I'm an ale that's fairly new under the sun. I've got a lot of wheat, am rich with hops, and yet I finish dry. My brewmasters have watched with some amusement as the internet argues over how to "classify" me. I satisfy IPA fans with my level of hop bitterness but I'm also so smooth and crisp that the Hefeweizen fans dig me too. Hmm... I guess I am pretty unique.

Founded in 1993, Lagunitas Brewing Co began with a homebrew kit and a kitchen stove. Through a simple formula of producing iconoclastic interpretations of traditional beer styles, paired with an irreverent marketing vibe, the brewery quickly rose to become the craft beer behemoth it is known today. With their various highly-rated, extra hoppy, flavourful and category-defining beers, they are now one of the best selling craft breweries in the US!
