RIND OVER MATTER 🍊
Rice Ale with Calamansi
5.1% ABV | Draft-Exclusive | Limited Release
⁠
Rind Over Matter is a fruited rice ale, built on a foundation of flaked rice and Admiral Pilsner malt before adding 10 gallons of calamansi puree. The calamansi, a citrus hybrid-fruit of mandarin and kumquat, brings a bright tartness that carries notes of lime leaf, lemon, and passionfruit on the nose. Light and approachable at 5.1% ABV, it sips with flavors of lemon custard, lime zest, and a subtle breadiness. Pouring a straw yellow with a white head, this unique beer is crisp, refreshing, and quietly complex.

Introducing our third collaboration with our friends at Tablas Creek Vineyard in Paso Robles! Our newest custom wine blend showcases the pinnacle of sustainable winemaking and Rhône-style tradition.

2024 RED CUVÉE 🍷⁠
In collaboration with ⁠
Red Cuvée (47% Syrah, 31% Grenache, 19% Mourvèdre, 3% Counoise)⁠
13.5% ABV | 2024 Vintage | Available Year-Round
⁠
The nose is dense and expressive, offering layers of boysenberry, blueberry and vanilla bean spice interwoven with notes of herbs de Provence and a hint of char. The palate is concentrated yet poised, showing cherry compote, black tea and rosemary sprig, all supported by fine, graphite-edged tannins. The finish is persistent and savory, marked by wild herbs and a chewy anise character.⁠
⁠
Our 2024 Red Cuvée combines Tablas Creek’s unparalleled expertise in Rhône varietals with our vision to showcase winemakers working in environmentally sustainable ways.

🍇 More about Tablas Creek:
Tablas Creek Vineyard is a pioneering winery located in Paso Robles, California. Founded in the late 1980s as a partnership between the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel (in France’s Rhône Valley) and the Haas family of Vineyard Brands, Tablas Creek has played a key role in bringing Rhône varietals to the United States.

They are renowned for their organic and biodynamic farming practices, commitment to sustainability, and innovative blending techniques. Tablas Creek was the first Regenerative Organic Certified™ vineyard in the U.S., and their wines consistently reflect a deep respect for the land and tradition.

🍷 Our Red Cuvée is now available by the glass and by the bottle to-go at all Pure Project taprooms!
