Did they state which Lagunitas? Hopefully the IPA. If so, hope they cater a significant amount per flight as I can see it being in high demand.
Hopefully their catering software is sophisticated enough to know to increase the order whenever it recognizes that I've booked a flight.

Very nice add to the permanent beer list. ^

Oh good. Drinkable beer finally. Although I'd love for them to serve Yuengling.

Maybe once (if?) they expand to nationwide distribution, it'll happen!

I've been very happy simply with Dos Equis as a regular beer offering. And we drank up the Leinenkugal on the plane in October.

Am I the only one here who doesn't get Yuengling? I've had it a few times...tastes like just another mass-produced lager to me. That's fine, just like most of the stuff from Sam Adams is fine, but I don't really crave it the way some people do. I have friends who freak out every time I go on a business trip to DC or NY, asking how much Yuengling I'm going to drink and how much I'm bringing home.

I understand people were this way about Coors a couple generations ago, where trips to the Rockies were expected to be done in a station wagon so you could supply all your buddies with Banquet Beer when you got home. I didn't really get that either...

Agree about Yuengling. It’s a hair better than the big brands, but when you have access to thousands of amazing diverse beers, pretty underwhelming.

It's a good, middle of the road beer. For someone like me who doesn't care for IPAs, stouts, etc, Yuengling is sold in nearly every bar that I'll be at.

If they could only start service to some Canadian markets and add Molson Canadian.

It’s definitely not on par with the (non-conglomerate owned) craft beers that fill two fridges at my house but certainly better than Bud Light or Shocktop.

That's been my drink of choice since they introduced it, despite being primarily a beer drinker on the ground.
