Time to Get Lost
It had been months since I’d seen my old friends at ABC – Sawyer, Jack, Kate, John, Hurley and the gang. The premier episode of their final season had been months and months in the making. And it required a friend’s big screen TV, lots of snacks, and a really good beer.
I settled into the couch with some crudite and some spinach artichoke dip. And a Hairy Eyeball.
A Hairy Eyeball isn't a ghoulish snack. It’s a big, brown malty beer from Lagunitas Brewing.
Carmel-like, roasty, sweet and boozy, with a smidge of citrus and only the merest hint of hops, it’s a deep, dark, dramatic beer.
Yep, a Hairy Eyeball is the perfect accompaniment to a TV series that attempts to address time travel, redemption, and the conflicts between science and faith.
Here’s lookin’ at you, Mr. Abrams.
