E-Malt.com News article: USA, MD: Flying Dog launches Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout
Brewery news

Kujo, Flying Dog’s Imperial Coffee Stout, is hitting shelves and draft lines in the mid-Atlantic next week, The Full Pint reported on December, 7.

Once an experimental release named simply Coffee Stout, the brew has now found its spot in Flying Dog’s permanent seasonal rotation.

“The most exciting part of inaugurating a new beer is getting original art for it from Ralph Steadman,” VP of Marketing Ben Savage, said. “What he sent back was terrifyingly brilliant. You can feel the aggression coming off of it, which is perfect for such an intense beer.”

This 8.9% ABV brew is made with locally-roasted coffee. Flying Dog plans to release Kujo each winter.

“We like to say that Kujo is the savage spawn of two brewing worlds – coffee and beer – colliding,” Brewmaster and COO Matt Brophy said. “But in that collision, it’s important for us to maintain the balance between rich and roasted stout characteristics and the deep, dark coffee notes.”
