We're Only In It For The Money
Lagunitas Brewing Co.
Petaluma, CA
For several years, Lagunitas has celebrated the 40th anniversaries of various Frank Zappa albums. The latest is "We're Only In It For The Money", a Belgian style Trippel.
The labels are nothing more than the album covers, with the BATF-required legal information on either side. For Zappa fans, this is a nice reminder of the Mother's musical and artistic influence. For beer lovers, it's a reminder of Lagunitas' brewing excellence.
We're Only In It For The Money is relatively "light" for a trippel, weighing in at 8.2% ABV. But its flavor has more depth. Relatively dry and clean, this trippel has more body than many of the Belgian brands and has a bit more color. It's also more highly hopped, which you would expect from the brewer of Maximus IPA.
The aroma is all Trippel, with only a subtle, spicy hop aroma. The label and web site don't divulge the use of candy or other sugars, but you just can't get this flavor any other way. Alcohol is the primary flavor, but it's not as dominant as in Malheur or some other Belgian varieties. Lagunitas includes some malt flavor and a lingering hop flavor.
We're Only In It For The Money is Belgian-inspired, but uniquely American. Makes you want to "Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance."
O'Marro's Publik House in Oshkosh is the new home of
the Society Of Oshkosh Brewers! 8 good beers on tap and many, many more in the cooler. A good music selection and live bands! Stop in and say hi to Shawn and Brandy!

At midnight on this day in 1920, Prohibition began. This marked the beginning of the greatest boom in homebrewing in the history of the world.

Thank you for your patience!
Efforts are being made to create an online reference for technical information related to beer, brewing, meadmaking, winemaking, and cider making. When completed, members will be able to browse articles submitted by club members or other brewing fanatics. We'll post data tables, brewing formulas, and other useful information so members will have easy access to the information they need to make better beer, wine, mead and cider.
Please let us know if you have suggestions for topics or if you have an article to submit. We'll get it online as soon as possible.
