Flying Dog Brewery Unleashes Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout <\/strong><\/p>\n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 7, 2011<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cEnjoy your new pet!\u201d Ralph Steadman exclaimed as he unleashed new art on the world. <\/p>\n

That pet is Kujo, Flying Dog\u2019s Imperial Coffee Stout, which is hitting shelves and draft lines in the mid-Atlantic next week. Once an experimental release named simply Coffee Stout, the brew has now found its spot in Flying Dog\u2019s permanent seasonal rotation. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe most exciting part of inaugurating a new beer is getting original art for it from Ralph Steadman,\u201d VP of Marketing Ben Savage, said. \u201cWhat he sent back was terrifyingly brilliant. You can feel the aggression coming off of it, which is perfect for such an intense beer.\u201d<\/p>\n

This 8.9% ABV brew is made with locally-roasted coffee from Black Dog out of Summit Point, West Virginia. Flying Dog plans to release Kujo each winter. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe like to say that Kujo is the savage spawn of two brewing worlds \u2013 coffee and beer \u2013 colliding,\u201d Brewmaster and COO Matt Brophy said. \u201cBut in that collision, it\u2019s important for us to maintain the balance between rich and roasted stout characteristics and the deep, dark coffee notes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flying Dog has the following launch parties planned for Kujo:<\/p>\n

Frederick Wine House in Frederick, MD

\n\u2022\tFeaturing small-plate food pairings from Roasthouse Pub and The Perfect Truffle<\/p>\n
