Limited Release Beers
Our seasonal, small batch beers (listed newest to oldest)
'Love Is In The Ale'
Fruited Pale Ale - 5.7% ABV
‘Love Is In The Ale’ was our Valentines Day beer last year that we weren’t able to make in time this year due to our new brew system getting installed. This years batch doesn’t disappoint and tastes great with this heat! We started with a Pale Ale base brewed with Hibiscus Flowers and Rose Hips and added pounds of Strawberry puree! This beer drinks like a herbal strawberry summertime tea mixed with chewy Strawberry bon-bon centers!
Available in the taproom for $6 16oz pours and 4x12oz cans to-go for $14 each.
'Tigers Blood Hard Soda'
Hard Soda - 6.0% ABV
Our mad scientists have been hard at work in the lab, getting ready for this heat wave and came up with our first “Hard Soda”. Its pretty tasty! Its packed with strawberry, watermelon, and coconut that carry juicy, fruity, hard candy flavors that make it dangerously drinkable!
Available in the taproom for $5 16oz pours only - no cans but we'll fill your growler!
'West Coast Showers Bring Pink Flowers'
West Coast IPA w/ Hibiscus - 8.5% ABV
‘West Coast Showers Bring Pink Flowers’ started as a simple West Coast IPA using the 2022 @yakimachief hop blend. This 5th Annual blend consists of HBC 630, Idaho Gem®, Loral®, Talus® and Triumph hops. But we thought, “this beer needs to be pink!” So we added pounds of Hibiscus to the boil for a West Coast IPA unlike any others that we’ve had! This beer made with these female beer lovers finished at a strong 8.5% ABV and came out a dark blushed red color. The hop blend worked great with the hibiscus, making it taste more like a tea, than a beer. We get grassy notes from the hops and a strawberry tea flavor with lingering dryness that makes this beer very drinkable!
Available in the taproom for $5 12oz pours and 4x12oz cans to-go for $16. We’ll be donating $1 for each 12oz pour sold in our taproom, and $2 for each 4-pack to The Pink Boots Society. These donations help them raise funds for Pink Boots scholarships that support their mission to assist, inspire, and encourage the professional development and education of women in our industry!

'Greetings from Helles'
Helles Lager - 5.5% ABV

'Dignowity Common'
California Common/Steam Beer - 5.6% ABV

It’s a light amber hybrid style unique to the US that dates back to the late 1800’s in San Francisco, California when refrigeration was a luxury item. Brewers at the time improvised by pumping their hot wort to shallow open top bins on their roof, so the cool air coming off the Pacific Ocean would chill the wort faster.
