Kill Ugly Radio

The good folks at Lagunitas Brewing Company, out of Petaluma, California, happen to be big Frank Zappa fans. Really big. So big, in fact, they decided to honor Frank by releasing a special beer every year, named after his album covers. Last year's brew, "Freak Out" covered Frank's first album, but this year's brew, released here in Ohio yesterday, isn't called "Absolutely Free" (the title of Frank's second album). Instead, the Lagunitas guys, after talking with Frank's family, found out that Frank wanted to name his second album "Kill Ugly Radio". Well, the record company wasn't thrilled with the name, and it died on the vine - until now.

'Kill Ugly Radio" is an agressively hopped beer, veering into Double IPA territory, and can be had for a mere $3.99 per 22 oz. bottle. This is a no-holds-barred original brew; I think Frank would be proud.

I think your knowledge about beer and wine is very fascinating. Maybe if you're free we can sit down and talk. You name the place and I'll be there. Hope to hear from you. Can you post a picture of yourself.
