Dead Rise, the wildly popular Maryland-style beer crafted by Frederick’s Flying Dog Brewery and brewed with Old Bay seasoning, is back for its fifth year in a limited release. And you guys, it’s even better and more Maryland-y than before.
Originally created as a blonde ale, Flying Dog Brewery gave Dead Rise a new look, a new recipe, and even MOAR Old Bay to celebrate its fifth anniversary.
There’s been Old Bay beer, Old Bay crabcakes, Old Bay ice cream, and Old Bay cheese (at least at my local farmer’s market).
And today, McCormick, the company behind the wildly popular Maryland spice, is releasing its newest limited-edition creation: Old Bay Hot Sauce.
I am a proud Marylander, and a bunch of you nerds are too. I can’t help but write about this.
This morning, my brother forwarded me an email from Under Armour promoting a new t-shirt. It’s amazing. It’s one of those ideas that is so simple and obvious you can’t believe no one has done it before. Under Armour illustrated a can of Old Bay with the text “Tis The Seasoning.” Old Bay, which celebrated its 75th anniversary this year, is about as synonymous with Marylanders as blue crabs are.
