Lavender Lemonade
Hard Seltzer
We’ve got some Hard Lemonade for sale! And look at that color! 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 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. Also legit with a dram of Old Tom Gin.

Crushing Is Relative*
12° Czech-Style Pils
Employing the simplest list of ingredients: Bohemian Pilsner Malt, Czech Saaz hops, and lager yeast. We spent 8 weeks lagering until just right, and then filtered it to brilliant beautifulness. A lovely beer that we’re excited for you to try, as well as crush at relative speediness until that moment when your unrelenting mind calms and leisure takes its rightful grasp.

Vienna Lager
Vienna-Style Lager
The heavy base of Vienna malt sings the loudest out of this complicated and layered malt bill that includes only German grown malted barley. The malt derived flavors of graham cracker, toasted wheat bread, and candied walnuts may sound like a beer big enough to chew on, but instead the sweetness is restrained and drinkability remains present. You’ll get just a dab of mid-palate sweetness in the sip that all gets washed away in the crisp finish. Ps. It’s a lager!

Beers With Dad
West Coast Pale Ale w/ Citra, Mosaic & Galaxy
West Coast Pale Ale w/ Columbus Cryo, Citra & Chinook
For all those Dads out there that refuse to drink all these seltzer-milkshake-fruit bomb IPAs, and whatever else the kids are drinking these days, here’s one for you! What does it taste like? Well, it tastes like beer, and hits with hoppy layers of fresh mango, papaya candy and apricot skins. It’s dry and bitter, and easy drinking.

The End Is Just the Beginning
California IPA w/ Strata
Years ago when west coast IPA died, we cried our eyes out and did our absolute darndest to keep our heads up about it. With the resurrection of this clear & bitter style, we utilized a hop variety that is at the beginning of it's life, Strata. Enjoyment is just the beginning. Showcasing the lighter color we associate with our California IPA's, this beer is all about that satisfyingly clean bitterness, it’s lean body, and flavorful layers of stinky guava, pineapple candy, and Riesling from all those rad hops. A fun marriage of new with tried-and-true.

Sink Or Swim
Hazy IPA w/ Ekuanot, Mosaic & Simcoe
A Hazy IPA chalk full of more hops than we should probably admit! Brewed with 40% unmalted wheat and a flavorful yeast, this tasty buddy is a fun mélange of Ekuanot, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops.

First Try (No Warm Ups)
DDH Hazy DIPA W/ Citra, El Dorado, Chinook
Every once in a while we’re in this neat little spot where we haven’t predetermined what dry hops we want to use on these monster DIPA’s. We’ll stand around, sniff, sip, and pontificate on what we think may work out best. Our esteemed Cellarperson, Jose, was in the driver’s seat for the first time, and put together a magical blend of dry hops that hit the bullseye like a pro. Tasting notes? Jose says "A healthy serving of white grape, melon, and tangerine. Tastes like peaches and cream at first, if you ask me, and finishes with a subtle piney bitterness."

A Collab w/ Alvarado Street Brewery DDH Hazy TIPA w/ Citra & Riwaka
Our good bud JC Hill flew down from @alvaradostreetbrewery a few weeks ago and we totally hung out for the day! We brewed up this huge hoppy beer together, talked shop, drank a bunch of beers, played some ping pong, and then went to this super sweet Izakaya spot for dinner. He sent us down some of his super hard to get Riwakwa hops from New Zealand for us to use in the dry hop, and then we blended together 3 different lots of Citra in with it to hit that profile just right.
But how does it taste? It’s full-bodied, with a huge juiciness that tastes more like Kern’s Apricot Nectar, than Kern’s Apricot Nectar even tastes like Kern’s Apricot Nectar!! Sure there’re other things going on, but that Kerns thing is really all that matters.

Come Stride With Me
Ruby Brown Ale // Brewed To Support Cystic Fibrosis Research
We've made this beer for our dear friend Lucy, who lives with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Our hope is to raise awareness and some funds to hopefully find a cure for this rare condition. Starting today, we';; be selling this on draft at both spots, where $1 of every pint of this beer sold will go to the @cf_foundation via the @cff_oc
Our Ruby Brown Ale is kinda like a cross between an Irish Red Ale and English Brown Ale, where it leans heavier on caramel malt depth, and then goes lighter on the mix of nutty and roasty yumminess that finishes crisp and dry. Medium in body, pint worthy and super fun to drink. So much so, you should have two...you know, for charity!

Passionfruit In Berlin
Berliner Weisse w/ Passionfruit
Rolling through the week here with a new variation on our fruited Berliner Weisse series! You probably put two and two together based off the name above, and maybe I don’t need to tell ya, but I will anyway… this one has Passionfruit! Yep, loads of pureed passionfruit was added during fermentation to create something that is heavily passionfruit forward, with just the right amount of sourness, and a wonderfully bone-dry finish.

We Don't Know Until We're There*
Foeder Aged & Bottle Conditioned Old School Saison
Brewed in the early Fall of 2020, fermented in our ancient French Oak Foeder, and then bottled in February of 2021, this one gets its fizz and funk from the use of our house culture, and a long conditioning time in the bottle. The bitterness is firm, with a refreshing acidity, and a flavor profile of nectarine skins, orange oil, and bay leaf.

The Taste of the Unknown
Foeder Aged Farmhouse Ale
Our love for low acid mixed culture beer is something that we're proud to showcase in our little beer program. We continue to learn that patience is a key ingredient in these beers, as just the keg conditioning process took 7 months to complete. Brewed with raw wheat, pilsner malt, some noble hops, and then fermented in our French Oak Foeder in early 2021 at our spot in Orange. The result is super soft on the palate, with the bitterness and acidity both restrained, and the stone fruit and funk being at a wonderfully complex level. Tasting notes? Things like orange flower water, nectarine flesh, Wheaties, and Pinkberry original.

Escapism For the Travel-Aversed
A Collab w/ Fonta Flora Appalachian-Style White Ale w/Fresh California Yuzu & California Honey
We made an unspiced white ale, aged it for one year in stainless with an Appalachian mixed culture that our pals from Fonta Flora, Hawt Tawd & Jer Bear, sent us from their hometown. We then soaked it on Fresh California Yuzu zest and bottle conditioned it with Local OC Honey. The result is a super refreshing white ale, that exercises restraint and focuses on nuance in ways that make us brewers happy.

Proper Gubbins
English-Style Barleywine
A blend of 2 batches. One brewed in Nov 2020 and the other brewed in January 2021, this was aged in stainless until December 2021, and then canned a couple weeks back. A beer that celebrates some of the good qualities that age and slow oxidation can play on a beer of this strength.
The color is like rich mahogany. The body is thick, with a good, well rounded bitterness to match. The flavor profile is all mission figs, fruit cake, and rum & cola
