Laughing Dog Brewing

I had a couple of college buddies call me a few nights ago to rub in my face the fact that they had just finished a sampler tray of beers from Laughing Dog Brewing out of Sandpoint, ID and were now on their way to playing a friendly game of golf somewhere near Couer D'alene, ID.  I got to thinking about the creation of beer at Laughing Dog....  Fred Colby- Master hop manipulator? Yes.  Former electrical engineer? Yes.  Craft beer artist? Certainly.  Any craft brewer that has the guts to brew a 120IBU Imperial IPA before they were on the map or even remotely popular has to be a special guy. I love this brewery, I love their entire team from head brewer to their sales people.  Great people making great beer in the country we love.
