On a recent trip north for a wedding, Lake and Alex burned some time and bought some bombers at the Petaluma digs of Lagunitas brewing company. Lagunitas’ beers have been long time faves of your favorite beer snobs, and it was a real treat to get a peek at the industrial side of their full bore brews.
Unlike Stone’s monolith of a production center cum-hedonist-compound, Lagunitas’ location has more of a factory vibe. Too early and without time for the regular tour, the Brewery’s secretary Stephanie gave an awesome walk around, offering a chance to see, and show you, the mechanical workings of a fast growing super-brewery.
The video shows the Lagunitas means of production in full swing, with their chilled out crew rocking hard to death rocker/horror director Rob Zombie’s late 90’s jams. In the background, you can see the outlines of what Stephanie told us was a three day supply for the growing giant: over 80 pallets of beer.
Stay tuned for reviews of what we brought back…
Goddamn live ales on spinning pallets!!!
