This is the crowning achievement of our Anniversary series, a beer commemorating our 10 year anniversary by blending in special barrel-aged reserves from each year leading up to it.
HORCHATA-INSPIRED BLONDE ALE WITH RICE, CINNAMON AND VANILLA BEANS Horchata is a traditional, sweet, milky drink originating in Spain and Latin America that has become quite popular in Southern California, particularly with Mexican cuisine. Our take on the traditionally non-alcoholic drink is a blonde ale brewed with a heavy dosing of rice, cinnamon and fresh vanilla beans along with lactose for a little extra creamy character. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was carbonated horchata!
Mischief is a hoppy Belgian-style golden strong ale. This wickedly good golden ale is fiendishly dry-hopped with American hops to add a layer of complexity and mystery to its fruity, dry Belgian-style character. Citrus and resin diabolically combine with ripe melon, pear and slight peppery spice in a precariously effervescent mixture. Enjoy it, but you’ll want to keep an eye out
Few beer styles can match the delicate, sparkling character of the classic Berliner Weisse, with its light body and tart palate. It’s said that Napoleon’s troops referred to it as “The Champagne of the North,” high praise for beer, coming from Frenchmen. With Berliner Weisse, we pay tribute to the style, while giving it a distinctively American twist. Bright and thirst-quenching, the beer is enlivened by soft lactic notes.
Inspired by classic European lagers, our entire Brewing Team got together to create this truly collaborative beer that captures the essence of European tradition. The result, Spezial Pils, is our take on a German-style pilsner with a pleasant balance between light, grainy malt and spicy, floral hops. We lager it at freezing temperatures for an extended period to round out its delicate flavors and improve drinkability. The finish is crisp and clean with a pleasant dryness and subtle bitterness. Prost!
This is our take on a classic American Cream Ale. One of Peter Zien’s original homebrew recipes, this beer uses the addition of rice to create a light, flavorful maltiness. It also has a pleasant floral component from hops added to our hopback and during dry-hopping. The finish is crisp and refreshing, making this the perfect brew for a summer day.
With assertive American hop bitterness and aroma supported by a firm malt backbone, Racer X is an uncommon Double IPA - a bold ale that follows English traditions with a California twist.

Never content with leaving well enough alone, we just keep ducking with things. This is a remix of our classic Contender IPA with 150 pounds of toasted coconut added per batch. The outcome is an easy-drinking West Coast IPA, with a balance of citrusy and piney hops countered with a rich, nutty coconut taste that cools the palate. Available year round on draft and in 16oz cans.
