Pot calling the brewery bitter
When he’s not getting struck by cars, Darryl from Austin finds interesting stories and sends them my way. This time it’s an article from the Press Democrat, relating the story of the Lagunitas Breweing Company’s newest ale: Undercover Investigation Shut-Down Ale.
Alc. 10.1% by Vol. “This beer,” the ever-colorful [brewery founder Tony] Magee said, “I wanted to be a knuckle sandwich. It’s big, it’s bitter and it’s angry. It’s unrepentant, and it’s unforgiven.”
Oh, you know I’m dying to try this stuff! Even better is the report that the name came from a recent drug bust at a Lagunitas tasting event. According to the report, undercover agents spent 8 weeks hanging out at these tasting parties, looking for pot smokers. Their efforts were finally rewarded with a huge bust resulting in the arrests of… wait for it… two people. Thanks for making our streets just that much safer, officers. I can now visit alternative breweries without being subjected to REEFER MADNESS!

Oh my god thats funny. 2 people- way to go. Did they happen to notice while undercover how many people at the beer tasting were going to drive home drunk afterwards? So typical.

Wha… what were we talking about? I gotta stop going to all those Lagunitas parties.

It would be interesting to know what the total cost of that bust was. 8 Weeks? Seriously? And you know that those agents make way more than me….fuckers.
