General Counsel | Profile |
The Chicago contingent initiated the brewing and the gravitational effect of its suchness did the rest. We all loved the beer but the mission was larger than the ordinary joy of a hoppy-sweet quaff. It was driven unseen by an urge to communicate with people, to find our diasporidic tribe, and to connect with other souls adrift on a culture that had lost its center and spun its inhabitants to the four winds to wander lost and bereft with a longing to re-enter the light. Beer, we have learned, has always been a good lubricant for social intercourse! The Lagunitas Brewing Co. was not so much an act of ordinary ‘foundling’ as it was willed into being by the unspoken desire of supportive beer-lovers in Northern California after which they continued to nurture their creativity and urged us forward to fulfill the unifying needs of that same beer-loving diaspora from coast to coast and beyond.
We take our time, we use carefully selected ingredients, and we labour over every batch. Brewing beer with character is the standard we`ve set for ourselves, because at the end of a work day or start of a weekend, when our friends and neighbours reach for something cold, we feel we owe them something we`ve put every ounce of our effort into. Beer with character, for people of character.
