Lagunitas Brewing Company has been one of my favorite breweries for quite some time now and I'm pretty open to all of their brews. Over time I started to notice stoner-esque themes weaved into their line of beers. First there was the release of Lagunitas Hairy Eyeball which is a strong ale donning a bloodshot eyeball on the label. I've tried it and was pretty impressed by the taste and very pleased with the high alcohol content. The second beer that got my attention was the release of Lagunitas "Censored" or "Kronik" red ale. The beer was originally named "Kronik", but later they were forced to change the name. I've never had it. I then recalled an article I read before about their brewery being shut down because suspicion of people selling weed out of the brewery. They maintained that they only smoked there (California) and refused the lure of sales by narcs. Anyway, their brewery was shut down for a bit and hence the release of Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-down ale. I've even had the pleasure of encountering some of their finest posters in The Craft Ale House near where my family resides:
Sexy Ladies, Beer, 420.
Sexy Lady, Car, 420 license plate
As you can see, they aren't ashamed of their habits. I had planned to post this piece on Lagunitas on 4/20 for all you fiends, but I kinda got sidetracked by something....Here is my first attempt at a little Lagunitas art (I don't remember taking this picture).
PEEP THA PIG!
