Who has not dreamt about saving the world?

Most of us want to do good and make a difference. But everyday life gets in the way making us forget that small things can make a big difference. That’s just what it was like for us at Abob. We are three entrepreneurs with IT and marketing backgrounds who have each felt for some time now that it would be great to do something which would make a difference. Over the past few years we have been searching for such a product struggling to identify one that was not only practically possible but also touched our hearts.

Then one day we started to see things more clearly. We should not try to save the world with yet another product. Instead, we should seek-out everyday disposable items and make them reusable. We came up with the expression ”one-use abuse”. Inspired by the thought that small things can make a big difference, we quickly identified the plastic bag as our first target.

This led to new challenges. To be a conscious and responsible producer and consumer was not as straight-forward as we had thought. There are lots of great initiatives and certifications for fair trade but it’s a jungle out there, much larger than we had ever anticipated. Most of us want to make conscious choices but what does that really mean? We decided to make it a founding principle that all products we introduce must be produced with care for people and the environment. And from this was born the idea of A better option brands. To offer everyday products for a sustainable living.

Our lives have become digital, time-efficient, mobile and programmed. Yet when we dream, we dream of candlelight and romance, campfires and freedom, bonfires and celebration. Everyone longs for fire. Fire is life.

We sell fire.

Our products are the most distinctive ancient and new rices now available in the marketplace and are recognized for their exceptional cooking quality, taste, texture, and superb nutritional value. We attribute this to the fact that they are grown on family farms in limited quantities, on healthy, chemical-free soils, whether in the pristine valleys of Bhutan or on the organic Raun Family farm in Texas. And while our delicious heirloom rices are new to many US consumers, they have been prized in some cases for hundreds of years in the regions where they originate, with the best seed carefully selected and saved season to season and handed down generation to generation.

From our earliest days of striving to make consistently good beer, and instead making beer that ranged from vile, to barely drinkable, to wonderful, to elegant, to questionable-at-best. From being castigated by our West Marin neighbors to finally suffering an ‘eviction’ by our West Marin septic system. From landing in the welcoming arms of Petaluma, and actually getting our beer into bottles, onto the streets, and into the hands of sympathatic beer geeks, to steadily losing less money each month. From all this and more, Lagunitas Brewing Company is emerging as a battle-tested brewery capable of making great beer out of goat’s milk, brambles, and asphalt on the surface of the Moon, if need be.
