however can still work. Here's how you play:

Equipment

12 plastic cups (red SoHo cups are the best)

a table

beer

To start with, line all six cups along one edge of the table, evenly spaced. Do the same for the other team. One man (or manly woman) per cup.

Fill each cup with an even amount of beer. There's no real set amount really, so a good rule of thumb is to distribute two beers per team evenly among the cups.

Have all your team members line up at the table in front of a cup. Designate which side will be the starters and which side will be the anchors.

The two opposing “starter” players will be the first to play. Follow the “Gentleman's Start” rules – play begins once the two starting players tap cups with each other, and then tap the table.

Once play begins, the two starting players chug their beer, place it face up over the edge of the table, and then tap the bottom up, making it flip over and land face down. Once the first player manages to make the cup land correctly, the second player drinks and does the same, and on down the line.

The objective of flip cup is to finish all your beer before the other team. Remember, this is a RACE, so speed is essential. If you're the weak link who takes 12 tries to flip his cup over, you're most likely going to verbally abused, kicked off the team, and mauled by hungry bears on your way home.

One fun (and quick) variation of the game is known as Jungle Flip Cup. In this style, everyone goes at the same time. Each player will commence with a “Gentleman's Start” with the player opposite, and then the first team to get all the cups flipped wins.

Flip cup is a blast, and you'll probably get really loud while you're playing, shouting insults at the other team or cheering on teammates. Have fun!

We've all seen that movie Edward Scissorhands, where Johnny Depperson has a bunch of sharp scissors instead of hands and spends all his time pruning shrubbery and styling old lady hair instead of murdering his evil creator. What if instead of scissors, he had two cold 40s strapped to his chubby hams? Well, it probably would have been a better movie!

In Edward 40 Hands, the rules are simple. Everybody duct tapes a 40oz bottle of beer or malt liquor to their hands, and can't take them off until the bottles are empty. And that's both bottles – you can't take the first one off if the second still has beer in it.

While the 40s are taped to your hands, you can do anything you want; whether you take a piss, smoke a cigarette, fondle your girlfriend, or put the finishing touches on your scale model of the Eiffel Tower made entirely out of toothpicks, it doesn't matter, as long as you can do it with two class bludgeons instead of hands.

This can get really fun (and awkward) when someone has to use the bathroom, prompting you to either drink a lot faster or do a no-hands wiggle dance to get into proper urinating position. There's no real punishment for the loser, except that he has to keep two giant bottles duct taped to his hands for longer than anyone else.

There's a fun variation to Edward 40 Hands that I used to play in college. We called it Edward Frosty Hands (eventually it became Edward Gangrene Hands).

To play, you follow the same rules as the normal game, but only two people play at once, and prior to duct taping the bottles onto your hands, you chill them to just above freezing.

This way, it's a race to get rid of the ice cold beer inside before your hands suffer permanent frost damage!

Spilling the beer results in a mistrial and you have to start over again with fresh bottles.

If you use some imagination, there's no limit to the types of games that you can play with some duct tape and a couple of 40oz bottles of beer.

MAN CAVE RULES

Only men have decorating authority.

If a man’s zipper is down, that’s his problem, you didn’t see anything!

No man shall ever turn down free beer... for any reason. Never. Ever. Seriously, Never.

If it itches, it will be scratched.

Never hesitate to reach for the last beverage or pizza, but not both. That’s just mean.

If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.

Hydrate with beer.

No Chick Flicks.

The remote must be operated by a man.

The Man Cave will never have flowers, unless it is a blooming cactus.

If a cave is so equipped, the toilet seat will always be in the up position.

Low cut blouses are looked down upon in this establishment.

What happens in the man cave stays in the man cave.

Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate     knowledge of the game and the ability to pick a Buffalo wing clean.

Grilling, regardless of weather, is always the first choice for cooking.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.

Friends don’t let friends wear speedos. Ever. Case closed.

If you’re going to be a bear, be a grizzly.

In a 6 person hot tub, there should be a maximum of 3 guys.

The "sniff test" shall tell us when to wash clothes.

Tucking in your shirt constitutes dressing up.

I'm in shape. -ROUND is a shape.

You have not made any mistake if you find that there are extra pieces after reassembling or assembling an object. In fact, you have just found a way to make that object more efficient.

Acceptable time when a man is allowed to cry: when a heroic dog dies to save his master. Or after being struck in the testicles with anything moving fast than 7 mph.

"When eating a banana, never look another man in the eyes and/or comment on the quality of the banana."

LADIES PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:

Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

Men are NOT mind readers.

Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

Crying is blackmail.

Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one! Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have NO idea what mauve is.

If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really!

Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or fishing.

You have enough clothes.

You have too many shoes.

Samuel Adams® Noble Pils™ is, as the label states, very unique in the fact that it is brewed with all 5 Noble Hops; “the term Noble Hops traditionally refers to the four varieties of hop which are low in bitterness and high in aroma.” (Wikia, 2010) These European Hops are named for the cities from which they originally were cultivated, much like that of wine grapes, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, but I digress. The hops are Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Tetnanger, Spalter, and Saaz. The Saaz hop is Bohemian; the other three are German as one might expect. (Wikia, 2010) These are the foundation of hops across the board. In a sense, these are the direct ancestors of the Adam and Eve of “hop-dom”. Fun fact: Hops are a dioecious relative to Cannabis Sativa, (Bella, 2009) meaning that hops are related at the genus level to marijuana.
