Lilikoi Holiday
Passionfruit Tart Ale
4.7% ABV • 9 IBU
Let the refreshingly tart tropical flavor of passionfruit take you on a little holiday with each sip. The fruit’s citrus-like notes add tangy delight and a vacation vibe to this dry and juicy brew

 

Soquel Helles
German-style Light Lager
5.4% ABV • 18 IBU
Helles means “bright,” and this brilliant beer lives up to its name. An elegant golden lager with bready malt sweetness and very mild hoppiness, Soquel Helles is subtle, crisp, clean, and so refreshing.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Encouraging Word
Saison w/ Local Honey
6% ABV • 19 IBU
Brewed with local sage honey from Jeff Walls’ Family Honey just up the road in Soquel, this saison’s aroma bursts with fragrant, floral spice. A pear-like fruitiness enhances the grain character, and there is a hint of black pepper on the palate. A very dry finish offers a suggestion of honey. We could all use an Encouraging Word!

 

The Lark
Maibock
7.2% ABV • 25 IBU
Springtime invites some adventurous fun. The Lark Maibock is a festive lager brewed to celebrate the spring season. German Pilsner and Munich malts mingle to create a malty rich, yet smooth and balanced brew.

 

Mickie Malone’s
Irish-style Dry Stout (served on nitro)
4.8% ABV • 35 IBU
Mickie Malone’s Irish eyes were usually smiling. She had a kind heart and a smile that beamed. I miss you Mom; this one’s for you. Love, Michael.

 

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.

 

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.

 

When The Fog Lifts
West Coast IPA
6.9% ABV • 55 IBU
In this assertively hoppy IPA, tropical fruit and citrus aromas supported by notes of stone fruit and pine lead in to complex hop flavors on a clean, dry malt background. On the palate, notes of passionfruit, tangerine, and gooseberry compliment the classic West Coast hop profile of citrus and pine.

 

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.

 

Foggy Forest
West Coast Double IPA
8% ABV • 70 IBU
While we wait for the rains, foggy forest walks reassure us with green, misty promise. This IPA hints of forest pleasures with its dank, resinous, piney hop aroma.

 

Captivated
Mixed Culture Saison w/ Grapefruit Zest & Juniper
6.6% ABV • 15 IBU
Brett, saison yeast, lactobacillus/-pedicoccus, and time worked their magic on this saison, resulting in a bright, citrusy beer with a dry finish. Notes of lemon, stone fruit, pepper, baking spices, and vanilla captivate the palate. Grapefruit zest, and juniper berries add a gin-like elegance.

 

Rhombi
Barrel-Aged Belgian Quad
11.7% ABV • 14 IBU
Rhombi are our favorite quadrilaterals. It’s also the name of our Belgian Quad that spent 9 months aging in Bourbon and Maple Syrup barrels. This decadent garnet-hued beer has notes of maple, toffee, and chocolate with a smooth bourbon-y finish. Belgian yeast lends subtle notes of baking spices along with hints of cherry and plum.

 

Barrel-Aged Good Faith
Strong Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels
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.
