. Favourite Beer of the Week

Coffee in the morning and wine in the evening and everything else is boring boring.

That's what indie pop diva Lisa Germano sings on 'Bruises', the third track of her 1996 album 'Excerpts from a Love Circus' (the one before her record label dumped her and she joined the Smashing Pumpkins and got fired immediately and worked in a Hollywood bookstore and got signed again and released three more albums).

And she makes a good point.

Until you consider Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout. Is it a coffee? Is it a delicious alcoholic beverage? Is it both?

What would Lisa Germano think?


I think it's rather nice. It's not as coffee-ish as Hitachino Espresso Stout. But then cappuccino is not as coffee-ish as espresso. So that makes sense.


Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout was recommended to me by our good friend Erik Marr, who knows all about beer, and has a spinning cat.



Lisa Germano loves cats. Her latest album, Magic Neighbor, is all about them.

Coffee in the morning and wine in the evening and everything else is boring boring, except maybe a cocktail-hour cappuccino stout.

And cats.
