Production & Heritage

Lagunitas Brewing Company was founded in 1993 in the small Marin County town of Lagunitas, California, before relocating to nearby Petaluma, where the brewery operates today as a subsidiary of Heineken International. The brewery built its reputation on hop-forward, boldly flavored ales, and the seasonal program extends that philosophy into styles that shift throughout the year — from rich winter warmers to lighter warm-weather releases. Because the Seasonal 6-Pack is a rotating product, the specific style, recipe, and ABV change with each release cycle, reflecting the brewing team's creative range beyond the flagship lineup.

Tasting Notes

Because this is a rotating seasonal offering, the following descriptors reflect the general Lagunitas house character rather than a single fixed recipe. Specific tasting profiles will differ with each release.

Aroma: Lagunitas beers typically lead with expressive hop aromatics and a malt backbone that ranges from biscuity to deeply caramelized depending on the seasonal style. Expect bold, layered aromas rather than restrained subtlety.

Taste: The palate across Lagunitas seasonal releases tends toward full-bodied, hop-driven flavors balanced by a generous malt structure. Mid-palate complexity and assertive bitterness are hallmarks of the brewery's approach, though lighter seasonal styles may lean toward citrus and floral notes.

Finish: Finishes from Lagunitas typically carry lingering hop resin and a clean bitterness that invites the next sip. Seasonal darker ales may present roasted or toffee-like warmth on the close.

How to Drink Lagunitas Seasonal

Each seasonal release is best enjoyed slightly chilled in a tulip glass or standard pint glass to let the aromatics open up. Because the style rotates, versatility is a built-in feature — hoppy releases work well in a Beer Shandy with fresh lemon juice for a lighter warm-weather drink, malt-forward releases complement a Beer Flip with a whole egg and simple syrup for a rich winter cocktail, and any release can anchor a Michelada with lime, hot sauce, and Worcestershire for a savory brunch serve.
