I watched a fantastic documentary at our local "worth a damn" theater this weekend about the late Hunter S. Thompson. I found it to be a great portrayal of a man who had a knack for telling it (mostly) like it was and living life on his own terms.

I had known that there was a connection between Flying Dog beer and Hunter S. Thompson, but the movie revealed that Flying Dog's owner/founder George Stranahan and Thompson were great friends for much of their lives. This is the same Stranahan that makes fine Colorado whiskey and sends it out to mtn bike races. So next time you find yourself sipping on some Stranahan's whiskey, consider the heritage of your beverage and pour yourself another.
