Flying Dog celebrates Caddyshack’s 40th anniversary with pale ale inspired by Judge Smails and Ty Webb
'Caddyshack' and beer go together like Bill Murray and a camo bucket hat, which is to say pretty damn well. We've seen microbreweries like Altamont Beer Works tap hoppy tributes to the OG golf comedy before, but now the big, uh, dogs are stepping up, led by Maryland brewery Flying Dog, who have readied their new seasonal brew 'Night Putting' just in time for the film's 40th anniversary this summer.

A reimagining of the classic American pale ale, Night Putting—which takes its name from the lips of Ty Webb himself—is brewed with a blend of Simcoe and Centennial hops, which are then smoothed out with a hit of sweet oats and subtle malt. Clocking at 5.5% ABV, the beer is session-able but not laughably lightweight and comes packaged in 16 oz cans inspired by Judge Elihu Smails' infamous fedora. Unlike the hat, however, this can will actually loo..

Did you know: The Masters theme song actually has lyrics—and they’re just as you’d imagine them
The coronavirus pandemic has hit a giant pause button on fans being able to watch golf on TV, and in some cases, even kept people off courses. But while we hunker down and hope for a speedy return to normalcy, we can also use this time as an opportunity to learn more about the game we love. Here’s our latest installment of “Did you know?”
The Masters theme song has become the unofficial theme song of spring, and for good reason. It’s a delicate, syrupy melody that evokes uplifting vibes, and has yet to be proven to cause insanity despite being looped over and over (and over) again during CBS’ broadcast of the tournament. Impressive, really. Here, see for yourself by watching this HOUR-long loop of it:
So who is the mastermind (see what I did there?) behind this treacly tune? Dave Loggins, a singer-songwriter who is a third cousin of Kenny Loggins, the man behind the “Caddyshack” theme song and other hits. Those Loggins family barbecues must have been lit. If I had to rank the Loggins c..
