F.U. Sandy Kegs at South Jersey Bars Benefit Relief Effort

Somerdale-based Flying Fish Brewing Company releases its special Hurricane Sandy brew, with proceeds going to relief efforts.

Time for a pint: Eighty-six and a half kegs of a special brew created by Somerdale-based Flying Fish Brewing Co. are flowing from local taps. 

The proceeds will go to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. 

Called FU Sandy (the "FU" stands for "Forever Unloved," of course), the hybrid white ale was made in part as a fundraiser for New Jersey storm relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy devastation. Flying Fish is hoping to raise $50,000 from the beer and merchandise sales.

Flying Fish first announced FU Sandy on Dec. 20, and now the list of where the beer is on tap is finalized, with places such as The Pour House and PJ Whelihans in Westmont making the list in South Jersey.

Flying Fish, which was founded in Cherry Hill and now brews in Somerdale, is Jersey through and through, creating several beers based around the New Jersey Turnpike exits, each with a nod toward the history of the area.

If you are hoping for a six pack, FU Sandy is only available on draft at a long list of places, many of which will be hosting "tapping parties" beginning Feb. 16. (Those marked with an asterisk on the list below.)

The brewer described the ale contents this way: "brewed with a 50/50 blend of Two Row Pale Malt and American White Wheat. It is hopped with experimental hop ADHA 483, donated by the American Dwarf Hop Association, which has never been used in a beer before this one. Muller and Head Brewer Casey Hughes expect a beautiful, tropical nose of mangoes and guavas that will accentuate the beer’s soft mouth feel and contribute to a truly one-of-a-kind ale."

Where to grab a pint of FU Sandy this weekend? Here are the locations as of now. The list will be updated on Flying Fish's website, here.
