Pale and crystal malts provide the backbone and golden hue, while Summit, Simcoe & Chinook hops do the dancing on your tongue. Late hop additions to the kettle and dry hopping in the fermenter give our India Pale Ale both hop aroma and flavor worth diggin' for!

Named after the isotope essential for nuclear grade weapons, this "Weapons Grade Ale" is the hop bomb you didn't see coming! At 100 bittering units, PU 240 captures the explosive hop flavor and aroma necessary to achieve a critical mass that you won't find in other high-hop ales. A classified and combustible amount of Summit and Galena hops along with a double dry-hop bombardment of Simcoe, Amarillo and Centennial contribute to PU 240's high rate of hop fusion.

Our most award-winning beer, Gold Country Pilsner, is brewed as a traditional American-style Pilsner - a popular beer enjoyed by early settlers in our region. Our Pilsner is pale in color, has brilliant clarity, and has a soft white head. The subtle upfront biscuit flavor balances well with the delicate hops contributing to this beer's dry, snappy finish.

BREWER'S NOTES
A touch of maize lends a subtle sweetness and light body.

ZZ Hop triple IPA was brewed as a tribute to a true hop fanatic known in these parts as “The Hop Hunter.” The elusive bearded Sierra Hop Hunter can be found in the mountainous regions of Northern California. While not officially nocturnal, he prefers to hunt hops in low-light conditions for extended periods.

Triple the hop isomerization from three different forms of Chinook, Centennial, and Amarillo hops. An intense floral and piney aroma with an explosion of hop flavor quickly turns to sharp bitterness, followed by a brief encounter with malted barley.

One sip will make your tongue feel like a hop oil spill has occurred just past your lips.

With over six months of aging, this “wine-strength” ale has been greatly enhanced by its extended slumbering contact with the Whiskey barrels. A bouquet of soft oak, plumb, and raisin gives way to a slight whiskey profile, which balances nicely with complex malt and a gentle hop presence.

If you can find the willpower, cellar this unique Ale as it will continue to mature and reward.

An old dog with new tricks! We originally brewed this beer after a gathering with friends at O'Brien's Pub in San Diego. A common thought was brought to light: Why should a brewery produce only one IPA? The isotope IPA series was born.

Brewed as a single IPA, hopped like a double IPA, Californium (named after an artificial isotope suitable for medical-grade use) dutifully employs the "C" hops that were made famous in the formidable years of California's craft beer scene. Our brewers brought in some new hops, Comet and Idaho 7, to add new hop fabulousness to this old favorite! Light and dry, a true California-style IPA.

Available whenever we have extra tank space!
