"Beer is proof that God
loves us and wants us to be happy."
- Benjamin Franklin
Lagunitas Brewing Co.
Petaluma, CA
$9.99/6 pk btl
From our earliest days
of striving to make consistently good beer, and
instead
making beer that ranged from vile, to barely
drinkable,
to wonderful, to elegant, to
questionable-at-best. From
being castigated by our West Marin neighbors to
finally
suffering an 'eviction' by our West Marin septic
system.
From landing in the welcoming arms of Petaluma,
and actually
getting our beer into bottles, onto the streets,
and into
the hands of sympathatic beer geeks, to steadily
losing
less money each month. From all this and more,
Lagunitas
Brewing Company is emerging as a battle-tested
brewery
capable of making great beer out of goat's milk,
brambles,
and asphalt on the surface of the Moon, if need
be.
As the poet
once
said, 'Where, but for the grace of God and the
kindness
of strangers, go I'. Where go we indeed,
whatever that
means.
