A Sparkling Non-Alcoholic Lemon Seltzer w/ Lavender & a Kiss of Sweetness A Sparkiling Non-Alcoholic Lemon Seltzer w/ Lavender & a Kiss Of Sweetness Everyone's favorite seltzer kicks off 2026 with a N/A twist! We took the recipe you know and love, and changed as little as possible for this special offering. We turned the abv down to 0.4% but kept the Lavy, the Lemmy, and of course, the purple way up at 100. And look at that color! Same as with the OG Lavy recipe, that beautiful natural color comes from the use of an insane amount of lavender pods that we use to brew a ginormous, fresh batch of lavender tea. That then gets blended with a N/A version of our lemonade-style seltzer. It drinks pretty balanced, with the acidity and sweetness hitting at just the right level, and then a soft tannic hit of dryness from the lavender. Enjoy straight out of the can, or pour over ice. 0.04% ABV

This one is Californian through and through!!! Very pale in color, wonderfully dry, squeaky clean and snappy on the bitterness, with a lovely resinous hop intensity that shows in both the sniff and sips. Tasting notes?

Gin & Tonic-style Hard Seltzer Conditioned on a bed of fresh spruce tips, and then hit with a dab of cane sugar sweetness, lime, tangerine, juniper, and quinine so that this thing sing songs of Suuuuuuumer! Not your classic G&T, where the juniper jumps out of the glass, but instead that juniper nestles in with those others ingredients as a compliment to create something more contemporary and oh so refreshing. Served over ice with a lime wheel. 12.0% ABV

This may not be the buddy you can rely on to scare away all the seagulls from your snacks, but it's just a beer...what did you expect? It's an American Light Lager through and through, with all the drinkability you hoped it would have. Best served ice cold with some tasty waves

Mexican Style Lager w/ Lime & Salt (served on ice) A Mexican-style Lager w/ Lime Juice & Sea Salt This sessionable concoction is something you can drink glass after glass of, without tipping the scales too much, ya know? Don’t confuse this one with a Michelada (Clamato / lime / umami / secrets), that’s completely different! This is a Chelada, a Mexican-style Lager that gets hit with a good level of salt, a generous portion of lime, and is served over ice with a salt rim. It’s insanely refreshing and fun to drink. 4.0% ABV

Italian-Style Pils w/ Saphir Max out of our Costa Mesa brewery lead the charge on this one, using Italian coastal barley and German grown Saphir hops. His love for Horror movies is shown in the name and through the art, paying homage to an over the top Italian Horror movie from the 70’s. Wonderfully aromatic with a dried lemon zest vibe along with some sage. The body is light on the palate, but the hops fill it out to create a wonderful tannin structure and a legit snappy bite in the finish. 5.2% ABV

A Hoppy French-Style Saison w/ Petit Blanc Hops Papa has been dreaming of this one for a while! It first got put onto paper, and now it’s here in liquid form! Although we don’t brew this style often, we thought it was the perfect time to do so given how wonderfully warm this summer weather has been. Papa wanted to focus on all French ingredients on this one to keep it as authentic as possible. Using pilsner malt from Champagne, a French saison yeast strain, and Petit Blanc hops, which were originally grown in the Champagne-Ardenne region near Burgundy. At first glance, you’ll notice the pure white pillowy head that everyone associates with saison. The aroma gives off bright lemony citrus along with an array of peppercorn and mild clove. The palate comes off fresh and spritzy, with a firm bitterness that carries it through the perceived sweetness of the yeast character. Finishing clean and dry, it begs for another sip… and another… and another! Magnifique! 6.0% ABV

That time of year has come! It’s our very own lagerbier meant for celebrating the marriage of Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese! This year’s batch uses all German ingredients, like always, gets its carbonation naturally via spunding, and is then lagered until just right. We’ll keep celebrate’n year after year after year, since we can’t get enough of this liter worthy wonder

Like a domino effect of encouragement, just sink a yummo pint and smile, cause this thing will FOR SURE solve (no it actually won’t) all your problems! Tasting notes?

A Wet Hop DDH West Coast IPA w/ Whole Cone Strata, Strata Cryo & Strata Hyperboost ASAP As Possible 26 // A Fresh Hop'd DDH West Coast IPA w/ Fresh picked Strata from our Pals @ Indie Hops & Coleman, along with Strata T90, Strata Cryo, Strata Hyperboost, 7.0% abv This one only comes once a year….when your pals from @‌indiehops call you up and tell you that they’re gonna pick some fresh Strata from one of your absolute favorite hop farms (@‌colemanagriculture in Oregon) at 4am...in the morning, and then throw them on a plane at 8am, and then that you can pick them up at John Wayne Airport at 11am, you do it! We did, and then had them fresh cones in wort by 3:41pm...in the afternoon, that same day. We used a whopping 15 POUNDS PER BBL on the hot side, and the smell of the brewery (and the inside of the van) was insane! After fermentation, we plus’d it up this year and hit it again with even more hops, using Strata T90, Strata Cryo, and Strata Hyperboost all from the same farm, using mo

DDH West Coast IPA w/ Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, Nelson Cryo, Krush Cryo & Simcoe Cryo We’ve been working on this one in the background for a moment and are excited to finally bring it out to ya! This one is a modern West Coast IPA through and through! Where the color is wonderfully pale, the hops hit with all the New School flairs, and the bitterness is firm and snappy. Tasting notes? Suuuuuuuper fresh nugs of the Devil’s Lettuce jump right out of the glass, without any garlic or onion vibes, that go right into heavy zesty citrus, and Cactus Cooler-like goodies.

Made with a mountain of old fashioned oats, we keep this thing as light in color as we can before its double dry hopped. Milky-yellowy-white, smooth and creamy, with hoppy layers of strawberry smoothie, basil flowers, and pear. Finishes with those white frosting vibes that we can't get enough of

A Barrel-Fermented Mixed-Culture Sour Beer w/ Passionfruit & Guava Another release from our lil sour beer program out of our very own Rage Cave™ ! Each batch is fermented in large French oak barrels and left to mature for our house yeast and bacteria culture to create a depth of flavor that can be treasured in each sniff and sip. The Passionfruit and Guava are added second, and allowed to ferment until wonderfully dry. The whole batch is then keg conditioned, allowing this third fermentation to carbonate the beer and develop delicious depth over the course of 6 months. The result? The palate on this one is our fave yet, with a refreshing acidity that melds well with a soft tannin profile that fills it out. We think it tastes like dried apricots, leather, and a rad mix of guava and passionfruit. Come get it. Draft only. 5.0% ABV

Our Finest Czech-Style Pilsner w/ Saaz We brewers are our happiest when we can take our time making a lager that we’re all stoked to drink. Using a mix of floor malted pilsner malt, Saaz hops from the motherland, a lager yeast that helps express the maltiness of the beer, and spund’d to create tiny bubbles of carbonation. Compared to German Pils, you’ll find this a bit richer and fuller, with a dab of mid palate sweetness that pairs well with the fine bitterness you can expect from this type of beer. Tasting notes? Think doughy bread, alpine herbs, and a lil honey. 4.6% ABV
