 * Since you mention that, wasn't Lagunitas the brewery responsible for the Frank Zappa beers? No mention of that, either. RadioKAOS  –&#32; Talk to me, Billy  23:47, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

No idea about Zappa, but 'Wilco Tango Foxtrot' is not a tribute the band Wilco... it's using (somewhat) the phonetic alphabet for WTF. the 'W' is normally 'Whiskey' but in this case, it being a beer and all, they didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about what was in the bottle... 'wilco' is two-way radio-speak that means 'will comply' Ryecatcher773 (talk) 01:36, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe I saw this brand once. Thinking about the name, I assumed it was a multi-faceted play on words.  One of those facets being in reference to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, with the others more in regards to that which you refer to.
 * The Zappa beers were limited releases commemorating the 40th anniversaries of Zappa's early albums. I only ever recall seeing Freak Out!, Absolutely Free and Cruising with Ruben & the Jets.  Stories about Gail Zappa's modern-day control of her husbands oeuvre are legend, so who knows if there were more beers planned and the licensing deal fell apart.  I really don't know, but I would guess that to be the likely culprit. RadioKAOS  –&#32; Talk to me, Billy  02:58, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
