ON TAP

LUNA (BELGIAN WITBIER)

This take on a Belgian summer classic is the color of the rising moon. Gently spiced with toasted coriander and orange peel along with a kiss of chamomile. Aromas of orange cream, sugar cookies, lavender and ginger cradle a soft and cuddly mouthfeel to a lightly tart and snappy finish. Like its namesake, sugar and spice and everything nice.  5.2% abv     

SELF TITLED (SAISON)

A beer so lovely, we named a brewery for it. Crisp and dry. Notes of fresh baked French roll, white grape, marmalade and lemon grass.  5.3% abv     

TRABUCO (BROWN ALE)

The murky waters of San Juan Creek that (occasionally) flow behind our brewery are fed by the Arroyo Trabuco. Named for one clumsy conquistador’s misplaced blunderbuss – a flared barrel musket – which inspires this deep umber ale. Dark brown as the stock of its namesake, this shallow ABV brew surprises with depth of flavor. Comforting notes of toasted pecans, sweet tobacco leaf, cocoa powder and a hint of blueberry waffles. Fittingly the Arroyo Trabuco winds through many of the trails our beloved mountain bikers call home away from, and inevitably lead to, our public’s house.   5.2% abv  *also available on NITRO

COLOR SCHEME (RED ALE)

Dig your color scheme bro! Bright and fruity with notes of Pinot Noir grapes, blackberry and vermouth. Balanced by orange peel bitterness. 5.8% abv

DOUBLE NICKELS (pale ale)

 Brewed to a calculated 55 ibus and 5.5% abv or double nickels on the dime.  Angular notes of ruby red grapefruit, sweet orange, and pine strum upon a groovy bassline of light honey and vanilla in a compact yet satisfying little ditty.  A liquid tribute to a group of cats from San Pedro who jam econo – or fitting a lot into a little. “Punk was whatever we made it to be” a quote from late lead singer/guitarist D Boon inspires every recipe Ive ever brewed. Listen to the Minutemen, their band could be your life.  

A gold medal winner in the 2024 World Beer Cup for American Pale Ale!

gimme (ipa)

The perfect course companion. On the green with hoppy notes of tropical fruits and candied citrus. Wheat malt tees a subtle tart snap and caddies a medium bodied, easy swinger. An ace, or at least close enough amongst friends, now gimme another! 7.2% abv

OURGLASS (ipa)

-to celebrate the passing time we all share- This abiding brew, built to commemorate our birth by the creek in San Juan Capistrano years back, is a testament to all we have learned since the beginning a few turns ago. Many a glass been drained as many a friend made along the way and our gratitude deepens. A union we have discovered deliciously compatible is the harmonious coupling of Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin hops. Notes of bright berry, punchy citrus and shortbread kindly share this glass with you. We hope for you to share a few good times and pints with friends before the sand runs out. To take time to celebrate the OUR in hourglass. After all, you are a little wiser and a tad older than when you started reading this. So let’s drink to that – and the passing time! 6.7% abv

PINT OF SOUL (NEW ZEALAND IPA)

 Pint worthy notes of tropical fruits, orange peel and blueberry pine from a soulful blend of Nectoron, NZ Cascade and Nelson hops.  6% abv 

RABBIT HABIT (Dipa)

The habit of rabit? No carrots here, Jack. This riddle of a double IPA is easliy solved when a bright blend of berry and citrus leap out of the glass. Whiskers wiggle above a healthy heap of Mosaic and Simcoe for an evolving aroma experience. 8.2% abv 

NO QUARTER PORTER (PORTER)

A genius dose of Peruvian cocoa nibs to compliment this smooth and rich black brew. 6.2% abv  

SUPER TONIC (COFFE OATMEAL STOUT)

Musically speaking, the second note of the diatonic scale, or one step above Tonic. In our terms, a more potent elixir than the original. Infused with more flavors of milk chocolate, more roast, more mouthfeel, and most important – more coffee. Whoever said there can be too much of a good thing never had a chance to try this here beer. A wiser man once said – everything in moderation, especially moderation. Cheers to that, and you! 8.4% abv

 

2TOWNS CIDERHOUSE (PINEAPPLE CIDER)

Unfiltered Pineapple Cider. A bright and crisp cider from fresh-pressed pineapples. 5% abv.
