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.

 

Anniversary 2026 
Malty Session Lager
2.9% ABV • 17 IBU
Let’s choose goodness. We’re celebrating our 13th anniversary with this lovely copper-colored lager, low in alcohol and brimming with malty flavor. Brewed with responsibly-sourced and locally malted grains from Admiral Malting, it offers rich aromas of bread crust, crackers, and toasted almonds. A light touch of grassy/floral hops balances malt sweetness, leaving you eager for the next sip.

 

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.

 

Giant Dipper
Golden Ale
4.6% ABV • 28 IBU
Since May 17, 1924, the Giant Dipper roller coaster, complete with its landmark red and white structure, spectacular view of the Monterey Bay, and speedy successive dips and fan curves, has kept new and old generations coming back for more. This is an easy-drinking golden ale with bright citrus and floral hop character and a bready malt finish. Full-flavored and refreshing, this is the perfect beer for celebrating a century of Giant Dipper thrills!

 

Dublin Sunburn
Irish-style Red Ale
5% ABV • 19 IBU
We spent a week wandering around Dublin during a heatwave, and all the Dubliners were in the parks with their shirts off enjoying the feel of the sun on their skin. Day by day they walked through St. Stephens Green seeing redder and redder skin as everyone excitedly burned.  It was a sunburn celebration. This is a traditional Irish Red: malty with a wee bit ‘o hops for balance. Sláinte!

 

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

 

Pogonip Pale
Pale Ale w/ Grapefruit Zest
5% ABV • 25 IBU
Pogonip Pale is named in honor of the meadows, forests, and creeks of one of Santa Cruz’s greenbelts. Fresh grapefruit zest enhances the citrus character of cascade and chinook hops. Just as a hike in Pogonip refreshes the soul, Pogonip Pale refreshes the palate with zings of lemon and grapefruit on a delicate malt background.

 

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.

 

Santa Carla
Hazy IPA
6.1% ABV • 29.1 IBU
Through the fog, glimpse Santa Cruz’s fictional alter ego, Santa Carla, where certain boys never grow old. Chilly notes of orange and lime, apricot and peach, are revealed in this hazy brew, while hints of mango, guava, and strawberry add to the intrigue. It’s toothsome, effortless to stomach, delectably drinkable.

 

Submarine Canyon
Meyer Lemon & Sea Salt IPA
5.7% ABV • 43 IBU
We all live by the Submarine Canyon, a Grand-Canyon-sized marvel beneath our Monterey Bay. The canyon walls descend into cold darkness, but weird and wonderful life abounds. In this IPA, fruity hop notes swim with whispers of Meyer lemon and sea salt. Every Submarine Canyon IPA sold supports the work of Save Our Shores.

 

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!

 

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.

 

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

 

Ganders Red
Sour Ale aged on pinot noir pomace
6.8% ABV • 11 IBU
This iteration of Ganders Red, our version of the Belgian sour, Flanders Red Ale, was conditioned on Windy Oaks pinot noir pomace for four months, then aged in red wine barrels for 15 months. Its vinous aroma is laden with cherry, raspberry, and plum, with hints of vanilla and clove. Silky tannins balance the red-fruity tartness on the tongue.
*3-oz/10-oz only

 

Wooden Ruler
Whiskey 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.
