Pineapple Cruzer Weisse
Berliner Weisse w/ Pineapple
4.4% ABV • 5 IBU
Pineapple joins the Cruzer Weisse party! Cruzer Weisse is our Santa Cruz version of a Berliner Weisse, the sour wheat beer from Northern Germany. Pleasantly tart and effervescent, Cruzer Weisse is the perfect thirst quencher, bringing a refreshing zing to your warm weather fun. Plus, pineapple!

 

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.

 

Quartz & Spark
Kristallweizen
5% ABV • 13 IBU
Our kristallweizen, a filtered hefeweizen, is crystal clear and sparkling with yeast-derived fruity and spicy goodness. Like the electric zing that sparks from colliding quartz crystals, aromas and flavors of fresh banana and clove flash from your glass. Zippy carbonation adds to the energy of this beautiful wheat beer.

 

Ten Million Flowers
Kolsch w/ Orange Peel & Honey
5.9% ABV • 23 IBU
Tens of millions of flowers were visited by local bees to make the honey that gives a taste of place and a dry finish to our Kolsch-style ale. Vinous esters mingle with a wisp of honey in the nose. The delicate malt flavor is gently accented with a touch of orange zest in this refreshing, food friendly beer.

 

Accordion Man
Oktoberfest Lager
6.1% ABV • 24 IBU
The man who played his accordion for us in a small beer garden in Baden-Baden forever changed our impression of this instrument. Thanks for the gorgeous music, accordion man. This beer’s for you! Our golden-orange-hued Oktoberfest Lager is brewed with imported Pilsner, Vienna and Munich Malts for authenticity.

 

Oh Black Lager
German-style Schwarzbier
5% ABV • 25 IBU
Oh Black Lager, Keep on Rollin’… The sound of the black lager happily burbling in the brew house brought this song to mind. Similar in style to a German Schwarzbier, this lager is dark brown in color with a roasted malt aroma and a lingering finish.  Its flavor is malty and mellow with a slight roasty edge reminiscent of bitter chocolate.

 

Sunny Cove
West Coast Pilsner
4.4% ABV • 30 IBU
Named after one of our favorite local beaches, Sunny Cove features the American hops Centennial, El Dorado, and Strata jumping and running exuberantly on a background of Admiral Pils malt. The aroma starts off with a hit of funky herbal dankness. Passion fruit, strawberry, grapefruit and resinous green pine are all players in this crisp, bright lager.

 

Shadybrook
Summer Ale with Lemon Zest
5.3% ABV • 23 IBU
Bright bursts of lemon meet your nose and palate with the first summery sip of Shadybrook. Does it remind you of lemon marmalade on a freshly baked biscuit, or a lemon candy tucked in your cheek on a hike? The buoyant bitterness of lemon zest accents each light and refreshing swallow.

 

Icebox Poem
Cold IPA
7.3% ABV • 60 IBU
I drank the IPA
that was in
the icebox.
You were probably saving it
for after work.
Sorry!
It was great,
so crisp
and so cold.
Sultana, Simcoe, and Idaho 7 hops are showcased in this IPA brewed and fermented to emphasize a crisp, clean finish.

 

Hop Bebop
West Coast IPA
6% ABV • 30 IBU
Complex hop chords improvise from jazzy joy. Notes of tropical and citrus fruits, flowers, and pine play well together in this easy drinking, highly aromatic IPA.

 

Uncle Dave’s
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.

 

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.

 

Neon Shine
Imperial Pilsner
7.1% ABV • 35 IBU
This dazzling attention- grabber glows with the clean character and pleasing bitterness of your favorite German- style Pilsner. Its shimmer is amplified, yielding a golden, noble beer with richness and depth. Let Neon Shine illuminate your situation.

 

Good Faith
Strong Ale
9% 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. Good Faith is a Strong Ale, with malt derived toffee and dried fruit notes.

 

Ganders Red
Belgian-style Sour Red Ale
8.2% ABV • 9 IBU
Our version of Flanders Red, the famous Belgian Sour Red Ale, is fruity and reminiscent of red wine. A lemony nose leads into tart cherry character on a good malt backbone, with oak notes from the barrels mingling with a suggestion of almonds.

 

Wooden Ruler
Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
13.3% ABV • 88 IBU
Our whiskey barrel-aged imperial stout is dark, rich, and authoritative. Aromas of roasted malt, whiskey, and oak capture your attention, while notes of deep caramel, toasted marshmallow, and fig enthrall your tastebuds. A lingering, roasty bitterness brings all of the elements into triumphant balance.
