Lumpy Gravy: Now That’s A Beer Name

January 10, 2008 By Jay Brooks

By know you probably already know that Tony Magee, the iconoclastic owner/brewer of Lagunitas Brewing, is a big fan of Frank Zappa. So far, with the permission of Zappa’s widow, Gail Zappa (who runs the Zappa Family Trust), he’s released a Lagunitas beer on the 40th anniversary of each of Frank Zappa’s first two albums. First there was Freak Out and then Kill Ugly Radio, the original title of his second album, Absolutely Free. Now comes Lumpy Gravy, again using artwork from the original album. I haven’t tried it yet, but I can only hope it’s a brown ale. That would be most fitting.
