Greg Gose West
Gose w/ Lemon, Lime & Agave
4.5% ABV · 9.7 IBU
We celebrate Greg’s westward migration with this refreshingly sour and citrusy gose. Malted California-grown wheat, sea salt, and coriander contribute classic gose vibes, while lemon and lime accents make for margarita-reminiscent sipping. Cheers to being here!

 

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.

 

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.

 

Pebble Project
Mosaic-Hopped Pale Ale
5.2% ABV • 38 IBU
Stone by tiny stone, a picture emerges…
In our Mosaic-hopped pale ale, shining facets of flavor and aroma build a beautiful beer. Breathe in papaya, guava, and freshly-bloomed blossoms, each scent an element of the Mosaic hops.

 

Mickie Malone’s
Irish-style Dry Stout 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

 

Hole 27
Hazy IPA
6.8% ABV • 35 IBU
Hole 27 (aka “The Top of the World”) at the legendary Delaveaga Disc Golf course offers one of our favorite views of Santa Cruz. Our Hole 27 provides a similarly impressive experience with its bright citrus character with notes of tangerine, pineapple, and melon. Hints of coconut, stone fruit, and lime round out the finish, making it a fitting reward for your own legendary exploits.

 

Trail Map
West Coast IPA
6.3% ABV • 45 IBU
A topo trail map is full of promise, its contour lines displaying the shape of the land and inviting us in. Our Trail Map, a modern take on a West Coast IPA with moderate bitterness, big hop aromatics, and a dry finish, encourages exploration.  Classic grapefruit and pine are supported by notes of fresh strawberry, passionfruit, peach gummies, and a hint of dank. Let’s go!

 

Let Me Be Clear
West Coast IPA
6.8% ABV • 33 IBU
Let me be clear. I’m a West Coast IPA emphasizing hop character over bitterness. With classic Cascade hops contributing their unique citrus and floral notes, and Azacca and El Dorado offering tropical and stone fruits, bright aromas and flavors come shining through.

 

Local Lion
West Coast IPA
6.7% ABV • 51 IBU
Our local lion is cool and assured, confidently offering bursts of pine and citrus in each bright and irresistible sip.

 

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

 

Good Faith
English-style 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.
*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.
