MONGER’S CHOICE (KOLSCH)

A German style lager/ale hybrid. Dry and crisp with notes of fresh baguette and orchard fruit. 5% abv

BERT DAY (BLONDE ALE)

A malt focused, yet crisp drinker, brewed with Mandarina Bavaria hops. Soft notes of orange marmalade and vanilla wafer. 5% abv

DAYLIGHT (LAGER)

A bare bones lager beer, brewed with pine malts and flaked corn. A Simple summer drinker even for the deep thinker.  4.2% 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  

HEFTY FEE (SESSION IPA)

What price freedom?  Some may say it is a hefty fee.  Which must be why some borrow to keep it around.  A punch of Mosaic hops arrive to collect what the nose owes.  On the hot side, an overdue hop bill adds up to bright notes of berry and limeade from thriftless amounts of Nelson and Motueka hops.  All leveraged by honey gold notes from the finest Canadian malts.  A delicious, low abv hoppy beer that tastes expensive yet offers a refreshing break from the debt of a life born free. 4.8% abv

JONES CRUSHER (IPA)

Jones no more! This baby beast has all the hops we can stuff into a low ABU summer. A sexy blend of Strata, Mosaic, Simcoe and Citra hops.  5% 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

MACRO DOCE (ipa)

With glimmering notes of pineapple, guava and key lime. We aim to shatter the illusion of duality from 100% Krush hops. 6% abv

DRIPPING TAP (NEW ZEALAND IPA)

Nelson, Nectaron and Motueka hops leave you hangin’ on by a thread. Juicy notes of peach and lime citrus in these times of our thirsty needs.  6.3% abv

PRESS ONE (IPA)

Hello, hello…You have reached the Docent Hopline.  Do you like hops? – press one.  Do you like hoppy notes of mixed berry, tangerine and cotton candy?  – press one.  If you enjoy supremely drinkable beer made with American and German pilsner malts layered with Citra and Mosaic – press one.  Do you like Simcoe?  Do you like El Dorado?  – press one.  Do you want a clean and crisp and tropical pint – press one.  Do not press two. – press one. 6.5% 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.
