Beer fans, it's never too late to celebrate ! KiWiR Pride just dropped today, and it's being sold at $5/bottle! Send a message if you'd like to place an order. Also, keep in mind that because half of all profits from this beer will be going towards the Trevor Project for charity, none of our current discounts nor promotions will be applicable to this beer. We hope you enjoy!

Hello everyone!

We're bottling a new beer today that will be ready on July 1st, and this one is a big deal!
It'll be a little late to the Pride Month festivities, but it's never too late to recognize basic human rights. Our new beer is a Kiwi Belgian Blonde called, "KiWiR Pride," and it is involved with a charity event! Half of all proceeds to the beer will be donated to the Trevor Project, an LGBT+ charity with the goal of offering counseling and su***de prevention to Q***r youth between the ages of 12 and 25. We've provided a link in the post as well so that you can look into it for yourselves. As this beer is for a charity event as well, our Vaccination and Recycling promotions will be inapplicable to this product.
Meanwhile, next week we'll be starting another batch of A Drunken Garden Mishap due to it selling out within 24 hours, and we will also be looking to bring back one of our previous beers made pre-pandemic. Stay tuned for updates, and we appreciate your help in supporting the LGBT+ youth!

Hello, beer fans!

We've just returned from the East Coast and will be announcing some new projects next week! We'll be having a late arrival to the Pride Month festivities, as well as a returning brew. No new beer will be released this month, but stay tuned for some exciting new things to come in July!

So, while not a brewery, The Cauldron in NYC is a Harry Potter/Wicca/Majick themed bar with some creative drinks. I ordered their High Elven Medicine and was not disappointed!

Here at Lingua Franca, we obviously do not support driving under the influence nor beating your children... but most importantly, we certainly do not support being so drunk that you forget an "O" in, "whooping," unless your children happen to be Burger King sandwiches. Drink responsibly, drive sober, and especially please do not spell or do grammar while under the influence of alcohol!

Holy crap guys! In 24 hours we sold out of over 45 bottles--thank you all so much! I suppose I'll have to brew more of "A Drunken Garden Mishap" alongside the new project I'll be beginning today. Be sure to follow our progress, and keep an eye out for more beer! I've got something special in the works for Pride Month next month. Thank you all again for supporting Lingua Franca!!!

Better hurry guys! We just sold a whole case! We've got about six left to sell, so get yours today!

Hello beer fans!
We've got some good news while you're waiting for the beer to come out on Friday! We've recently just acquired a graphic designer to design labels for our beers! Her name is Merillyn Whitesell, and she is both a graphic designer and couturier. She is currently designing the label for a new beer to be released near the end of June. We've attached the links to her socials (the Instagram account is for her couturier skills in particular), so please be sure to welcome her to the Lingua Franca team and possibly give her a like/follow! Welcome to Lingua Franca, Merillyn! 🍻

We know it's not beer related, but here at Lingua Franca we like to show love and appreciation to our alingual animal friends as well! Today our #1 helper, Ace, turned a whole 5 years old today! We went outside our comfort zone from brewing beer to baking dog safe, "pupcakes!" Happy birthday to our bestest Kegging K-9!

I had to wait for the fermenting to slow down just a little more before the second ferment, so A Drunken Garden Mishap's release date has been delayed by only a day. The new date of release is Friday, May 28th.

04/27/2021

Hello beer fans!

We finally have a name for the lemon and basil saison in the works! The beer will be called, "A Drunken Garden Mishap." Please follow the maturation of our little botanical experiment on Facebook and Snapchat until it is ready for consumption and purchase around May 27th. As always: be safe and drink responsibly!

Hello everyone!

Thank you for a good first day online!

Our next beer is now fermenting and the expected date of release will be Thursday, May 27th!! It is a lemon and basil Belgian saison. Please bear in mind that the fermenting process has many variables, so the beer may be released a few days later than the expected date. We will be sure to update you if anything changes.

In the mean time, please be sure to share our page around and to give us a shout if you have any questions! Be safe and drink responsibly!
