Ready for some liquid gold, Treasure Hunters?

Founded in 1993 in Petaluma, California, Lagunitas Brewing Company quickly became a beloved staple in craft beer culture, renowned for its distinctive brews and irreverent storytelling. Among its lineup, Waldos' Special Ale holds a legendary status as their only Triple IPA.

So the legend goes, a group of shaggy-haired buds who called themselves the Waldos had a daily habit of gathering at the respectable time of 4:20 in the afternoon. They were on the hunt for a secret garden somewhere up in the coastal California hills, according to their treasure map. The hunts were a bust. But their meetup code spread like smoke in the wind. To honor their legacy, Lagunitas brews Waldos' Special Ale with a hand-picked selection of the dankest, headiest hops around.

Each spring, this triple IPA returns as a limited-time offering. Untappd users who check in this iconic beer will earn the exclusive "Treasure Hunter" badge. But it's more than just another check-in—it's your invitation to become part of the lore.

But the trip doesn't end there—Lagunitas invites you to continue the adventure online. Visit https://lagunitas.com/treasure-hunt/ to uncover hidden clues, claim exclusive rewards, and immerse yourself further into the Waldos lore. Happy hunting!
