Bring the Taproom Home: Lagunitas and Pinter Launch New Collaboration

With summer just around the corner, there is nothing quite like enjoying an ice-cold, crisp pint of beer on a warm afternoon. It is the perfect way to unwind after a demanding week. Now, two industry leaders are joining forces to ensure you can enjoy that experience without ever leaving your house. Lagunitas has officially partnered with Pinter to launch a new home brewing system that brings the taproom experience directly to your kitchen.

The Lagunitas x Pinter collaboration is designed for those who appreciate the craft of brewing and the convenience of modern technology. The system allows users to craft their own high-quality beer with ease, making it an ideal addition for summer gatherings. The brewer is available now at Pinter.com for $249.

“Lagunitas started as a homebrew, and that hands-on, experimental spirit has been part of our DNA ever since,” says Hannah Dray, Chief Marketing Officer at Lagunitas. “Partnering with Pinter brings that story full circle, giving people the chance to brew a legacy American Pale Ale at home, from a deep archive of unconventional brews. We know how much people love our most iconic beers, and this gives us an exciting new way to reconnect them with historic recipes they’re eager to see return.”

The partnership kicks off with a handcrafted take on the classic “Lil Sumpin’ Easy” ale, with plans to expand the recipe library throughout 2026. The process is remarkably straightforward: users mix the provided brewing ingredients with water and allow the mixture to brew for four to seven days. Following the initial brew, the Pinter unit is placed in a refrigerator for three days to develop flavor and achieve natural carbonation. The entire process takes roughly seven to 10 days, eliminating the need for traditional bottling or kegging.

“Pinter is honored to team up with Lagunitas, one of the pioneers of craft beer, for our biggest U.S. collab yet,” says Paul Benner, U.S. CEO of Pinter. “Now, fans can brew a beer at home inspired by an all-time favorite from the past. This is a chance to enjoy real Lagunitas flavor in a whole new way, tapped straight from your own Pinter.”

Each Lagunitas-branded Pinter machine is capable of producing 12 pints per use and comes complete with branded glassware. For those interested in exploring the future of home brewing, more information on the collaboration and launch details can be found on the official Pinter website.
