ON TAP IN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO

On Tap — San Juan Capistrano

• Bert Day

  Blond Ale

  One's craft tends to age quite fine, even if our bodies don't follow...therein lies the rub. For when you get to a certain level of maturity, your birthday wishes are granted by a job well done. Hey, it's your birthday, and you'll brew if you want to! Keeping things simple is another gift of wisdom that only dawns on weathered heads. For example, a crisp and clean celebration of restrained malt along a velveteen touch of citrusy hop. Quite satistying, yet distinguished- as one should look celebrating in a well worn birthday suit.

• Color Scheme

  Red Ale

  Dig your color scheme brooooo! Complimentary shades can entice the senses, signify team allegiance, and often times elevate the sum of its parts through meaning. Like the beloved and boisterous back table behind the brewery, we relate to what is special because of what is different in the immediate surroundings. Red isnt Christmas without green. Old Glory isnt patriotic until blue waves with red and white. And, of course. it just ain't Padre yellow without that bold brown. This complex malt bill brings notes of Vanilla wafer and dark fruit to support hoppy notes of fresh strawberry and a balanced bitterness. Beyond the contrast of black and white is the beauty when hues collude and shine brighter together.

• 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 Minute- men, their band could be your life.

• Handful

  Helles

  So we can talk about the handful of grain and hops in this subtle classic, we can talk about the hands that twist the knobs and turn the valves and we can talk about the handful of time it took to create this handful of beer. We can talk about what a handful my kids are and be grateful to have a handful. We can raise our glasses and cheers to having a hand that's full.

• Hefty Fee

  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.

  IPA

  You down? A feathery mouthfeel is declared champion as wheat and oats strike a fluffy stunner on a pilsner malt bed. Fierce but refreshing as the cool side of the pillow. Nelson and Citra battle for apical dominance wiht notes of mango and tangelo in this bright and punchy IPA.

• Super Tonic

  Coffee Oatmeal Stout

  Musically speaking, the second note of the diatonic scale, or one step above Tonic. In our terms, a more potent elixer 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!

• The Rube

  Red Rye Ale

  A yokel, a country bumpkin. Rustic w/ his own refined dignity. Bold yet balanced, audacious but approachable. Malt and hops in harmonious heft. Sweet caramel and spicy rye balanced by an assertive, candied grapefruit bitterness in this easy drinking red ale. Inspired by the classic cocktail, the Rube is your mid-day Manhattan.
