Every year when Lagunitas throws the after-party for Petaluma Whiskerino, the timing always lines up with when they’ve just tapped the first run of Brown Shugga‘—their magically sweet, deliciously hoppy holiday brew. It signaled the end of a hairy few months and the beginning of the hearty holidays. But not this year.

Take it from JoJo the Dog Faced Boy (painted/assembled by Jack Haye), you missed one hairy hot mess of a party at this year’s Beer Circus.

Unfortunately, this artwork by Hannah Aitchison didn’t make it in time for the official release of this new limited Lagunitas brew, Zephyr Ale. But it’ll no doubt show up somewhere.

For the first San Francisco Beer Week Lagunitas held a Beer Circus (which they now hold as a standalone event). This year, they wanted to do something different. So they invited a ton of Bay Area publicans out to help create a limited-release brew, just for SF Beer Week. How limited? About 80 kegs worth. “And maybe just one bottle” just to make it stoopidly limited. (Yes, they were joking. Probably.)
After Brewed For Thought shared the story of someone receiving the new Lagunitas Mason Jar and its colorful press release, I was surprised there was no comments around the handy measurements on the side.
Recognize ’em?
Those aren’t fluid ounces. If you’re like me you probably got two outta three:
3.14… – Yup, Pi π
420 – See the story on Kronik Censored Ale
10/6 – Did you get this one? See the rest »

It’s the final countdown. Instead of blasting Europe or referencing GOB, I’m gonna re-post this carnivalesque little ditty. See ‘ya Sunday, freaks!

There’s still tickets. Call the brewery! (more info)
“Another Big Sister of the Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale…. Loads of Malted Wheat for a Curious Malt Foundation and a Light Color, But Our Belgian Yeast Leaves a Huge Flavor and Complexishness.”
Compared to the “wheatly-esque-ishness” of the original, this sounds even tastier-y. Sumpin’ Wild arrives from Lagunitas around September with an ABV of 7.8%.
Mario was lucky enough to try it on tap. Catch the writeup at Santa Rosa Craft Beer Examiner »
Maybe you can sample it at the Beer Circus. Get your tickets yet?
GET YOUR TIX FIRST! THEN SHARE IT WITH YOUR PEEPS …
UPDATE: BEER CIRCUS 2010 WAS A BLAST. SEE THE PICS HERE »
If you saw the pics from the 2009 Beer Circus you’ll stop reading and call the number below to grab tickets. If you were lucky enough to attend, you should already be on the phone right now. Seriously. More info below …
A lil’ background on Wilco Tango Foxtrot via the Lagunitas website:
“… It was Supposed to Follow the 2009 Correction Ale with the Name ‘2010 Recovery Ale’, but it Doesn’t Look Like We’ll Be There by March. WTF?”

Haven’t tasted Brown Shugga‘ yet? Or Olde GnarlyWine? Slap yourself. Then take a virtual taste with Lagunitas Brewmaster Jeremy Marshal. There’s now short lil’ videos for almost all their beers on Lagunitas.com.
After you whet your virtual whistle (get your mind out of the gutter) go down and have some actual tastings at their TapRoom & Beer Sanctuary. Every week they tap a different firkin of some crazy brew you won’t find on shelves anywhere, like Yumberry Pale, Drunken Russian Imperial Ruben, and Mocha Stout. Plus, they just added a whole bunch of sandwiches to their menu.
I’m headin’ there right now. Cheers!
