A Little History on the Bottled Llama
As some may know, Bottled Llama Brewing is the entity that owns the Lost Cause. Just what is this ... bottled llama?
Well, it is a strange creature. You see, once upon a time several years ago, Royal and Roger had monotonous jobs. They were at these jobs at the wee hours of the morning, 2 and 3 am. Now, most people might be smart enough to go to bed early when working these hours. But, not these guys. Nope. They went to work on three or four hours of sleep and worked for ten or twelve and then had lots of other responsibilities after work.
They were quite strung out. Well, the mind has to protect itself. Roger likes to think he's something of a writer (this is a lie that people allow him to believe). So his brain protected itself from the damage of sleep deprivation by going to an imaginary place called the Eternal Forest. The body ran on instinct, the mind jogged in the Meadow That Never Gets Dark and hiked the hills called Over There and swam in the River Bimm. Yeah, see he had spent too long working weird hours, reading fantasy novels and drinking beer. It all came together in this place. For whatever weird reason, he started writing about it.
One of the creatures in the Forest is ... that's right, the bottled llama. In fact, there are those who say it was the first. The Forest grew and grew and grew. Royal even had a hand in writing parts of the chronicles of the Forest. Now, Roger has corrupted his children and made them think the Forest is legendary. And so the Forest continues to grow in all its strange glory. You can read about the Forest here. There's also a link on the sidebar. If you read carefully, you'll find a description of the bottled llama.
Most people have taken well to the bottled llama. There may even be a sculpture of one someday in the brewery.
