Lagunitas IPA beer

Lagunitas IPA is a flagship India Pale Ale that played a pivotal role in the American craft beer revolution. Founded in California in the early 1990s, the brand quickly became known for its 'hop-forward' flavor profile and iconic dog logo.

While the brand maintains its Californian identity and primary brewery in Petaluma, its manufacturing has expanded globally since its acquisition by Heineken. For the European market, including Sweden, the beer is often brewed under license in the Netherlands or other regional facilities to ensure freshness and reduce environmental impact.

The brand's journey from a small kitchen operation to a global name concluded in 2017 when Heineken N.V. acquired full ownership, integrating Lagunitas into one of the world's largest brewing portfolios while maintaining its distinct marketing and recipe.
