Charles Pinot Says Cheers to Tony Magee With His New Book, 'Lagunitas Brewing Company, The Story'

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar 13, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Charles Pinot is proud to publish Tony Magee's wild romp through beer-land with his new book, 'Lagunitas Brewing Company, The Story.'Witty and irreverent, Tony Magee's off-the-cuff tale chronicles the birth of one of the craft-brewing world's most beloved breweries. 'Lagunitas Brewing Company, The Story,' is a laugh-out-lout funny tale that takes readers from Tony's earliest days as a lowly print salesman, nearly bankrupt and almost divorced home brewer, to his latest achievement, expanding his fantastically popular brewing operation from its Petaluma pied-a-terre to his home town of Chicago.

Beer enthusiast or not, readers will be continually amused as Magee recants story after story from the breweries earliest days up until the present. From tiffs with local officials, to the humorous sagas that come from moving the brewery multiple times, to creating Lagunitas' mirthful labels, the yarn keeps spinning until it spits readers out into the present day where Lagunitas is a successful, well-honed beer making enterprise - or so Tony would like us to believe.
"We're really excited to work with Tony. His sense of humor and hysterical stories have truly brought his story to life as well as kept our office in stitches. In addition to being a brewing genius, Tony is one of the funniest writers we've had the pleasure to work with," said Charles Pinot Book Division President, Chris Beaver.

In his infinite wisdom and characteristic wit, Magee says, "Beer speaks. People mumble."
