Topaz is our Australian-style pale ale brewed to celebrate our newest brew dog and adorable chocolate lab, Topaz. This beer is brewed with a restrained grain bill to let the hop character shine, and is exclusively hopped to the hilt with Topaz hops. Floral and wood aromas lead to bold flavors of pine, lychee, and papaya with a citrus undertone and a refreshingly hoppy and crisp finish.
FEST BIER

marlette sunrise
BLOOD ORANGE BLONDE
5.3% ABV
Our Marlette Sunrise is a take on our original blonde ale that gained an instant following. We brewed it with honey malt and flaked wheat for a hint of sweet malt complexity and then added a hint of blood orange purée to the conditioning beer. The result is a tasty brew that has nuanced fruit notes and a clean and refreshing finish, perfect for summertime in Lake Tahoe.

Strata
FRESH HOPPED IPA

Strata Fresh Hop IPA is our love letter to hops. Brewed with Strata from Indie Hops picked from Coleman Farms in the wee hours of the morning, we threw over 100 pounds of these wet hop nuggets in the beer on the same day. After fermentation, we dry hopped with even more Strata, layering all the dank flavors throughout. This IPA packs intense aromas of citrus skin and dried chilis with a hint of ganja. Fresh Hop IPA features flavors of juicy strawberries, tropical fruit, and an undertone of evergreen tips.

Hope Valley
WEST COAST IPA
7.0% ABV
An ode to our favorite place to observe the autumnal colors in all their glory, Hope Valley is our West Coast IPA brewed to celebrate the change of seasons in the Sierra. 2 Row and Vienna malt in the mash create a balanced background for the hops to pop.

A resinous bitterness and clean finish make Hope Valley the perfect companion for observing some alpine foliage.
