West Coast IPA

This West Coast-Style India Pale Ale is extravagantly hopped, full flavored, medium bodied and copper colored. A menagerie of hops is combined throughout the brewing process to impart specific characteristics. Hops used include Simcoe for a unique fruitiness and grapefruit zest, Columbus for strong hop pungency, Centennial for pine and citrus notes, and Cascade for floral aroma.

ABV: 7% | IBU’s:95

Kellerweis is one of the only American Hefeweizens made using the traditional Bavarian style of open fermentation. This difficult and labor-intensive technique adds uncommon depth and flavor complexity. Our hazy-golden hefeweizen is deeply flavorful, refreshing and perfect for a sunny day. To serve, pour two-thirds into a glass, swirl and pour the rest.

Mirror Pond Pale Ale has four different hop additions along with the all-important dry hopping. What separates this pale ale, though, is balance. Most folks just heap on the hops and call it a day. Deschutes, on the other hand, uses a deft touch of Crystal malts to offset the definitive Cascade hop profile resulting in a delicate malty sweetness.

The proliferation of pale ales only proves how rare a truly great one is.

Boont Amber Ale won the Silver Medal at the 2003 Great American Beer Festival, in the American-Style Amber/Red Ale category, has several other medals, as well, and was named the “best beer brewed in Northern California,” by the San Francisco Bay Guardian.

Boont Amber Ale is a medium bodied pale ale with a beautiful copper color, a robust head, and the rich flavor of caramel malt. This very smooth and exceptionally drinkable beer is excellent with steaks, chicken, pasta, and other flavorful meals.

As with all of our products, Boont Amber Ale is never sterile filtered nor heat pasteurized, and should be stored in refrigeration. However, to fully enjoy its rich and complex flavor, it should be served between 40° and 45°F

“It’s bahl hornin’.”

With its deep, dark brown-black color, thick, full-bodied, velvety-smooth mouth feel, mocha character, and, strong yet subtle hop bite, Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout is one of the thickest, richest, and most complex stouts on the market today. In 1990, it became our first gold medal winner, at the Great American Beer Festival. Barney Flats was judged so superior to the other stouts that no other medals were even awarded in its category. Try it and see why Stewart Kallen described it as, “Slippery, creamy, dark, and sweet as a Pacific May morning,” in his book, The 50 Greatest Beers in the World.

Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout won the Bronze Medal at the 2010 World Beer Cup® , Silver Medal at the 2004 World Beer Cup® and the Bronze Medal at the 2004 GABF, and won the Gold Medal at the 2009 L.A. County Fair International Commercial Beer Competition as well as several other medals. Click here to see the entire list.

“It’s not just shy sluggin gorms neemer.”

A San Francisco original since 1896 Anchor Steam derives its unusual name from the 19th century when “steam” seems to have been a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. The brewing methods of those days are a mystery and, although there are many theories, no one can say with certainty why the word “steam” came to be associated with beer. For many decades Anchor alone has used this quaint name for its unique beer. In modern times, “Steam” has become a trademark of Anchor Brewing.

ABV – 4.9%

Like champagne, the quality of a great Pilsner can be seen in the density of its bubbles. Trumer Pils produces small, tight bubbles that rise from the bottom of the glass, delivering a slightly spicy aroma, with a hint of citrus. This perfect balance of flavors is achieved by procuring the exact blend of malt and hops from Germany and Austria and fermenting the brew with proprietary yeast. Its body is accentuated by using pure, soft water and removing the malt husk prior to the mashing process.

The signature of Trumer Pils is its finish. The crisp, clean and well-rounded taste leaves just a subtle touch of soft bitter flavor on the back of the palate. However, because the husk is removed before mashing, the finish won’t linger. Trumer Pils is a testament to the dedication of its Austrian and American brewmasters. The result? A true European Pilsner without compare.

The beer derives its name from the only two things that are truly unavoidable, and given that demand for it is becoming contagious, we imagine it’s unavoidable that Moonlight’s Death & Taxes will end up on tap someday. As it is, bar owners are literally put on a waiting list for it.

Santa Rosa’s Moonlight is virtually a one-man operation. Brian Hunt wears many hats, or rather, work shirts. Perhaps because he’s too busy brewing, selling, distributing, and so on, to park it on a bar stool and lose himself in a heavy pint, his offerings are in stark contrast to “extreme” beers, the Russian imperial stouts and double India pale ales, that often overtop the 10 percent alcohol mark. Hunt relishes brewing lighter-in-alcohol yet still robust-in-flavor beers that stay under 6 percent. In short, Moonlight’s beers are “sessionable”: You can quaff several in one sitting without getting bombed.

Like Anchor Steam, the Bay Area’s original session beer, Death & Taxes is medium-bodied. But unlike Anchor, which is brewed with pale malts, it’s a Schwarzbier ― black lager ― utilizing dark-roasted malts that impart flavors of coffee, dry cocoa, and charcoal. It’s proof that low-alcohol (in this case under 5 percent) doesn’t negate bold flavor. When it comes to lagers, schwarz is the new yellow.

The great Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder was a Roman naturalist, scholar, historian, traveler, officer, and writer. Although not considered his most important work, Pliny and his contemporaries created the botanical name for hops, “Lupus salictarius”, meaning wolf among scrubs.” Hops at that time grew wild among willows, much like a wolf in the forest. Later the current botanical name, Humulus lupulus, was adopted. Pliny died in 79 AD while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who continued his uncle’s legacy by documenting much of what he observed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
