In 2012, a like-minded fan sent in a drawing of an IPA-D2 keg projecting a holographic Princess Leia, and this year fans are sending in more:

From Red Squadron to Rogue Squadron, X-Wing pilots were no strangers to facial hair. But this X-Wing Beard is by far the most most-impressive:
Leia will cheers to that.
Here’s a few of today’s highlights …
Love this rad fan drawing done for LAGUNITAS.

Did you know the world’s largest and most awesome Star Wars museum/collection is in beautiful Petaluma? Now you do. Sign up for their newsletter and enter to win a Rancho Obi-Wan membership.
The Force is especially strong with a couple of ’em.
This one’s all about execution. And I don’t think Lucas could direct this furry troupe the way the folks at Deutsch did. Maybe that’s why he’s retiring from blockbusters.
Apparently, this is only a teaser for some Game Day celebration tie-in that Volkswagen is sponsoring. There’s even a site where you can get your name (and more?) in a customized Star Wars crawl. Woof. Check it here.

It’s not often you find beers like Samichlaus on tap (the rare bottles are a Christmas tradition with me). Even more rare to find hand-doodled parodies gracing the pulls. Church Key in San Francisco‘s North Beach only has a few taps at a time but man does their artwork make up for their numbers. They put the hand in tap handles.

I had to pull teeth out of the bartender as he was, unfortunately, not the most talkative or friendly. This is how I got to what I sorta believe to be the guy’s name:
ÜÜ: Did you draw these? They’re awesome.
CK: No.
ÜÜ: Did someone else at Church Key draw them?
CK: No.
ÜÜ: Do you know who did?
CK: A local guy who comes in here.
ÜÜ: Happen to know his name?
CK: Sean.
ÜÜ: Sean … ?
CK: Sean Dick.
I couldn’t tell if that was the guy’s last name or the bartender just was being one. Making that my last beer at Church Key for the eve. However, I’ll go back and give ’em another chance. And bring a better camera. In the meantime enjoy these seven killer tap handles by Sean Dick(?) …

I didn’t think the ¡Dia De Los Gigantes! Shirt could ever be topped. But this Fear The Jedi Beard (Kenobi) tee created by Jeff Fang may be the best yet.
Gotta love the details:
Stay tuned for info on how—and if— you can get your mitts on one of ‘em, too. Thanks, Fang!
