Why Raging Bitch is the Best Beer for Carrie Nation
In Patrick's Irish Pub, located in downtown Frederick, MD, there's a little sign on the bar that reads, "All Nations Welcome But Carrie."
That sign is referring to Carrie Nation, the infamous member of the "temperance movement," a group that opposed (that's right, opposed) alcohol in pre-Prohibition America.
Carrie, who was notorious for attacking bars with a hatchet (yes, a hatchet), once described herself as "a bulldog running along at the feet of Jesus, barking at what He doesn't like." If you want to learn more about this bulldog, check out the Wikipedia article on Carrie.
About 120 years later, Flying Dog releases Raging Bitch. And we think it's the perfect beer for Carrie. But we want you to tell us why.
