Message Quick3Beers P beers 3157 º places 51 º 21:31 Fri 10/6/2017 Originally posted by Bill Becker Originally posted by malvrich Originally posted by Bill Becker Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot (WTF) Ale, 2017. The bitterness and alcohol are too intense. Any reason for Wilco over Whiskey? Just curious, I've never seen it. What? Lagunitas is using radio spelling alphabet letters to spell WTF. However, the standard replacement for the letter W is "Whiskey" not "Wilco", so the question is why did Lagunitas use the wrong word? I don't have an answer. But, and I'm just spitballing here, the band Wilco had an album called "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot". Maybe some connection there? Seems tenuous at best.

Got this off the net: It was designed by the brewery’s founder, Tony McGee, who wanted the name to match the proper military shorthand, “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.” But, Chartier said, regulations say “we can’t put ‘Whiskey’ on a beer label, so we used ‘Wilco.’”

Good sleuthing.
