Flying Dog's Newest Craft Brew Ditches Alcohol for Weed

As attempts by Big Alcohol to thwart widespread cannabis legalization have continued to fail, major alcohol companies and distributors have decided that they might as well try to grab their piece of the marijuana market share by developing infused products of their own.  

But even smaller craft breweries are chomping at the bit to get in on the weed boom. Flying Dog Brewery, based in Maryland, tentatively entered into a partnership with Green Leaf Medical Cannabis to develop their new Hop Chronic IPA, which will be brewed with THC rather than alcohol. While Maryland state cannabis regulators must still approve production of the new infused beverage, there are plenty of similar products popping up from other breweries around the country and politicians won’t be able to hold them back for too long.
