HaverAle

Our award-winning cream ale is delicious light ale with plenty of flavor.  Ferments warm for a fruity nose and then stored cold for a crisp, dry finish. This is one nicely balanced beer. A great introduction to what we do!

Hold onto your hats, or even better - your lips!  This beer is for hop-heads only.  Ripe with floral and citrus notes, our "India pale ale" is so packed with Centennial, Newport and Nugget hops it should be green (the color of hops). Hop to the challenge!  



Homerun APA
6%  abv, 38 ibu  

Want some hops but to still keep your taste buds intact?  This American Pale Ale is the choice for you.  With light floral notes and a good dose of Glacier hops, this well-balanced APA is a great step up if you want to graduate your palate.  It's also great with fried seafood and burgers.

Gestalt

5% abv., 40 ibu

This hoppy German altbier-style ale has the crispness of a German lager, the hoppy punch of a pale ale, and the malt backbone of a brown. It's a unique combination of flavors that is almost exclusively brewed in the Dusseldorf area of Germany. Very smooth and drinkable with a great toasted flavor. Our newest year-round addition!

 

Whittier White

4.6% abv, 20 ibu

Cloudy because of the raw wheat added to the kettle and yeast in suspension, this beer is light, refreshing , and a little bit tart, spiced with coriander, curacao, orange peel, and a top secret brewing spice. This is our rendition of a Belgian Wit and it's perfect for the warm weather.    

 

BEISL LAGER
5.4%abv 26 ibu

 Our Vienna Lager has a pleasant toasty flavor from the use of Munich and Vienna malt in addition to a Pilsner base. Tettnang hops offer a nice balance to malt sweetness. We lager the beer for three months to give it a refreshing, crisp finish. Though the style oringinated in Vienna, it's now almost exclusively brewed in Mexico.

 

CALIFORNIA POMS

5.3% abv, 11 ibu

A hazy American wheat beer with Pomegranate and cherry concentrates giving it a delicious slightly tart fruit flavor and ahint of pink. The high quality concentrates used come from California and are cold processed leaving all the antioxidants intact. Try it with our salads or as a dessert on it's own.

 

ASCENSION

7.3% abv. 60 ibu

  Don't let the high hop content fool you, this Belgian IPA is extremely drinkable! The Saaz hops and Belgian yeast we used give it a refreshing almost peppery finish. We balance the massive amounts of hops with fine Pilsner Malts from France and special Aromatic Malt from Belgium. With these great aromas and flavors, you've never had a beer quite like this before! 12oz only
