I enjoy strong, flavorful beers (like Belgian-style ales) and often have a hard time finding a beer I like on restaurant menus. Earlier this summer we went out for dinner and drinks with my husband’s work friends, and the only beer that sounded good was Raging Bitch from Flying Dog Brewery. I was slightly embarrassed to order a beer with such a crass name, but I gave in to my taste buds and gave it a try.I really enjoyed the flavor, and the 8.3% alcohol content meant that one beer was enough!
As my “usual” Dogfish Head Raison d’Etre got harder and harder to find, I started looking for Raging Bitch at stores. I was pleasantly surprised to find it at the grocery store, saving myself a separate trip to one of the wine store where I usually shop for beer.
I was even happier to find Raging Bitch at the baseball stadium. Sure, I usually pay $9 for a six-pack, but being able to enjoy a good beer during the game was worth it .
And, the beer went perfectly with the bratwurst and sauerkraut.
Where do you buy beer?
I haven't bought beer in eons but raging bitch? I'm in 🙂
Love that you dedicated a post to BEER!!! I love love love love Beer! I recently tried a Chocolate Double Stout….OH MAH GAH! Insane and so good! Thanks for posting and now I'm going to go be a Raging Bitch 🙂
Do you have Total Wine & More near you? They have an excellent choice of beer there, along with being able to create your own 6 pack. When you're in Richmond in November, give Capital Ale House a try.
I'm really hard to please when it comes to beer, mostly because i'm girly and prefer a hard apple sider or lemonade.
That sounds awesome! I ordered a Dumb Blonde recently, so there you go…

Love it! Maybe it's an inside joke with beer companies to see what we will/won't order. How does that focus group study work? 😉
Mmmmmm love Raging Bitch!
