Coming Friday 8/29 -- Cask I.P.A. & Unfiltered Harvest Ale

Looking for a way to beat the heat this Labor Day weekend? Why not try cruzing down to the tasting room and sampling some hop-infused deliciousness! This Friday, 8/29, we will be pouring the first keg of our unfiltered Harvest Ale as well as a cask-conditioned IPA. This is the first year we have produced a Harvest Ale, where liberal doses of freshly picked, local (Carpinteria and Gaviota coast) grown hops are added to the end of the boil. This addition of fresh hops adds a very floral, wet hop taste not found in many commercial or microbrewed beers. Furthermore, our cask conditioned IPA will be served Friday as well. If you are a newcomer to the cask-movement, cask ale is served at room temperature, unfiltered, and dry-hopped with traditional English finishing hops, East Kent Goldings--delicious!. It is sure to be a busy weekend, so sneak in early and try some for yourself, Cheers!

Tasting Room Hours: Mon-Fri.: 2pm-9pm, Sat-Sun.: 11am-9pm

Hey Beer Fans, Harvest Ale & Cask Porter on FRIDAY 8-15-08!

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know what is going on at the brewery this week. In celebration of brewing our 300th batch, we will be brewing a special, one-run beer, available only at the brewery, called Harvest Ale. Our Harvest Ale is unique from our other beers due to the fact that it will contain massive amounts of whole, locally-grown, fresh hops, added to the end of the boil for flavor and aroma. In addition, in honor of the ceremonious brew, we will be tapping a keg of our cask-conditioned London Porter! The porter has been a winter staple here at the brewery, and we managed to hold on to one cask of it back in the cellar, just waiting for a special occasion to tap it. So come on in and try a glass of cask porter and cheers to our 300th batch!
