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.

I was lucky enough to be there for this magical collaboration. Here’s the scoop.

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.)

UPDATE: The beer has entered the building.

Finally got a chance to try this elusive ale while at the Library Alehouse in Santa Monica, who had limited stock left. It’s a collaboration between Stone Brewing x Firestone Walker x 21st Amendment. And it’s delicious.

“El Camino (Un)Real Black Ale is brewed with fennel seed, chia seed, and pink peppercorns—with mission figs added.”
