Lagunitas and 5/17

So while going through this huge as list for the last week, I noticed that Lagunitas has some pretty cool prose down the side of their 22s and 6-packs. So I give you the beers of 5/17 while I was in Cali, plus the first in a series of Lagunita's poem-like saying on my Lagunitas beer from 5/9, lagunitas lucky 13.

5/17 Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout, Kona Longboard Lager, Firestone Pale Ale, Beck's Light, Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout, Hacker Pschorr Weisse, Craftsman Biere de Blanco, Craftsman Smoke Porter.

Lagunitas Lucky 13
From the first day of the first mash of the first recipe in the first brewhouse in the first space to this oasis 13 years on the road; We have worked hard to walk in the footsteps of our hero brewers- The Esteemed brewer of California's best Pale Ale, the Noble Brewer of the planet's only legal Steam Beer, and Oregon's Rebel Brewer from Newport (pretty sure this is John from Rogue). Thirteen years down the road, we have found our own voice as brewers but our admiration for the Great Ones has not dimmed one bit. If we walked well down the her's path ourselves,k perhaps we too have been an inspiration for others. Beer is a Bronze Age business and we feel honored to have left our footprints on it's path into history, at the same time leaving our flavors on your buds. Thanks for your trust over the years and we hope you enjoy this specially brewed Hi-Gravity Auburn offering. Beer Speaks. People Mumble! Call 707-769-4495. Cheers!
