Raspberry Smile
Tart Raspberry Ale w/ Hibiscus
4.7% ABV • 9 IBU
Raspberries and hibiscus bring happy pink flavors and fruity aromas to this tart and refreshing beer. It tastes like a smile.

 

State of Gold
California Lager
4.3% ABV · 16 IBU
Eureka! Here’s a clean, crisp lager with both fizz and flavor, immensely drinkable and featuring California-grown malt from Admiral Maltings

 

Shimmer Pils®
German-style Pilsner
5.3% ABV • 31 IBU
She has a shimmery depth, like light on the fathomless sea. Our brewer’s wife, Eileen, inspired the name of this beer.  Shimmer Pils is a crisp and refreshing German-style Pilsner, a true lager with a balanced hoppiness.

 

Sky To Sea
Amber Ale
5.5% ABV • 29 IBU
Lace up your boots, look down the trail, and see the horizon cut a line against the sea. This classic American amber ale rolls onto the palate with a malty, bready backbone, while caramel notes tag along close behind. A gentle floral- and citrus-scented breeze cuts across your taste buds as the path leads you on.

 

Neighboring
Pale Ale
4.5% ABV • 25 IBU
Our newest Pale Ale, brewed to showcase Proximity ReGen malt
($5 from every pint sold on 1/20 will be donated to the Santa Cruz Welcoming Network)

 

A Love Story
Tmavé Pivo (Czech Dark Lager)
5.6% ABV • 33 IBU
We offer you a love story, brewed to honor and remember our loved ones felled by ALS and to raise funds for ALS research working toward a cure.

 

Jugo Nuevo
Hazy IPA
5.6% ABV • 46 IBU
This new-school hazy IPA is brimming with aromas of tropical fruits. Hops, hops, and more hops were added to this beer throughout the production process to create a distinctively succulent IPA with notes of pineapple and guava. You wouldn’t be blamed if you thought this was some sort of “new juice” rather than a hazy IPA.

 

Pillowcase
Hazy IPA
6% ABV • 35 IBU
We’re making a case for pillowy with this scrumptiously soft, double dry-hopped IPA. Fluffed up with pineapple and pine aromas, it relaxes on the palate in gentle clouds of tangerine and grapefruit.

 

Hugging The Coast
Hazy IPA
6.8% ABV • 30 IBU
Here’s to California’s edge, where sea meets shore. Each sip of Hugging The Coast is a journey, revealing new perspectives of citrus, stone fruits, tropical fruits, honeysuckle, and pine.

 

Hola Lola
West Coast IPA
6.7% ABV • 60 IBU
Lola was rescued from the streets of Baja and now frolics in the woods of Santa Cruz when she’s not hanging out at the brewery. We celebrate her arrival with this West Coast IPA that’s vibrant with pine and bursting with notes of grapefruit and pineapple. Exuberant Sultana and Chinook hops romp on a biscuity base of Admiral Maltings’ Maiden Voyage, resulting in a brew that will have you frolicking too.

 

Uncle Dave’s IPA®
IPA with a Hint of Rye
6.5% ABV • 68 IBU
Is there anyone better to sit around a campfire with, telling stories, IPAs in hand? We think not. Cheers, Uncle Dave! Our Rye IPA has fruity/herbal hop aromas with a substantial supporting maltiness. The rye contributes a hint of peppery spice to this full bodied, complex IPA.

 

Stout Golden Kitten
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Golden Stout w/ Cat + Cloud Coffee & Vanilla
7.5% ABV · 25 IBU
Cat and Cloud coffee supplies the roasty notes in this twist on the traditional stout. Graham cracker-like maltiness and warm notes of vanilla coming from both vanilla and and the bourbon barrels are enhanced by the coffee’s rich, chocolatey character. Served on nitro, the creamy mouthfeel leads into smooth, dark flavors surprising in so golden a beer.
*3-oz/10-oz only

 

Barrel-Aged Good Faith
Strong Ale
12% ABV • 55 IBU
Our old shepherd Faith would’ve made a great brewery dog, but she didn’t live quite long enough. (Dogs never do.) Here’s to her and to all the good dogs. Our award-winning Strong Ale balances sweet toffee and dried fruit with oaky bourbon and vanilla notes from bourbon barrels.
*3-oz/10-oz only

 

Three Fawns
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Tripel
10.9% ABV • 23 IBU
Three Fawns is a Belgian-style tripel aged in American bourbon barrels. A boozy warmth redolent of vanilla, black pepper, and honey, along with soft berry notes, leads into a dry peppery finish influenced by oak.
*3-oz/10-oz only

 

Jack’s Grisette
Barrel-Aged Farmhouse Ale
5% ABV • 18 IBU
Jack’s Grisette draws inspiration from historical grisettes, a sister style to saison which originated in the Belgian/French border region of Hainaut. It was brewed with both malted and unmalted wheat as well as Admiral Maltings pilsner malt before spending 13 months in wine barrels with Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus. The result is a light and refreshing farmhouse ale with soft acidity, subtle funk, and notes of lemon, pepper, and hay.
*3-oz/10-oz only
