The Chicago contingent initiated the brewing and the gravitational effect of its suchness did the rest. We all loved the beer but the mission was larger than the ordinary joy of a hoppy-sweet quaff. It was driven unseen by an urge to communicate with people, to find our diasporidic tribe, and to connect with other souls adrift on a culture that had lost its center and spun its inhabitants to the four winds to wander lost and bereft with a longing to re-enter the light. Beer, we have learned, has always been a good lubricant for social intercourse! The Lagunitas Brewing Co. was not so much an act of ordinary ‘foundling’ as it was willed into being by the unspoken desire of supportive beer-lovers in Northern California after which they continued to nurture their creativity and urged us forward to fulfill the unifying needs of that same beer-loving diaspora from coast to coast and beyond.
The Patrón Spirits Company was founded with the singular goal of producing “the best tequila in the world.” The founders took the 100% pure Weber Blue Agave, grown in the highlands of Jalisco Mexico, and blended traditional techniques with modern technology. With the guidance of the renowned master distiller Francisco Alcaraz, the Hacienda Patrón, a state-of-the art distillery was built in Jalisco and designed with a core steeped in tradition. Patrón Tequila is the world’s number one ultra-premium tequila, available in more than 100 countries across the globe.
