Pennywiser Beer Company

There are things in life that are best enjoyed in pairs: white sausage and wheat, peanut butter and jam, wine and cheese, milk and cookies, loud music and beer. The latter is a particularly good match and the happy reason why many bands make not only excellent music but also excellent beer.

Punk from California

The Californian punk band Pennywise is one of the most versatile multitaskers among musicians. Together with Lost Coast Brewery from Eureka, California, the band created a beer that goes perfectly with the hard sounds of their songs. Pennywise was founded in 1988 by Jim Lindberg, Jason Thirsk and Fletcher Dragge and is classified in the melodic hardcore genre. The band's success broke the boundaries of California shortly after its founding and today the albums are sold all over the world. The band went through several changes of lead singer, but ended up back with Jim Lindberg, who had been there from the beginning. The group suffered a great loss when founding member and bassist Jason Thirsk died unexpectedly in 1996. His heartbroken colleagues dedicated a song to him, which to this day marks the end of every concert. The Bro Hymn is a tribute to Jason Thirsk and a testament to eternal friendship.

The beer with the music

The beery equivalent of the Bro Hymn is Pennywiser , which the band created with Lost Coast Brewery. The drinkable Session IPA is the perfect accompaniment to the band's rough music and is also served at the concerts. The beer is cold hopped with the highly aromatic hop varieties Cascade, Chinook, Crystal and Citra and impresses with a strong hop character that caresses the palate with citrus freshness and a sophisticated hop palette. Undoubtedly, the juicy IPA tastes best when you are standing in the front row with loud music in your ears and watching Pennywise live, with loud music in your ears, but the Session IPA is also a real treat at home on the sofa. In order to bring this culinary joy to Europe, the band quickly decided to found the Pennywiser Beer Company and brew their beer directly on site under contract. From Dietzenbach in Germany, Pennywiser conquers Europe. This eliminates the previously long transport route from the USA across the pond, which not only benefits the price, but also the quality of the beer.

With their own beer, Pennywise follows in the footsteps of great music legends such as Iron Maiden and Metallica, who also created a hoppy drink to accompany their music.
