We’re closing in on summer, but there’s plenty of stuff to do this month before we head downa shore.

• Meet Joe Sixpack At The Brewery This Friday
• 12th Edition of the perfect summer beer – Farmhouse Summer Ale
• SAVOR: A Craft Beer and Food Experience
• No Tours May 24
• Garden State Brewers Guild Fest Tix Now ON Sale

MEET JOE SIXPACK AT THE BREWERY THIS FRIDAY
Philly’s own Joe Sixpack, aka Don Russell, will be live and in person at Flying Fish on Friday May 9 talking beer and signing copies of his new book “Philly Beer Guide.” In honor of his crossing the bridge into the wilds of New Jersey, we’ll have some two-year-old BigFish Barleywine on tap. We’ll also have the last 1/6 keg of Imperial Espresso Porter pouring plus your usual favorites. So come on by for a sample or two and talk beer with Don from 5-7pm.

12TH EDITION OF THE PERFECT SUMMER BEER – FARMHOUSE SUMMER ALE
Our Farmhouse Summer Ale should now be at your favorite retailer or tavern as your read this. The perfect summer beer, Farmhouse Ale is brewed with pale malt, a small percentage of wheat and single-hopped with imported Styrian Golding hops. It’s a tribute to the “everyday” Farmhouse beers of Belgium (but it’s not a Saison, no fruit, herbs or spices). A sour mash gives this beer its signature dryness and great drinkability. If you find a better summer beer, send us a case! The Farmhouse is also available in 1/6 and 1/2 kegs. If you don’t see it, ask your local retailer for it.

SAVOR: A CRAFT BEER AND FOOD EXPERIENCE
Flying Fish is proud to participate in the Brewers Association’s inaugural event – SAVOR: An American Craft Beer and Food Experience in Washington D.C, May 16-17, 2008. It’s an intimate setting, with 48 breweries from around the nation and only 700 tickets available per session. Flying Fish was only one of eight breweries chosen from the mid-Atlantic region. Along with fantastic beer and food pairings there will be opportunities to meet the brewers and owners of the participating breweries. Two educational salons will be available each session – guaranteed to deepen your appreciation and understanding of craft beer and food pairings. Tickets are on sale now–find out more at savorcraftbeer.com
