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!

 

Redwood Mountain Blonde
Blonde Ale
5.3% ABV • 23 IBU
Originally brewed for the Redwood Mountain Faire, this blonde ale is a favorite for sipping beneath our beloved, towering redwoods. Delightfully bright and refreshing, its low bitterness and subtle malt expression will win you over.

 

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.

 

Hefe Good Time
Hefeweizen
4.7% ABV • 11 IBU
Refreshing, with lively carbonation and a gorgeous golden glow, Hefe Good Time showcases the traditional fruity, spicy Hefeweizen yeast characteristics of banana and clove. Wheat provides a soft, creamy texture and a bready background for the yeast’s fun flavors. Start up the music! It’s time to Hefe Good Time!

 

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.

 

Yomp
Bavarian Farmhouse Ale
5.5% ABV • 20 IBU
Yomp’s job at our brewery is to provide solid comfort and cheer. He inspired this beer based on an ancient style originating in the rural forests outside Munich, an all-barley ale fermented on traditional German wheat beer yeast. Fruity and quaffable, its yeast-derived pear and banana notes sit on a malty base with a sweet, bready undertone. A light bitter note at the end makes for a crisp finish. Prost!

 

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.

 

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.

 

Hi Amarillo!
Single Hop Hazy IPA
6.6% ABV • 35 IBU
Hi Amarillo! You surprised us all, just popping up in a field of Liberty hops one day! We’re so glad you were discovered. Your little cones give such aromatic bursts of sweet orange and lemon candy. We love the hints of cantaloupe, ripe mango, papaya, and honeyed peach.You were quite a find!

 

Magically Transformed
Hazy IPA
6.2% ABV • 50 IBU
When hops and yeast play together under the right conditions, hop components are transformed, and previously hidden aromas are unlocked. On a resinous background, this full-bodied IPA reveals delectable aromas and flavors of lemon, tropical fruits, and green melon with a squeeze of lime.

 

Follow The Creek
West Coast IPA
6.8% ABV • 40 IBU
“Follow the Creek” is always good advice, whether you’re seeking adventure upstream or finding your way home. This IPA will refresh you wherever you end up. Aromas of pine and citrus lead to lemon drops on the palate, enhanced by the sweet, grassy character of California grown and malted pilsner malt.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Tequila Barrel-Aged Scenic Stout
Export Stout Aged in Tequila Barrels
8.2% ABV • 50 IBU
Secret Stash Alert! This export stout’s roasty, chocolatey flavors are rounded out by the addition of flaked oats. Aged in tequila barrels.

 

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.
