LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT OUR BEERS...

BEERS BY US!

Lavender Lemonade

Sparkling 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

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

*Like Super Profound*

A Japanese-Inspired Rice Lager

The healthy portion of rice used to make this one does freak’n wonders to the beer! It lightens up the body, and the color, and makes for what some Pallys would call suuuuuper criiiiiiiiiiiispy! It’s a beer made for literally EVERY occasion. Eating yummo food? Drink this. Going to your favorite brewpub to hang with Cheeky? This one! Showing your friends a magic trick where the beer continues to just “disappear”? This OOOOONE!!!

5.0% ABV

Zombi Shark Fight

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

Josh's New Tiny Shoes

It's a Small IPA w/ Mosaic, Citra & Strata

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

Living In the After

West Coast Pils w/ Mosaic, Citra & Simcoe

Our search for the perfect lager charged with all the modern hoppy goodies continues! This one gets hit with the holy trinity of hops and maintains ultimate yummo vibes from sniff to sip. Tasting notes? Think grapefruit zest and strawberry candy, with a kiss of the devil’s lettuce in the linger.

5.6% ABV

We're Listening

West Coast Pils w/ Citra & Mosaic

Yep, we hear you loud and clear! You've been asking for more super hoppy lagers, and we've got one more for you. Our West Coast Pilsner brings you all the big hoppy flavor and aroma that you like in IPA, but the drinkability and lower abv of what you're diggin' in a stronger Pils. This one gets hit with a heavy dry hop of Citra and Mosaic, and a sprinkle of Strata.

5.6% ABV

Australian For Pale

Hoppy Pale Ale w/ Mosaic, Lilikoi, & Nelson

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

It Just Works

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

DDH Radiant Beauty

DDH West Coast IPA w/ Citra, Mosaic & Simcoe

It’s 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. This batch gets the double dry hop treatment for the second time, for all the yummo hop vibes you could ask for!

6.7% ABV

*You Can't Be Fancy All the Time*

Collab w/Breakside// A Breakside-Style Rice IPA

Look, you can’t be fancy aaaaaall the time. Sometimes you just gotta cook at home to save a handful of Benjamin’s, instead of eating at Noma for the 5th night in a row! So, Ben Edmunds and your favorite Pallys™️ at Green Cheek kept ourselves in line on this batch of WCIPA, and didn’t go double (or even triple) dry hopped so that we could keep that pricing at the right spot for ya’ll. We used a bunch of rice to create a VERY pale color and a light bodied base, and poured in all the yummiest hops we could get our hands on, along with this yummo new hop/botanical liquid to keep those aromatics HIGH. Tasting notes? Think fresh kiwi, pineapple whips, and fresh yuzu.

6.8% ABV

False Memories

West Coast IPA w/Citra, Mosaic & Krush

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

New Zealand-Style IPA w/ Nelson, Lilikoi & Krush

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

Nelson!!! (It's What We Like Here)

West Coast IPA w/ 100% Nelson Hops

We cranked this batch up a bit, using this legit lot of Nelson Bliss, which is this fun project from @freestylehops where they harvest 1/2 of the lot early and 1/2 of the lot late and then blend it together to try create the best Nelson possible. So yeah, we used that! Along with a bunch of Nelson Cryo, and double dry hopped too, in order to try to create our own best Nelson character possible! Tasting notes? Think lovely NZ Sauv Blanc, fresh lime, and passion fruit.

7.2% ABV

*Perpetual Noodle'n*

West Coast IPA w/Citra, Mosaic & Strata

You know your pals over here at GC can't stop noodle'n about all the different ways to hit an IPA. Can't stop. Won't stop. This one drinks wonderfully lean, with a pleasant dab of hoppy resin in the linger. Flavor profile? Think blueberry muffins, spruce tips and fresh cut strawberries.

7.2% ABV

Chance Favors the Prepared Mind

DDH West Coast DIPA w/Citra, Citra Cryo & 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

*DDH Among Many*

Hazy IPA w/ Nelson, Ekuanot, Motueka, Mosaic, Strata & More

Another fun project! We focused our attention on using a lot of different hop varieties, all at varying amounts, so that each variety could play to its own strength, all for the goal of trying to create a non-fruited beer, with as much vibrant fruit character as possible! Well, I'm happy to report, the experiment was a success and this time it’s double dry hopped! Tasting Notes: it’s a citrus salad, with all sorts of yummy bits of orange, lemon, and grapefruit popping out. The linger is all lychee and nectarine.

7.2% ABV

Wherever You Go

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

DDH The Other Brian

DDH Hazy DIPA w/ 100% Citra

Our favorite hazy double returns and gets double dry hopped with lots of Citra! The hops take center stage and hit with flavors of ripe mango, fresh squeezed orange juice, and pineapple candy too.

8.5% ABV

Just Two Things... Citra & El Dorado

DDH Hazy DIPA w/ Citra & El Dorado

Part of our little series of beers highlighting how the combination of two hop varieties can create something special together. We wanted to showcase our special lot of El Dorado from our friends at @‌cls_farms , and couple it with our hand selected Citra for a rad little pairing of greatness. Tasting notes? The result is super punchy, with layers of zesty lemon, Kerns Apricot, and pineapple rings.

8.7% ABV

*New Adventures*

Nitro Golden Milk Stout w/ Portola Coffee

We teamed up with our bud, Jeff Duggan of Portola Coffee, to bring you something that looks like a blonde ale, but tastes like a coffee milk stout! It’s full-bodied, creamy like a Portola cappuccino, and hits with flavors of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, toasted almonds, and coffee, yep, lots of coffee! Each can is ON NITRO, so you’ll want to give it a light shake back and forth, crack it open, and then pour fast, down the side of your pint glass. *contains lactose*

5.4% ABV

Coco Mesa

Nitro Coconut Rye Stout

This lil cult favorite is finally making a comeback. Like taking a bite out of a coconut chocolate candy bar, it's full-bodied and a tad sweet from the use of chocolatey malted barley and a huge addition of real toasted coconut! Lightly shake the can a bit, and then pour fast into your favorite pint glass to experience all the creaminess that nitro brings to this tasty treat!

6.6% ABV

Calamosa

A Mimosa-Inspired Barrel Fermented Sour beerw/ Calamansi (Citrus)

Our lil “Puncheon Project” out of The Rave Cave in Costa Mesa is finally bearing fruit! Dreamed up by our brewing team leaders, Petey and Papa, this one is brewed with raw wheat and spelt, gets barrel fermented with our house mixed culture, hit with calamansi juice, blended to our liking, and then naturally carbonated in kegs for months until it SINGS! Inspired by day drinking mimosas on a Sunday, the calamansi citrus is front and center, with a depth of refreshing sourness and a pleasant oak tannin structure. Tasting notes? Think squirt vibes, nectarine, sandalwood, and lemon gushers.

5.0% 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.
