Bison’s Organic Chocolate Stout is a medium-bodied ale characterized by rich cocoa and roasted malt aromas, charismatic flavors of dark chocolate and espresso, a creamy mouthfeel and smooth, dry finish. 5% abv.

“Like Barry White’s voice in a bottle,
this is a dark, slow-pouring aphrodisiac of the smoothest proportions….
rich, roasty, slightly bitter but oh so luscious.”

— SF Bay Guardian

It seems that everyone knows the story of the Three Kings. Sent to follow the star in the sky each brought a gift for the baby they sought. One King brought Gold, the other Frankincense and the other Myrrh. Many breweries produce a Christmas Seasonal beer and this is our beer to celebrate the holiday season.

Gold in color and bittered with the bark of Frankincense, we have even used the smallest amount of Myrrh which is an herb that has roots in ancient winemaking as well.

A massive Golden Ale fit for a king (or Queen) we offer the Gift of the Magi each holiday season.

A true West Coast classic Pale Ale, American River Pale Ale is refreshing, crisp and highly drinkable. A pleasant malt profile gives way to an assertive fresh hop flavor, with a dry citrus hop aroma & orangey fruitiness in the finish.

Alcohol (%by vol): 5.7%

YOU ARE WORTHY! This is not fizzy yellow beer in the sense of American Macro-brewed Lager: bland, watered-down, insipid, over-carbonated, corn and rice drool. It is rich, flavorful, traditional and inspired American-brewed Bohemian-style Pilsner. We brewed this beer to show what “fizzy yellow beer” could and should be.

Green Flash Fizzy Yellow Beer was brewed in collaboration with Matt Richard, 2009 Best of Show winner at the San Diego County Fair’s homebrew competition. It will be entered in the Pro-Am competition of the Great American Beer Festival and available for tasting in Denver. Best of Luck Matt!

Palate Wrecker was originally brewed for the Hamilton’s Tavern 2nd Anniversary celebration. It’s the most complicated West Coast–inspired IPA we have ever brewed—mashing and sparging with hopped wort, in addition to our hop layering regimen for IPA. By popular demand, it is now released for the world to enjoy.

ALC. BY VOL. 9.5% | IBUS: 100+

100% Brettanomyces Fermented Golden

Technically, this is neither an ale nor a lager. The base recipe is for a Golden Ale, but we do the primary fermentation with 100% brettanomyces. The brett gives it some sour notes but not as much as if it had been aged with lacto and pedio. It’s rather refreshing on a warm day!
