*DBA // British Pale Ale // 5% // 30 IBU
DBA is regarded as a California classic, and stands as an iconic tribute to traditional cask-fermented English ales. Pale malts create a smooth middle with ribbons of caramel, English toffee and toasted oak.

*Nitro DBA // British Pale Ale on Nitro // 5% // 30 IBU
A Firestone Walker classic is recast in our 20th anniversary year as DBA gets nitro treatment for the first time ever, resulting in a fresh twist on a proven favorite.

*UDBA // Unfiltered British Pale // 5.0% // 30 IBU
100% Oak Fermented. Biscuity malts, spicy Noble hop and subtle oak aroma leap from the glass to greet the nose. The fermentation process introduces American oak and vanilla flavors that complement the caramel malts of this beer.

*Pale 31 // California Style Pale Ale // 4.9% // 38 IBU
Beautiful floral and citrus hop aromas greet the nose with undertones of lightly toasted malt. Crisp pale and crystal malts offer a hint of sweetness. Subtle hop bitterness offers a refreshing finish.

*Pivo // Hoppy Pilsner // 5.3% // 40 IBU
Pivo Hoppy Pils offers impeccable balance with floral aromatics, spicy herbal nuances, and bergamot zest and lemongrass notes from dry hopping with German Saphir hops.

*Union Jack // American IPA // 7.5% // 70 IBU
This originator of the “Jack” IPA family is double dry-hopped to create bold grapefruit, tangerine and citrus flavors, all contrasted by pale malt sweetness to rein in the intensity.

*Easy Jack // Session IPA // 4.5% // 45 IBU
Brewed and dry hopped with a globetrotting selection of newer hop varieties from Germany, New Zealand and North America. Delivers massive hop aromas, surprising dimension, and a signature malt balance.

*Luponic Distortion 004 // Revolving Hop Series IPA // 5.9% // 59 IBU
Within the 7 hop blend that makes Luponic Distortion 004, 4 distinct hops from South Africa take the lead. Boasting more tropical fruit notes are two experimental hops, which also bring a bit of floral and white grape properties. The third and fourth hops bring a passion fruit note and more classically noble profile respectively.

*Nitro Merlin // Milk Stout // 5.5% // 27 IBU
When Velvet Merlin is brewed with milk sugar to create Nitro Merlin Milk Stout, the effect is similar to adding cream to your dark roasted coffee. The result is a stout that is still dark and roasty, but now with a mellow sweetness and added roundness of body.

A light, refreshing blonde ale crafted for the California lifestyle. Subtle malt sweetness is balanced by a touch of hops, creating a versatile beer with a clean finish.

*Wookey Jack // Unfiltered Black Rye IPA // 8.3% // 80 IBU
A riff on the familiar Black IPA style, gnarly on the outside yet refined on the inside. It has a spicy grain quality, while double dry-hopping with Citra and Amarillo hops brings a citrusy dimension to the aroma profile.

*Oaktoberfest // Marzen Bier // 5.0% // 24 IBU
A proper German Märzen bier. Traditional imported malts offer subtle honey-like aromas with hints of Noble hop spice. The stars of this brew are the imported Pilsner and Vienna malts that offer malty sweetness that carry through to the end. German Hallertau hops add rich Noble hop character to balance this exceptional Marzen.

*2016 Parabola // Russian Imperial Stout // 13.1% // 79 IBU
Flavors of rich, chewy roasted malts, charred oak and bourbony vanilla. Parabola bares its teeth with its impenetrable black hue and soaring alcohol, yet its bite remains refined with a silky, balanced finish.

*2016 Helldorado // Blonde Barley Wine // 11.8% // 25 IBU
A super blonde barley wine that could still carry the strong barrel character imparted by aging the beer in retired spirits barrels. The result is an unlikely brew whose light complexion belies a full-bodied attitude and intense barrel expression.
