This is a lawless IPA that follows neither rules nor stereotypes. Ride its genuine flavour through its heroic hop character and powerful maltiness. Beware the heroes with hidden identity. Remember that you are your own law and your own hero!
In Detroit 1933 during the Great Depression, a radio show was conceived by a German immigrant radio station owner, George W. Trendle, in which a fictional masked Texas Ranger called ”The Lone Ranger” fought in the American Old West with his Native American Comanche companion, ”Tonto,” against outlaws. Tonto means ”stupid” or ”ignorant” in Spanish. In the first episode of this radio show the narrator was a fictional figure called ”Cactus Pete,” who was a friend of The Lone Ranger, telling the story of how the masked man and Tonto first met.
From this radio show, a popular television show of this fictional masked character was created. Airing from 1949 to 1957, ”The Lone Ranger” resonated with millions of viewers in the USA. Comic books and several movies were derived from its success in the American media. The TV show was the ABC television network’s first big hit of the early 1950’s, producing a total of 221 episodes.
The theme music of the show was taken from the ”March of the Swiss Soldiers” finale of Gioachino Rossini’s ”William Tell Overture,” which became strongly associated with the series. The music from Liszt’s ”Les Preludes” was also featured, which was well known for its use by Germany’s Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, as a theme in weekly news announcements to inform of the German victories in WWII.
From the psychoanalytic perspective as an enduring icon of American culture, this hero stereotype with hidden identity and society’s saviour under the will of the government became a classic pattern which exploded over the years in the American media, profiting from the noble sentiments of the audience with its fictional, segregating, racist stories and superficial entertainment.
With our Cactus Pete – Lawless IPA we want to display the duality of the nature of this dramatic and disguised heroic character, with his glossy and beautiful appearance hiding a darker meaning in his shadow and decay, reminding you that you are your own law and your own hero.
