For those of you who aren’t aware, just over a year ago we came across the now critically acclaimed “Lake of the Woods Vice” lost pilot episode… found jammed in an old VHS player in the basement at the brewery. We had it digitized from the master tape for your viewing pleasure… And now… ANOTHER AMAZING FIND!! A bunch of these limited edition posters were found stuffed in one of the walls at the brewery, apparently being used as insulation. Posters are 12″ x 18”.
