There was time for a quick tour before heading on up. More Cali videos coming including interviews and tours of Bear Republic and Russian River!

Remember to drink responsibly(ish) and not be that guy... - Навчання та стиль
Lagunitas gets most of my business. Cheers!
Lagunitas, Russian River and Bear Republic all under an hour from my house.......one of the advantages of living in Northern California. Hope you guys enjoyed your trip
one of the many!
Lagunitas! They make some damn good beer! Their pricing is also fantastic. Cheers guys!
Very good .... thirsty now! 🍺
flights are huge, people are fun, and you've got 40 minutes - WELCOME TO US of A !!!
Only tried the IPA which is wonderful, but any brewery with a picture of, Jerry Garcia on the wall, gets a big thumbs up from me.
haha, a good system to have
Lagunitas is on my brewery bucket list, along with Russian River. Have fun guys, cheers!
they were on ours too! Well worth ticking off, both awesome places for a beer. Video of the latter coming soon!
Looks like you guys had a great time!
yeah it was OK i guess!
there's a term for that unchanged bit of the taproom: it's a dive bar. weird kooky stuff, lots of wood paneling and a wooden bar in a darkly lit room. seems like Lagunitas' dive bar haha.
it felt a bit like one too! Lots of dudes in beards who looked like they been drinking since birth.
love it guys! enjoy the awesomeness of my neck of the woods
you're a lucky guy to live in this part of the world!
well done dudes
You know, I was really weirded out when Lagunitas sold out. Then again, I did not like the IPA, or at least not in the state that it was in when it arrived in Sweden. Really only liked Little Sumpin, but loved that tbh.
Thing is, after this little clip I have an adjusted view. I still will not really seek out Lagunitas unless I know it is really fresh or something, but when I, one day, make my way to Cali, I will stop by there.
Cause I did not really know about the range (or the shack) before because I did not really care. Now I am intrigued.
Cheers for that!
Yeah we were really surprised to see how "small" the company feels despite its size. The offices were cramped, the people friendly, the bar full of awesome people. It's just the tanks that are huge and frightening! We still really wish Heineken had nothing to do with them, but we love the beer and the people we met.
I have had Lagunitas in CA and it's great. I haven't noticed any problems with it at all. The IPA is my favorite IPA of all time sorry Pliny not my favorite. If you get to Cali they have a lot of great stuff.
Really hope you made it to Sebstapol (10 min) away. To Woodfour and that goat place bear by :)
Great stuff, boys! Are you guys making it up to Canada this trip?
Sadly not, but one day!
go a bit north to Anderson valley drink some great beer and play some Frisbee golf on site!
sorry...what? Frisbee golf?! Sounds awesome.
omg, I'm going to be out that way next week. we could have run into each other, loved your book btw. if you're going to be in cleveland, Ohio lmk and I'll show u all the best, including some of my own
thanks for the offer, definitely will! Glad you liked the book.
Did you make it to alvarado street out of interest? Monterey bit of a destination now as it had fieldwork beer garden too!
We didn't but we had some of the beers in SF and loved them - especially the sour we had...the name escapes me though.
Are you coming to Hawaii? Big Island Brewhaus!
We wish! One day.
Ditto that -- I'd love to see you two trying to surf
did you guys try 12th of never? that is my favorite beer from lagunitas..I also have one of those cups...
We did indeed, lovely sipping beer.
Now thats what i call a flight tray...
I won't even look twice at a smaller one now...
You don't do beer flights over their in the UK?
+Vikingr Fmly we sure do. But not this big...
are you still in northern ca?
Afraid not - been back a while! These videos take ages to edit!
Going to California in May, anywhere else you recommend visiting?
Josh Richards come to San Diego if you can! 🍺👍
California is a big place! Where abouts you heading?
Doing 6 weeks along the west coast. San Fran to LA to San Diego so plenty of time for stopping of
Josh Richards go to russian river brewery
Wow lucky you! We don't know much outside of the Bay area but make sure you go to these:
SR - Russian River, Bear Republic
SF - Toronado, City Beer Store, Cellarmaker, Rare Barrel, Fieldwork
LA - Monkish
Is it still good or not?
All the classics still tasting excellent, though the schloer one wasn't so great.
Hangover shades? 🍻
erm...we're gonna blame the sun. But that might be unfair on it.
naw, totally hangover shades ;D
God! I wish we could get more of their beer over here! Great vid guys - love the awkwardness at the end!😜
haha, our editing saves you from witnessing it too often...
love watching your channel guys not to serious. and i can see you really do what you enjoy doing.
if you ever come to holland i own a craft beershop in Volendam.
check it out on facebook its called Bierderij Waterland.
lots of love and greetingz
we will! Need to come over someday soo, we have had a lot of great Dutch beer!
Not gonna lie, I’m American as F**k. You’re accent makes it hard to keep these beers down.
Sadly so does Heineken's ownership of this brewery now.
I was mean to say that, I do enjoy watching the vids guys! Glad you can do what you do
Thanks Nam! No offence was taken and thanks for watching!
Boy this is a little awkward watching this after the buyout...by Heineken..
+Tanner J Hofer they were half bought by then already! The full buyout was...a surprise.

Lagunitas doesn't belong on a craft beer channel, being 50% owned by Heineken. Even the Brewers Association doesn't classify them as such. Buying "craft beer" from one of the giants defeats the purpose for me, since half the reason I buy craft beer is to support small local businesses.
Totally get where you're coming from Robert and we all have our codes.
We definitely strive to put emphasis and support the smaller guys - hence why Lagunitas got a short beer log, but we have big features on Russian River and Bear Republic coming.
That said, we personally don't define craft beer by strict ownership or size numbers - we think you have to decide on a case-by-case basis or else you get tangled in all sorts of hypocrisies and moral dilemmas. While Lagunitas continues to act like a sustainable, friendly business we'll keep drinking their beers. Same for Goose, Camden, Del Borgo et al. If that changes (and Goose is starting to do some very questionable things here in the UK) then we will stop featuring them completely.
The Craft Beer Channel I get that completely. Being a small business co-owner myself, I tend to be more adamant about supporting small companies, though on the flip side I also understand the temptation to sell to a larger company.
You guys make great content, btw. Honestly I can't understand why the channel isn't bigger.
haha, we're happy with the size and having guys like you support the little guys on UA-cam! Craft beer is still niche so we're expecting to grow as the breweries do but we're just lucky to get to travel and taste amazing beers.
We aint gonna sell to Heineken though, that's for sure.
Don't drink beers owned by hedge funds #flaguanitas
