Join us in imbibing in our latest crack at the latter, our “Statement of Westy.”Like it’s most recent predecessor, SOW is crisp, clean, and (obviously) hop-forward—but we like to play around in the kitchen and keep folks on their toes. Our malt bill got a little bit of a facelift: now featuring a base malt designed specifically for IPAs from the folks over at Gambrinus Malting to provide balanced sweetness and body that allows our hops to really shine. In the kettle, Cascade, El Dorado, and Centennial CGX hops come together to give us plenty of bite, while a hefty dry hop of Cascade, Chinook CGX, and Columbus CGX provide a classically strong nose of citrus and pine that will have you thinking you’re sipping on the West Coast.

The Scimitar – Red Rye IPA

May the Fourth be with you all!! We’ve got a banger of a beer going on tap today. Being the nerds that we all are, we put our heads together and came up with a Red Rye IPA to celebrate the holiest day in all of Star Wars nerdom. Enter from left stage, and named after Darth Maul’s iconic Sith Infiltrator starfighter… The Scimitar! Built on a mixed base of brand new Mars malt with a smidge of Pilsner to give it a lovely red/mahogany hue. A supporting cast of Dextrin, Flaked Rye, & Red Rye Crystal lend depth, nuance, & further color refinement. The hop trio of Bravo, Mackinac, & Strata CGX were dropped in classic kettle additions. Mackinac & Strata CGX were utilized again for a full, yet restrained, dry hopping regimen. A stalwart Chico yeast strain rounds it all out nicely while letting the malt characteristics & hop tones shine in equal measure. Except flavor/aroma notes of: assorted citrus, pine, light floral, & a touch of fruit punch. The malty backbone refines the edges and blends well with the hop profile. Quite balanced & damn tasty…Get yourself on down to the taproom today and snag some of the gem! Cheers, y’all!

Terptastic! – Terpene-Laden IPA

ABV: 6.4%

Terptastic! – Terpene-Laden IPA

This newest Westy IPA making its way into our line up hits all notes y'all love & enjoy about the vaunted, hop-forward style... but with a couple added punches... Built upon a mixed base of Golden Promise & pilsner with touches of dextrin, white wheat, and acidulated malts making up the grist. The trio of Lotus, Amarillo, & Eureka hops were dropped in the kettle and varying points to utilize their excellent properties. Amarillo & Eureka also made up the substantial, yet restrained, dry-hopping additions. Now for the really neat parts... We utilized a super cool yeast strain from our pals at Berkeley Yeast that gives off terpenes (potent aroma/flavor compounds) that mimic freshie-fresh Cascade hops without using said hops at all. To back that up, we added some MOAR terps from our buds at AbstraxTech that mimic Chinook hops... also without adding (you guessed it) any of those said hops either. The aromatic/flavor contributions from the combination of the separate terpene sources, plus the dry-hop additions, make for a damn fine experience for your palates! Bright & bursting with classic citrus, pine, & floral notes all over the dang place... come on down & snag some of this refreshing bevy!

With that in mind, we crafted a quintessential haze-craze IPA to imbibe. Built upon a base of Pilsner malt, backed up by hefty doses of white & torrified wheats & gobs of oats. Azacca & Idaho 7 work together to create flavors/aromas of punchy citrus, bright mango, & a hint of dank pine.

House Pub Ale – English Style Mild

As a tip of the hat & a big nod to traditional ales across the proverbial pond, we crafted up an English-Style Mild as our House Pub Ale! The malt bill is made up of 100 percent British malts. Maris Otter, Golden Naked Oats, Pale Chocolate, Crystal T-50, Dextrin, & Brown Malt meld together to offer up varied notes of toast, nuttiness, light toffee, Tootsie Rolls, & a wisp of roast. And while malt is undoubtedly the star of the show, a traditional English yeast strain adds slight notes of oaky wood & a bit o’ body too.

A grist of pilsner, Vienna, and white wheat with a sprinkle of sour malt make up the body of this beer, creating a lightly grainy background, where a blend of Altus and Saphir hops provide balance and subtle noble floral aromas that allow the wonderfully fruity characteristics of the kölsch yeast strain to shine through.

3 Bears Cream Ale

Not too bitter, not too light, you’ll find this classic American Cream Ale to be just right when you visit our den.

Mallet Mike’s Rye Porter

ABV: 5.5%

Collaboration with Mike the Electrician

Mallet Mike’s Rye Porter - Collaboration with Mike the Electrician

Named after our electrician, Mike, whose mallet the production team borrowed often. The mallet itself actually fell into the mash accidentally while making this beer. Our head brewer, John, was flabbergasted to see it come out of the mash/lauter tun while he was graining out. Confusion turned to laughter & the name for this robust dark ale was born. Built upon a mixed base of stout malt and Maris Otter, which provide a smooth & slightly nutty canvas to layer specialty malts. White wheat, dextrin, & a mix of varied roasted & caramel malts give off color, complexity, & nuance. Moderate doses of flaked & crystal rye lend a light dryness & blend well into the whole.

ABV: 5.5%
