Fresh hops just arrived from some of our favorite breweries!

Faction, 2-Hop: HBC586 & Peacharine. Our rotating West Coast Pale Ale series featuring a combination of 2 Hops. This batch features HBC 586 and Peacharine. 5.8%

Societe/Alvarado Street, Just The Two Of Us. This West Coast IPA is a joy ride along a tropical lazy river, compelling complete strangers to hold hands. Experimental hops HBC586 and Nectaron play footsies while Mosaic giggles shyly on the fringe. 7.1%

Breakside, Stars On Ice. Double IPAs used to be such a drag! They were hard to make, didn't stay fresh for very long. and most of the time, people wanted their IPAs in an everyday size. But something's changed in the last few years! Now we have access to more refined hops-- concentrated pellets, aromatic flowables, isolated terpenes, new varietals with novel oil profiles, hop boosting yeasts -- and they ve made making double IPA fun again! The brewer's toolbox for making amazing hoppy beer has never been so vast! These are hops that have been processed and packaged to last, and wow, trust us, can they throw a ton of amazing aroma that was nigh-impossible to get from classic pelletized hops. Stars on Ice! is a double IPA for 2024: it's light, bright, dreamy, and fun. It features a heavy hand with Strata C6X-- the concentrated hop pellet that our friends at Crosby Farms developed, and Mosaic Incognito-- an infamous liquid form of Mosaic that helps create a deeply saturated, oily hop flavor. We couple these with some New Zealand-grown Nectaron which brings a ton of stonefruit and old school diesel to the plate, and Talus, the under-appreciated supporting actor, that throws notes of lime leaf, tangerine, and peach melba. Come join the DIPA party! 8.1%

Cheers!!!

Fresh drop from Original Pattern Brewing Co. just landed!

Not Velvet, But Cashmere. It doesn't get much smoother or more luxurious than this buttery IPA. Unlike most of our hazys, we utilize a cool whirlpool for this brew to focus the juiciness as much as possible while at the same time reducing bitterness. Brewed with Cashmere, Citra, and Strata hops, snuggle up for notes of lime zest, fresh-cut melon, and a surprisingly light body. 6.2%

Whatever Makes You Hazy. We make plenty of hazy IPAs with the new hotness in hops, but you can't knock the classics! Citra, Mosaic, and Centennial hops bring tried and true passion fruit, grapefruit, and mango character to this IPA, along with a semi-dry finish. If it's not broke, don't fix it. 7%

Reach For The Saaz. It doesn't get more crisp than this ultra-clean, 100% Czech Saaz fueled lager. This low ABV crispy boy still features delicate notes of crackers, caramel and earthy wood despite it light a crisp body and mouthfeel. No matter what time of year it is, it's hard to reach for anything else when you've got this clean of a brew staring you down! 4.6%

Midnight Awakening. 'Tis the season for savoring our imperial stout!! Full bodied, rich, smooth as silk. Lower your thermostat and stay warm with this absolutely stunning beer! 10.5%

Cheers!!!

Eldritch. This is a hazy IPA hopped with Galaxy, Idaho 7, and Simcoe. 6.8%

Chimera. The fantasical arrival of the illusory phantom Chimera seems impossible. This hazy DIPA is a brand new fire-breathing monster at 8% ABV, comprised of lion, goat, and dragon body parts and Southern Hemisphere fantasy like Nelson Sauvin & Riwaka hops. Chimera is incredibly dangerous, juicy and fruity with fanciful flavors of white grape, white currant, and tangerine.

Cheers!!!

Cold Pressed. Pure hop juice in a can! Plain and simple. We combine a unique blend of hops and an expressive yeast strain to create flavors of peach rings, mango, guava and pulpy, fresh-squeezed orange. Low bitterness and a chewy, full-flavored mouthfeel conveys maximum juiciness, while maintaining balance and drinkability. Hopped with HBC 586, El Dorado, & Sabro. 6.5%

It tastes fruit forward with notes of passion fruit, mango and melon, balanced with gooseberry and sauv blanc flavors. 7%

It Has Wi-Fi. The nice thing about drinking an IPA in 2023... IT HAS WI-FI. This 7.3% Westie is a Strata-heavy brew with Mosaic and just a (mega)bit of Cashmere - a Modern India Pale Ale that boasts a heavy bandwith of aroma without lagging on flavor. The initial pour screens a high-res but slightly-unfiltered straw with a white head. Dialed up aromas of nectarine and fruit loops present link after link of peach, kumquat, and strawberry pages - err - notes. Log out and enjoy our newest smooth-bodied, clean-finished, balanced-bitterness offline experience! 7.3%

Our friends at Breakside Brewery just hooked us up with their last two barrel aged releases of 2023!

You Can't Do That On Television. When we sat down to sample barrels for our final two blends of the year, we had originally earmarked the cohort of barrels that became the centerpiece of this blend for an adjunct-laden stout, and we had imagined that a most roast-forward set of barrels would form the heart of a traditional, non-adjunct beer. The nine casks that form the focal point of this blend had strong notes of caramel, milk chocolate, fig, prune, fruit cake, toffee, and chocolate pudding. After 20 months in barrel, there was a mellowness to these beers, a soft, chest-warming alcohol note that allows grassy notes of rye whiskey and dusty cocoa to come through as well. We loved the complex array of dessert-like artifacts in this initial blend, but despite the well-articulated pastry notes, the beer needed some more sweetness and vanilla-like notes. So, we went back to the wood cellar and found two casks of extra-aged porter and stout that helped round out the body, add some wood-derived vanillin, and pump in a whiff of classic Kentucky Bourbon. 14.4%

Doug. This is an unusual beer for us in two different ways. First, we rarely use non-traditional adjuncts in these barrel-aged stout blends. Generally speaking, we find the diversity of flavors and aromas that wood, base beer, time, and blending to be so great and wide-ranging that we don't find adding "extra" ingredients—even delicious ones—to be necessary or even beneficial. But in tasting the barrels that we blended for this project, we thought there was a really lovely floral, vanilla-like note that would sing from being turned up. Doug is also unusual in that it is all blended from a single batch of American Imperial Stout. Most of the blends in our barrel-aged stout program consist of beer from 3 or 4 different batches. This was the first time that we finished a blending session feeling that the cohort of barrels from the "centerpiece" beer didn't benefit from additions of other beers. 14.3%

Cheers!!!

TGIF! We just received a fresh drop from There Does Not Exist!

Foreteller. This is a black lager brewed with soft water, German malt & hops, time, and our beloved, all seeing lager yeast. A base of pilsner malt sets the stage for a sprinkling of various highly kilned, and roasted, specialty malts. The combination of these raw materials yield a beer that is black in color, with tinges of ruby red around the edges of your glass, and flavors + aromas of baking chocolate, smoke, and a hint of cola. Just like a premonition, these all vanish quickly, and yield to a dry finish that keeps your face in your glass. 5.1%

LightLost. The base of LightLost pyramid was built with sacks and sacks of flaked/malted oats + malted spelt (an ancient variety of wheat). These malts and adjuncts help assemble the golden opalescent haze and pillowy mouthfeel. The cosmic aromas and flavors start with a dose of Citra and El Dorado in the whirlpool and are followed up by unethical levels of dry hopping and Centennial, Amarillo, Chinook, and a sprinkle of Hallertau Blanc. LightLost jumps out of the glass eith aromas of Mandarin, ripe apple, vanilla, and a hint of Purple Kush. Where will yoi be ehen all the LightsLost? 6.9%

Headsman. This is a modern West Coast style IPA - very pale, light and zippy on the the palate - that has a KILLER (haha, dude.) hop profile. Hopped hot side with the dankest CTZ we could find, Citra, and HBC 586 - we laid down an aromatic base of stoner metal fruit snacks. Then, post fermentation, we CHOPPED UP bags of more HBC 586, Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic & a touch of our favorite Nelson Sauvin from Freestyle Hops. This combo EXECUTED an oily, saturated finished beer with the perfect blend of fruity aroma varietal hop character, but backed by enough grungy dankness to balance. Certainly a new favorite of our brewhouse HEADSMAN. 6.66%

Cheers!!!

We've been sourcing our Citra, Galaxy, and occasionally Mosaic from Haas for years, and being among the small breweries they partner with is a total honor. 🙌 Our recent epic journey to the Southern Hemisphere hop harvest in Australia, courtesy of Haas Hops, allowed us to connect with the farmers, growers, breeders, and brokers behind these amazing hops. On top of that, we had the privilege of bonding with Matt Brynildson, the Brewmaster of Firestone Walker, during our Aussie hop adventure. Matt's influence on American craft beer is undeniable, and his progressive hoppy beer program has shaped the industry for the past 30 years. 5%

Fresh round of cans from our friends at Cellarmaker Brewing Company just landed!

Abel Tasman. Abel Tasman National Park is located at the northernmost section of the southern island of New Zealand. During a trip to NZ in 2019, we were captivated by the park’s awe-inspiring beauty. While there, we spent crucial time selecting the best hops NZ has to offer.

Macrodose. This week we are getting weird with our friends from Shred Beer Company. Introducing Macrodose, a West Coast Double IPA that we brewed with Columbus Cryo, Mosaic, Simcoe and Nectaron. 8.2%

Get Off My Lawn. When we first brewed this Hazy Double IPA years ago we had a lot of explaining to do. A lot of people were put off by the deep haze of this beer, the soft and chewy body and the wild tropical fruit aromas from modern hops and expressive yeast. The original description even had a tongue-in-cheek declaration that we are “just kids doing kid stuff!” We didn’t let the detractors get us down, some are even friends! Hops: Strata, Ekuanot, Citra, Simcoe and Galaxy! 8.2%

Cheers!!!

Cellarmaker, Mo'HBC586. New hop varieties are popping up every year and some are better than others. HBC 586 is totally 100% on our radar BIG TIME. It is only a matter of time until this resinous hop gets a name and starts popping up in a lot of beers. For now, we have teamed it up with Mosaic for a new hazy addition to the Mo’ series. These two hops are very compatible making a very dank and aromatic IPA. 6.9%

Pizza Port, Finding Paradise. Finding Paradise is a medium-body West Coast style IPA brewed with Citra, Nelson, El Dorado, & Centennial hops. You can expect aromas and flavors of grapefruit, citrus, lemon, gooseberry, tropical with papaya, resinous, bread dough & lemongrass. This is followed by moderate bitterness.

Notes of mulling spices and hazelnut in the nose are complemented by the toffee and baker's chocolate flavors in this beer. 5.1%

Sarah. This IPA, Sarah, named after the first owner of the shop is what the kids call these days a banger. A light malt bill of Pilsner and Vienna meals was meticulously layered with the classic American aroma hops, Citra and Simcoe. Dashes of New Zealand grown Superdelic hops and Washington grown El Dorado hops add unique twists to this beer that you won’t find elsewhere.
