You posted a very good
You posted a very good question concerning "more flavorful flagship". Bell's Amber is what they consider the flagship. Most time flagships do not want to step on anybody's toes. Three Floyd's does not care. They are playing rugby, baby. BTW, AK is incredible on draft. Never had it via firkin. I drink 2 pints of AK draft every single day.

Now I will listen to the rest of your show.
Bells Amber
Ah, yes, that is the flagship for bells, thanks much.
Russian River Flagship
This one is an interesting question. I wouldn't say Blind Pig but I think it would be a toss up between Pliny the Elder and Damnation. If you're in CA, Damnation is the only one that is bottled year round for their beer store accounts. However, with Pliny's popular following it's one of those that basically has to be on tap at all times at their brewpub and supplied with a pretty good regularity (almost constantly) to their draft accounts all over the state. With all that being said, I would have to say that now with Pliny being bottled within the next month, Pliny the Elder will become the flagship beer. Before I would have had to say Damnation.
