Fresh from the brewery in sunny Petaluma. Bottled only three days ago. It’s a bigger, better version of the limited (and unfortunately all-gone) Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale.
Little Sumpin’ Extra! Ale, in the words of the brewer, Tony Magee:
“Honey and tropical fruit.. This is not beer as we have known it.”
Mmm, quaffable. Look for it in stores in the comin’ weeks.
For the geeks: 72.52 IBU, OG 1.082, 8.74% Alc
Snapped these pics back in February while at the Beer Circus. They’re super-special versions of my favorite from Lagunitas’ now defunct Frank Zappa Series, Ruben and The Jets.
According to Brewed For Thought, two versions should be hitting the TapRoom and select drafts in the coming weeks:
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Ruben and The Jets
Ruben and The Bretts
(barrel-aged, dosed with brett and cherries)

This happened to me almost two weeks ago, but I’m only just now able to discuss it without giggling like a schoolgirl. So here’s my short, random story: See the rest »
If you see this malty-sweet, strong ale on the shelves, snag it. Once it’s gone, it’s gone ’til next Spring. Which if you love this beer like I do, might as well be forever. The next limited release from Lagunitas is A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’. How do I know? I’m drinkin’ Sumpin’ now …
Saturday was the RoboGames 2009 fundraiser partay at Lagunitas in Petaluma. The highlight, 2nd to all-you-can-drink beer, was crowd-pleasin’ robot “Beer Bash”; made from a half-keg of, you guessed it, Lagunitas.

Just picked up Lagunitas’ newest Limited Release, the not-a-double-IPA “2009 Correction Ale”. Straight from the source in Petaluma. Mmm … brewery fresh. Not just a Homer-ism. This stuff tastes wet-hop fresh. Bright, floral, and big on the piney hops I love so much. Perfect for sippin’ your way through these thirsty, economic times. Read what Tony wrote on the label.
For the Beer Geeks: 6.33% ABV 74.20 IBU

I’ve been so engulfed in the flood of inventive, new craft beers hittin’ shelves that I haven’t checked out what’s been going on in liquor with hand-crafted spirits. This local gin is a bold reminder: there’s plenty of creativity happening on the other side of the craft aisle…
There’s so much going on in Botanica Spiritvs Gin. All in a good way. And all with no surprise… It’s hand-made from a guy who used to be a UC Berkeley Biochemist with a penchant for digging up old cocktail recipes and obscure bitters. He pushed boundaries while exploring different roles, like wine maker and bartender, before compiling all his learnings and settling as a Distiller.
You can taste both the craft and the science in Botanica Spirtvs, too (you just can’t taste the ‘n’.) Using predominantly Vapor infusion, his team at Falcon Spirits have managed to layer in complex herbs and fruits that play as well together on the nose as they mingle ‘n pay off on your palate. Pretty impressive.
Yup, that’s real hand numbering. Not just “craft-y” design. Their Still can only produce 300 bottles in each batch so they’re able to assure quality and attention to detail.
Or see what some of the finer mixologists are doing with Botanica at Slanted Door SF or À Côté in Oakland. Cheers!
