Flying Dog Ales is crafting a limited-edition beer, Gonzo Imperial Porter,<\/a> as a tribute to the late Hunter S. Thompson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gonzo Imperial Porter will be released in early June in a unique Gonzo illustrated four pack. A limited edition, 750ml bottle will also be available from the brewery’s tasting room – the first 100 of these will be signed by Ralph Steadman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like Hunter this beer is deep and complex. Gonzo Imperial Porter has been brewed with black, chocolate and crystal malts, and hopped with Millennium and Cascades. This is a turbo charged version of the Road Dog and at 9.5% ABV it will bite you in the ass if you don’t show it the proper respect.<\/p>\n

$1 from each case sold and $10 from each of the signed Steadman bottles will go towards building the Gonzo Memorial Fist<\/a> in Aspen. The 150 foot stone column complete with a giant red fist at its summit will tower above Hunter\u2019s Owl Farm Estate for all eternity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t usually like Porters, but I’d definitely like to lift a glass of this one to Hunter Thompson.<\/p>\n
