Beers
It's a Sprint, Not a Marathon
DDH TIPA
This beer is bursting at the seems with flavors of ripe mango, pineapple, kiwi, stone fruit, and melon.
Filament
West Coast IPA
Filament is dry and danky with a tongue coating bitterness that sticks around. It has a nice earthy aspect with bright fruit flavors. You'll find notes of green grapes, light stone fruit, green papaya, mango, with an herbal and danky finish. It crushes hard and the dryness gives it a great drinkability.
Motel Helles
Helles Lager
The beer showcases a bread/cracker malt profile from the 100% Weyermann Pilsner Malt base. It is balanced by the use of 2 German hops, Magnum which was used for bittering, along with Hallertau Mittelfruh later in the boil for a bit of aroma and flavor.
Shark City Punch
Lager
We have a new sour ale, Shark City Punch, that's pleasantly tart and bursting with juicy fruit flavors from the generous pineapple, cherry, raspberry, & tangerine that we added.
Mixtape
West Coast Pale Ale
Mixtape is a danky little crusher with a ton of flavor for a super sessionable abv. It's dry and grippy with delicious flavors of passionfruit, orange zest, berry, peach, grapefruit, and mango with a nice floral quality. In addition to the super expressive Nectaron, we're also highlighting our newest hand selected Mosaic along with Vista hops, a new release from the USDA public breeding program.
Lifted
West Coast IPA
While there is a nice stickiness from the Mosaic whirlpool addition and some wafting aromas of cannabis from the Strata dry hop, this WC brings some killer fruit expressions along for the ride as well. Vivid flavors of melon, lime, papaya, and strawberry are supported by a moderate bitterness that frames in the fruity and lightly dank flavors that this beer brings to the table.
Champion Of The Sun
Hazy DIPA
We packed this Hazy DIPA with some super oily and intense hops that bring a medly or rad flavors to your mouth! It's bursting with candied lychee, red berry, apricot, guava, kumquat, stonefruit, & pineapple. It's soft and fluffy with a nice juicy body that's perfect after a long day of Charlie work.
