Lagunitas' Zephyr Rolls Into Chicago
The California Zephyr is a passenger train that runs just over 2,400 miles, beginning in Chicago, traveling across the expanse of the America West, and finally ending in Emeryville, CA. It was made famous in the late 1940s for its nifty-looking 'Vista-Dome' cars. Today the name Zephyr has a new connotation for Chicagoans. It's the fruit of a very special collaboration between California brewery Lagunitas, Big Star and The Publican.
From The Stew: "Brewed just for the Chicago market with folks from Big Star and The Publican, the beer is at heart a classic Lagunitas offering: that is, bold and well-hopped. This is a large and juicy beer that grabs your mouth and doesn't let go."
It's heading to about 70 different locations across Chicago including Bangers & Lace, Sheffield's, Village Tap, Long Room, all three Small Bars and Gingerman. [via]
