Rock & Roll beer/wine

I don't know seems gimmicky to me. The only celebrity spirits I've tried have been Mario Andretti's wine, and Fuzzy Zoller's vodka. Both were good, but nothing special. If they are quality efforts, I'm all for it. Ether way the celebrity tie in doesn't do a thing for me.
 
I liked all the Elvis wines I've had.
but yeah, I bought them (and Akroyd's vodka) for the bottle itself, truth be told
 
That Lagunitas looks good!

Here is my entry:

Slayer/Sleigh'r beer division. Ninkasi's very full bodied, very enjoyable holiday offering. Pictured a year or two ago.

Lagunitas did some Zappa Beers, all were very good.

Unfortunately, the series came to a premature end when Gail Zappa vehemently disagreed with Magee’s decision to donate some of the Zappa beer for a memorial concert for one of Zappa’s former bandmates, drummer Jimmy Carl Black, who died in 2008 and had long been estranged from Zappa and his estate. “The [Zappa] family and the original band members don’t really talk anymore,” offers Magee, as an explanation of Gail’s objection to his donation. “Gail really stands hard and firm on a certain set of principles about the music being more important than anything. She defends the fortress in her own way.”

Gail’s withdrawal of support for the Zappa beers not only prevented Lagunitas from getting too deep into Frank Zappa’s vast catalog, it also may have made the five original releases that much more valuable to both beer enthusiasts and rock fans alike.
