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
Point Heyes
Hazy DIPA
A nod to the terrible beauty that is Point Reyes, it’ll sneak up on you like the tides that ambush coastal hikers and drag them out to sea.
Mild Thing
English Dark Mild
The smaller, lighter cousin to porter, mild is traditionally served on cask at warmer temperatures and with just a touch of natural carbonation. Ours is lightly sweet upfront with a hint of graham cracker that ends with a quenchingly dry finish. The nose is all toasted bread crust, biscotti, and a dusting of cocoa; the palate is round and malty, with a touch of earthy East Kent Golding hops on the back end.
R2-DH
Hazy IPA
Wheeoh deet-deet! dweet. Rakau tweet boop verderp. Apricot, bleepy bleepy bloop. Wurm wurm. Riwaka! Bleerp! Mango, cheep cheep choop. blippidy blippidy. Pink grapefruit weeee--ooo! Beep.
Because
DH Hazy Pale Ale
This is only the second time we've released this beer and of course we tweaked the recipe. We added a little more Talus to the already plentiful dry-hop and woah! Key limes come to mind when you get a whiff of this batch. Plus a little bit of passionfruit, and a whole lotta pine
Blurrg Herder
WC IPA
After corralling and shodding my Blurrg, I crave a beer to wash down all that Arvala-7 dust -- a dry, bitter IPA with a sticky, dank aroma, maybe even a breath of mango as it goes down. Give me a clear beer. I can't stand that turbid blurrgshit. I have spoken.
Beskar
Milk Chocolate Stout w. Lactose, Vanilla Beans, and Cocoa Nibs
This is an ode to the metal used in Mandalorian armor. To celebrate Beskar's twinned attributes of strength and purity, we brewed a strong milk chocolate stout with cacao nibs, and Tahitian vanilla in its purest form. This is a night-ender because no other beer can stand up to it. This is the way.
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
