Beer of the week: Raging Bitch by Flying Dog

19 August 2010

William France Two unpleasant words culminate in one awesome beer. Raging Bitch is Flying Dog’s 20th anniversary celebration brew, putting years of extensive experimentation into a one bottle. Created at the label’s Maryland-based brewery it’s part of the American race to create ultra-hopped beers and Raging Bitch, combines that endeavour with finesse. Using Belgian-style El Diablo yeast to create the distinctive sweet and sour Abbey beer flavour, the combination of hop and sweet yeast work together really well and would team excellently with spicy food. A final note however: Raging Bitch is a tipple to be enjoyed in moderation as it packs a hefty 8.3%.
