Heritage Thursday Tasting: Lagunitas

Drink up with Heritage! This week they’ll be sampling beer from Lagunitas. If only I could make it! As luck would have it, I’ll be in Petaluma in October, though. You? You’re not coming with me. So head over to Heritage between 5 and 7 on Thursday.

We’re being taken over by Petaluma, CA’s Lagunitas Brewing Co this week and couldn’t be happier.  This Thursday the 22nd from 5-7PM we’ll have their North Central MidWestern CornBelt Regional Vice Manager for Quality Control Sampling and Supply-Vectored Beverage Implementation Sean McHugh in-store to pour samples of their newest release Bavarian-Styled Doppel Weizen, plus a few others. This new release is a collaboration with the Freistaat Bayern Brothers, founders of ROLEC, a German based company that built the Lagunitas brewhouse for their current expansion (they’ve also done equipment at Victory Brewing, Brooklyn, Magic Hat, Firestone Walker, Stone, North Coast & more).

And while we’re at it, we’re gonna make our 20% off Bomber of the Week is their Lucky 13 alt.
