Likely I just didn't do enough searching, and if that's the case, lock this thread!

"Official" (?) thread for/about Beers (& soda) related to Buses

Off the top of my head, I can think of at least seven different beers that use buses (split, bay and vanagon) as part of their motif/label/naming.

Whether the beer (or soda) you post about still exists, or if it is defunct, just try to make sure it has something to do with buses (or VWs if you're stretching it).

I'll start. Here's a beer I just saw for the first time this past weekend out of Paso Robles, California.

Barrelhouse Brewing Co. Big Sur Double IPA Beer

Have you tried it?

I have a six pack but at 9% i need to chose a good time to crack one open!

Mmm, beer.

There's a few beer cans I've picked up along my way that are VW related. Don't remember the names, I would have to check when I get home later.

I do know there is one brewery in CT called Two Roads that uses a split bus for marketing as well as in some of the product designs. I've been to the brewery and it's a nice setup, with some good beer and great outdoor space.

Images pulled from google. I could've sworn they had a can with a bus on it, but I must've been thinking of the case. Still cool though.
Case:

Metal sign from their gift shop:

Here's their bus which they bring to events, including an aircooled VW camping show in NJ (Dubs in the Shrubs):

I'll take some pictures later of the other VW brewery stuff I have at home.

There are a few mixed threads but I don't think a dedicated thread to this (search Gaffel Kolsch).

Everett; feel free to lock this up!
I'll happily defer to this other thread that busdaddy pointed out.

Oh, and Crofty; save me one (Big Sur Double IPA Beer). I'm kicking myself for not having bought one.

I'll jump in before it gets locked up.

Happy Camper....what more can you say?

Gordo.

They should call it Dubs 'n Suds in the Shrubs.

Ok, let's use that thread. :)
