Armistice Brewing Co.
As siblings, we know first-hand how beer brings people together. The name Armistice gestures toward Richmond's place in twentieth-century geopolitics, but it also describes what brewing beer did for our relationship as brother and sister. We started brewing together as a way of coping and catching up not long after our mother was diagnosed with cancer. When mom’s health took a turn for the worse we left Los Angeles, where Gregory was pursuing a career in film and television and Alex was finishing her doctorate, and moved to our family’s home in Napa to help care for mom. We continued brewing beer together in our family’s big red barn and after winning several prestigious beer competitions we started hatching plans to open a commercial operation so we could share our beer with more people. After our mother passed in 2015 the barn was torn down, but we saved the wood to incorporate into the taproom bar in a nod to our family roots.

Beers
Beach Treats
West Coast Pilsner
In Montucky they drink Cold Snacks, but on the West Coast we crush Beach Treats. It’s the beer of our crispy dreams: a light, dry, crackery lager with that West Coast hop character that hits you like the snap of a rolled up beach towel. The nose is equal parts pine resin and grapefruit rind and the mouthfeel is shatteringly crisp.
Salad Bar
Hazy IPA
Introducing "Salad Bar," the pinnacle of our single-hop "salad series" IPAs. This beautiful Hazy IPA is dry-hopped with our meticulously selected Citra, Mosaic, El Dorado, and Simcoe hops. It's a jubilant tribute to our most cherished ingredient. Year after year, our brewers venture to Yakima, Washington, meticulously sifting through countless lots to find the perfect expression of each varietal.
IPiñA
DH Piña Colada DIPA
With 420 lbs of pineapple, 25 lbs of toasted coconut, lactose, it's a lotta colada
Saison Vraiment
Belgian Saison
This traditional take on a continental style is drier than a hef, more interesting than a wheat beer, and redolent of earth and spice. The two are not dissimilar but the spelt imparts a nice touch of earthiness. We also let the temperature of fermentation rise freely with the yeast activity, which led to a much more expressive phenolic profile that leans toward clove and other moluccan spices.
Tesserae
West Coast Double IPA
Mosaic brings a bright medley of berries to the nose, along with tropical fruit notes such as mango and pineapple. El Dorado, named after the mythical city of gold that eluded Spanish and English imperialists and plunderers for centuries, compliments the tropical notes in Mosaic and adds watermelon, unripe stone fruit, and citrus zest.
Sad Taco
Hazy Pale Ale
The sad little sibling to our crowd favorite hazy IPA Taco Money, Sad Taco packs a similar punch but in a smaller, lower-ABV format. If taco money is tips, a sad taco is when there just ain’t enough in the tip jar to get a full-sized order. But a soft, juicy, aromatic hazy pale ale with simcoe and el dorado ought to turn that frown upside down.
Handsome Bouquet
DDH West Coast IPA
Handsome is as handsome does, and what this handsome bouquet does is flirt with the senses with notes of starfruit, berry pie, and sticky nugs thanks to a tasty combo of Mosaic, Strata, & El Dorado
Juice Queen
The unalienable right to juice is like unto the divine right of queens. Settle into your bar-side throne as a nose of passion fruit and citrus trumpets a fine lot of Citra, while African Queen crowns the royal progress with lemongrass.
Taco Money
Hazy IPA
This beer is all candied orange, mango, and papaya.
