From multi-hemisphere hops, to a crisp peach seltzer and a West Coast collaboration with McIlhenney, this week's triple can release is stacked with flavors for every palate.
⁠
CATCH AND RELEASE 🎣⁠
Murky Double IPA with Nelson, El Dorado, Southern Cross, & Amarillo Abstrax⁠
8.5% ABV | Limited Release⁠
⁠
Catch & Release is a murky double IPA that hooks your senses with a blend of hops from both hemispheres. Showcasing New Zealand-grown Nelson Sauvin and Southern Cross alongside Pacific Northwest-grown El Dorado and Amarillo Abstrax, this b**r delivers a burst of fruit-forward notes. Aromas of mango sorbet, Rainier cherries, and a hint of candied tangerine entice the nose, while the palate reels in flavors of ripe mango, juicy pineapple, and apricot jam. The lush, medium-full body provides a velvety canvas for each hop’s character to shine, creating a sip that’s both bold and refreshing.
⁠
PEACHY CONDITIONS 🍑⁠
Hard Seltzer with Peach⁠
5.0% ABV | Limited Release⁠
⁠
Meet Peachy Conditions, a 5% ABV hard seltzer, loaded with organic Washington peaches. This light-bodied, spritzy treat pours a pale yellow color with a soft white head, releasing bright aromas of peach, pear, and orange rind. Each effervescent sip delivers vibrant notes of peach rings, apricot, pear, and lemon.

Batch 7 of our legendary bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout and a 16-month oak-aged strawberry sour just landed in taprooms! This week's bottle drop is a celebration of barrel-aged craftsmanship and local San Diego agriculture.

CORYLUS (BATCH 7) 🌰⁠
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout with Hazelnuts, Cacao, & Coffee⁠

The seventh batch of this velvety, full-bodied brew rested in Cutwater, Heaven Hill, and Barton 1792 bourbon barrels for 18 months, establishing a unique complexity. Organic toasted hazelnuts, organic Peruvian cacao, and Brazilian coffee enhance the sipping experience, forming decadent flavors of dark chocolate fudge, hazelnut gelato, and inky espresso that leave a lasting impression on the palate.⁠
⁠
SERENE BEING 🍓
Oak Barrel-Aged Sour Ale with Strawberries & Elderflower⁠
5.0% ABV | Limited Release⁠

Find your center with Serene Being, our delightful new 5.0% ABV mixed fermentation sour ale. This base b**r was brewed with Admiral Pilsner malt and farm-direct CA unmalted wheat. It then aged in oak for 16 months before receiving a heaping 1,000 pounds of fresh, local strawberries from JR Organics and 10 pounds of local, organic elderflower from Coastal Roots. Pouring a beautiful sunset orange color, it offers a vibrant nose of strawberry compote, apricot, and elderflower. Each sip provides juicy, tart notes of mandarin oranges, herbal tea, and orange blossom, serving as a delightful homage to San Diego organic agriculture.⁠
