LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT OUR BEERS...

BEERS BY US!

Lavender Lemonade

Hard Seltzer w/ Lavender & Lemon

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.

5.0% ABV

Painkiller Slushee

Pineapple // Coconut // Orange

Green Cheek has Slushees?! Yep! We sure do, Pally. We come up with a fresh flavor every week, so be sure to come on by and check out our latest creation! This weeks slush is “Painkiller” made with Pineapple, Coconut, Orange, & topped with a dusting of Nutmeg & a Lime Wheel!

6.0% ABV

Pierre's Paloma

A Paloma-Style Hard Seltzer

Inspired by the Paloma cocktail, Pierre has been hard at work these last few months trying to create the most perfect version of this yummo refresher using only the purest ingredients. Pink grapefruit juice, lots of grapefruit zest, and cane sugar come together with just the right amount of booze, acidity, and richness for that perfect sip of vacation vibes. You can enjoy this one at our spot, or take home cans to enjoy at yours. Served with a 'lil ice and a fresh grapefruit wheel.

6.0% ABV

Couldn't Find the Words

Austrian-Style Pilsener w/ Styrian Golding Celeia

Noticeably hop forward from sniff to sip, but well integrated, dry and easy drinking, this lager beer uses a hop varietal with an herbal quality that is nearly green tea-like, and a spice character that has a delicate nutmeg and black pepper vibe. The beer still remains old world in character, and seems like a long standing classic example, instead of something we just dreamed up.

4.1% ABV

The Internet Said

An 11° Czech-style Pilsner

Our Lager Lounge out of O’side is at it again with another absolute banger! Jeff takes the classic route for this one using Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner malt along with copious amounts of Czech Saaz hops during the brew to make it taste and look the part. We felt like 12° was too much body, and 10° wasn’t enough, so we went right down the middle for a beer that drinks just the way we like it. It highlights our favorite hop for this…Saaz! Saaz! Saaz!

4.6% ABV

Ceremonious Reception

Original Americal Lager

Daaaaaaang! This weather is so crazy hot right now that all we can think about is the most ultimate refreshing lager beer around to drink with our favorite Pallys™. With a focus on super cold crushability, our Original American Lager is the only thing that’ll do the trick! The lovely addition of rice and corn lightens up the body just right for a drinking experience that is wonderfully nuanced and easy drinking.

5.0% ABV

German For Light

Helles-Style Lager

Listen up Lager Pallys™, Jeff has another liter worthy classic coming out of our O’side spot that you’ll need to come in for, cause this one is draft only. Similar to Bier (our Helles that we’ve made so many times here at GC), but with a different yeast strain and pilsner malt. The result is a touch richer and more full than our normal take. It’s lovely. Fresh baked bread like aromatics and flavor, with a soft roundness on the palate, and just enough hop bitterness to maintain excellent drinkability.

5.0% ABV

No Flat Roads

Belgian-style Blonde Ale w/ Adeena

Our journey to (hopeful) perfection continues as we explore different ingredients for this beer style. On this batch, we used a different yeast strain from Belgium, as well as a new world noble-type varietal from our pals at @royfarms called Adeena. The combo of the two, along with that Euro Pilsner malt and Spelt, create a flavor profile of wildflowers, pear skins, black pepper, and lemon zest. Wonderfully dry, with a dab of mid palate sweetness.

5.2% ABV

Zombi Shark Fight

An Italian-style Pilsner

Max out of our Costa Mesa brewery lead the charge on this one, using Italian coastal barley and German grown Saphir hops. His love for Horror movies is shown in the name and through the art, paying homage to an over the top Italian Horror movie from the 70’s. Wonderfully aromatic with a dried lemon zest vibe along with some sage. The body is light on the palate, but the hops fill it out to create a wonderful tannin structure and a legit snappy bite in the finish.

5.2% ABV

Bird Nerd

A German-style Pilsner

We all know a fresh German Pils is hard to come by. Luckily for all of us, Jeff brewed up an insanely legit batch out of our spot in O’side and we’ve now got it in 12oz cans! Made to be as traditional as possible using all German ingredients, the texture on this one is wonderfully firm in bitterness and greets your palate with mouth coating dryness that lingers in the long finish. It’s not too much of this, or not enough of that, but just right in its endless drinkability. Cheers to warmer weather and birds chirp’n!!!

5.3% ABV

Inspired By Choices

A Session IPA w/ Mosaic Cryo & Simcoe Cryo

Some get overwhelmed by all the choices out there, but instead we just get inspired, hence the name, ya know? This one keeps things wonderfully hoppy, and then keeps the abv low enough so that you can sit back and have a few. Very pale in color, with just the right amount of body, and all the hoppy vibes of fresh blueberries, orange zest, and the devil’s lettuce.

4.3% ABV

Josh's New Tiny Shoes

A Small IPA w/ Mosaic, Strata, Citra

With welcoming his first kiddo into this world, Josh (one of our esteemed brewers in Orange) wanted to make a beer to commemorate this beautiful moment. So here it is! A small IPA that keeps hop flavor insanely high, and abv wonderfully sessionable. Super pale in color, with just the right amount of body, and all the hoppy vibes of fresh mandarin zest and pineapples spears.

4.8% ABV

Liquid Photograph

A New Zealand-Style Pale Ale w/ Nelson & Motueka

This is a photograph! Well, a liquid photograph of visiting New Zealand earlier this year, and tasting through some insanely delicious NZ pale ales! And walking through those beautiful hop yards. So we wanted to try to bring that to you! A lil’ Imported Tastes From Your Local Buds™️ sort of thing. A pale ale with no caramel malt, that’s lean, and brimming with lots of tropical vibes from all those yummy hops!

5.4% ABV

Australian For Pale

A Hoppy Pale Ale w/ Motueka & Galaxy

Hoppy Pale Ale w/ Motueka, Galaxy & Nelson // This super hoppy pale ale gets hit in the boil and the dry hop with some of our favorite Southern Hemisphere hops; Galaxy, Motueka & Nelson. The malt flavor is almost non-existent with the flavor profile only showcasing these hoppy beauties. The lime flavor pops the most, with peach rings and mango trailing behind. 2019 Gold Medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival in the Australian-style Pale Ale category.

5.8% ABV

Radiant Beauty

A West Coast IPA w/ Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe

Our West Coast IPA that celebrates the love that we have for our beloved mascot, Cheeky! Layered with the holy trinity of hops; Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe for a radiantly clear IPA. We’ve been lucky enough to win a Silver at the 2018 World Beer Cup and a Silver at the 2019 Great American Beer Festival for this one.

6.7% ABV

False Memories

A West Coast IPA w/ Citra, Mosaic & HBC 586

This one was awarded a Silver Medal in the West Coast IPA category at the recent World Beer Cup 2024 beer competition! Its got a lean body, a snappy bitterness, a dab of hoppy resin in the linger, and all the hoppy aromatics we need!! Well…that, and a good pally to enjoy it with! Flavor profile? Think Ruby Red grapefruit, navel oranges, and the Devil’s Lettuce in the linger.

7.0% ABV

All Your Friends

A New Zealand-Style IPA w/ Galaxy & Nelson

Compared to our West Coast IPA, this one's a bit lighter in bitterness, with a dab of malty crackeriness, and then hits with two hops from down under that we are absolutely in love with! Hoppy aromatic layers of fresh kiwi, honeydew, passionfruit, and orange marmalade.

7.0% ABV

It Just Works

A Cold IPA w/ Mosaic, Ekuanot, & Amarillo

Our Cold IPA, that clocked in at a whopping 100 point score on @craftbeerbrew IPA’s reviews, and also won a recent bronze at the World Beer Cup 2024 is back! What the heck is a Cold IPA? Well, for us it’s an IPA mashed with 30% rice to help lighten up the body and color and then fermented with lager yeast. On the palate, this thing is very much like our clear and bitter California IPAs, and we really dig it! The color is very pale, with a firm bitterness, and a sticky resin quality that is all fresh douglas fir, and super hoppy aromatics of blueberry muffins and strawberries.

7.0% ABV

Never Ending Journey

collab w/ @‌uchubrewing // A West Coast IPA w/ Masa’s Favorite Hops (aka Citra Cryo, Krush Cryo, Mosaic, & Riwaka)

Our good good Pally™️ Masa from @uchubrewing.japan paid us a visit a few weeks back and we had the best time hanging, dancing, and selecting hops for this one together. We sniffed through every single possible new school hop varietal that we could use in this modern West Coast IPA, and these were his favorite hops and lots. It’s our classic GC-style, but with more dry hops more than usual (aka we DDH’d it!). Tasting notes? Think Oro Blanco grapefruit, Yuzu juice, peaches peaches, and some super fresh Maui Wowee in the linger bb. ありがとうございます、マサ!!!

7.0% ABV

Chance Favors the Prepared Mind

DDH West Coast DIPA w/ Citra, Citra Cyro & Mosaic

This one was awarded a Gold Medal in the Imperial IPA category at the recent World Beer Cup 2024 beer competition! The brew team were all good lil Pallys the night before they brewed this one, got good sleep, ate their Wheaties, and watched this batch of hop saturated yum yum like a hawk. We were prepared this time! And I think it shows in how dope this one came out. Tasting notes? Think Navel Orange oils, yummo blueberry cereal, pineapple whips, and a linger of the freshest Maui Wowee.

8.6% ABV

Wherever You Go

A DDH Hazy IPA w/ Motueka & Citra

Made with a mountain of old fashioned oats, we keep this thing as light in color as we can before its double dry hopped. Milky-yellowy-white, smooth and creamy, with hoppy layers of strawberry smoothie, basil flowers, and pear. Finishes with those white frosting vibes that we can't get enough of.

7.0% ABV

When It Doesn't Make Sense On Paper

DDH Hazy IPA w/ Citra, Motueka, & Nelson

This one focuses on that super pale milky yellow color, a mountain of oats, and brings together a super yummo hop blend that is greater than the sum of its parts. Tasting notes? Think cold pineapple spears, key lime zest, and Mango Hi -Chew.

7.0% ABV

Playing It Loud

DDH Hazy DIPA w/ Citra, Mosaic, Motueka & Strata

Ya may find yourself standing on top of a car, playing it loud to the one you love. Celebrate your success of winning them over with some cans of this hazy wonder. Hits with hoppy layer of Pixi sticks, orange macarons, and pineapple upside down cake.

8.6% ABV

Keep 'Em Comin'

DDH Hazy TIPA w/ Citra, Motueka

Maybe it’s a California thing? Maybe it’s a GC thing? I’m not sure how we ended up here, but we can’t get enough of these dangerously smooth, easy-drinking juice bombs, that drink more like single IPAs, than triple IPAs. This one features a hop combo that we’re pretty amped to showcase, that brings out layers of coconut cream pie, frozen pineapple daiquiris, and rainbow sherbet.

10.3% ABV

Guava In Berlin

A Berliner Weisse w/ Guava

This lil bb got a silver medal recently at the World Beer Cup and so we’re bringing it back! Get all those vacationy vibes locked in with the return of this pink wonder. It's our beloved Berliner-style Weisse with an insane amount of guava added to it during fermentation. This one's tart, dry and tropical, with huge Guava aromatics and flavor.

3.5% ABV

Salty Message

A German-Style Sour w/ Pink Salt & Magnolia Scented Tea

Our new school approach to this classic Leipzig Gose style, uses a mash of unmalted wheat and pilsner malt, as well a natural souring process, to create the perfect base to steep lots of rolled oolong tea that has been scented with magnolia flowers. It’s refreshingly sour and salty, with all the vibes of magnolia flowers and a jasmine-like character from sniff to sip.
