Cruzer Weisse
Santa Cruz-style Berliner Weisse
4.4% ABV • 5 IBU
Cruzer Weisse is our Santa Cruz version of 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.

 

Arius of Purrville
Toasted Rice Lager
4.8% ABV • 20 IBU
Arius of Purrville is named after an adventurous and legendary tabby cat from the land of the rising sun. Brilliant, crisp, and effervescent, it hints subtly of toasted rice and rewards each refreshing sip with a clean and bright lager finish.

 

Redwood Mountain Blonde
Blonde Ale
5.3% ABV • 26 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.

 

Encouraging Word
Saison w/ Local Sage 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!

 

On The Porch
American Pale Ale
5.6% ABV • 25 IBU
On the porch you can wave and chat or just sit back, observe, and appreciate, sheltered yet still a part of the wide world. On The Porch Pale Ale is an easy-drinking pale ale with bready malt flavors and a balanced, expressive hop profile.

 

Hi McKenzie!
Single Hop Hazy IPA
7% ABV • 35 IBU
Hi McKenzie! We’re impressed that you were bred to thrive where you’re planted in your Oregon soil and climate, and delighted that you’re named after the McKenzie River, one of the loveliest places on earth. Your multi-fruity, piney allure draws us in and makes us want to stay. You are an excellent addition to the hop world.

 

New Tune
Hazy IPA
6% ABV • 30 IBU
Brewers who sing are a wonderful thing. This IPA celebrates song-sharing as well as hops and malt. It’s loaded with tropical and stone fruit aromas along with accents of citrus and pine. Soft carbonation and a little malty sweetness provide backup harmony.

 

Uncle Dave’s
IPA w/ 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.

 

Hola Lola
West Coast IPA
6.7% ABV • 60 IBU
Lola was rescued from the streets of Baja and now frolics in the woods of Santa Cruz when she’s not hanging out at the brewery. We celebrate her arrival with this West Coast IPA that’s vibrant with pine and bursting with notes of grapefruit and pineapple. Exuberant Sultana and Chinook hops romp on a biscuity base of Admiral Maltings’ Maiden Voyage, resulting in a brew that will have you frolicking too.

 

Icebox Poem
Cold IPA
7.3% ABV • 60 IBU
Sultana, Simcoe, and Idaho 7 hops are showcased in this IPA brewed and fermented to emphasize a crisp, clean finish.

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.

 

Stacks of Stars
Hazy Double IPA
8% ABV • 68 IBU
A well-crafted hazy is like stacks of stars in a glass. Dry-hopped with Strata, Zappa, and Comet, this hazy double IPA sparkles with aromas and flavors of citrus, sweet tropical fruit, and dank, resinous pine. Expand your horizons with its cosmic juiciness.

 

Good Faith
Strong Ale
9% ABV • 65 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.

 

Scenic Stout
Export Stout
7% ABV • 50 IBU
Amazing panoramas await when you take the scenic route. Scenic Stout is a robust yet smooth stout with a rich aroma of bittersweet chocolate. Oats round out its roasty, deep, dark cocoa flavor. Scenic Stout is the way to go.

 

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.

 

Three Fawns
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Tripel
9.5% ABV • 23 IBU
Three Fawns is a Belgian-style tripel aged in American bourbon barrels. A boozy warmth redolent of vanilla, black pepper, and honey, along with soft berry notes, leads into a dry peppery finish influenced by oak.

 

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.
