[ MUSIC ] My name's Tony Magee. I founded Lagunitas Brewing back in 1993, and my younger brother who loves up in Oregon was working at a big pub chain Been up there and he was a bartender and was as such completely immersed in craft beer and for christmas present he got me home brewing kit and I made that first beer, you know I had no idea what I was doing and I was reading the instructions as I was mixing things together and for me there was something profound. In that moment of realizing that you are careful, you can get just transcended product, and if you are careless about it you will fail. So these are the two things that sound chizzy and stupid, but the truth of the matter is, there was never any ambition to be out of he luminous. We would have thrown Yeah. I mean, everybody liked getting high. Everybody enjoyed beer. Everybody liked hanging out. We were all just ourselves. And so we never ever worked for the money. I mean, that's really, it just turned out. There was a ton of Of value in the business and that was an important moment to recognize that we could partner with a big brother because we become that valuable. So our relationship with Heineken, well Heineken is a very decentralized company. Amsterdam is the center of Heineken but the people that run France, our operating company that stand As a separate entity. They created, for us, an alcohol of our own. So all you need is held within Heineken, as if it was a country. So I think that there's so many different ways that all these things have been constructed, that the only way you'll know, is 10, 15 years from now. And so that's what I told my employees at the time. I said, you know, Watch and see what happens. He trusted me so far. He wouldn't be working here if he didn't trust me. He trusts me that I set things up well and that I'm gonna see them through. And so far, so good. I think Lagunitas is gonna be a big part of the US beer scene. I think that the scene is gonna be far more fragment. Than it is today with three big players controlling 85 % of the market. Then the rest of it split up with 5, 000 players. It will be a little bit different than that. The beer scene is gonna be extraordinarily esoteric and interesting. It just is not gonna be just lager as it's been in the past, which is great. Diversity. People want experiences. And craft beering is part of that, I think. [ MUSIC ]

Only in America could a pot-smoking college dropout become a California craft beer pioneer.
