Our Lime Seltzer is dry, bubbly and hits with a kiss of real lime. This thing is naturally gluten-free and has just a dab of cane sugar added to it after fermentation. Enjoy as is, or pour over ice. It’s pretty fun with a shot of Mezcal or Gin, made as a Michelada, or maybe even a slice of jalapeño for some heat. With it being the limey blank canvas that it is, you can drink it however you want.
Lavender Lemonade // Sparkling Hard Seltzer We’ve got some Hard Lemonade for sale, ! And look at that color! That beautiful, natural color comes from the use of lots of lavender that Mitch spent like a million years making, with the biggest batch of lavender tea that I’ve ever seen! He then blended it in at perfection-like levels with our lemonade-style seltzer. Mitch has spent the last 8 months working on this little project, (not like all the time, but here and there) and we’re pretty pumped on the results! It drinks pretty balanced, with the acidity and sweetness hitting at just the right level, and then a soft tannic hit of dryness from the lavender. Enjoy straight out of the can, or pour over ice. Also legit with a dram of Old Tom Gin.
Our version of Kölsch uses German grown barley and hops, and a super clean German lager yeast to make this absolute crusher. To finish it off, we did the unthinkable, and filtered this thing to excellent brightness and smoothness. Funny enough, it was the first beer that we had ever filtered at Green Cheek, and now it's the first beer to get the sixer treatment, with this batch coming in 12oz x 6packs! The result? Brilliantly clear, with a solid head of white foam to match. Lighter in body than our Helles, with a very clean and firm bitterness. The finish is drying and crisp, with drinkability maxed out to new heights. Very proud of this one.
Our Cheeky brewers at our Costa Mesa spot, Pete and Ian, dreamed this one up all on their own, during a solid hang sesh in the Rave Cave™️. Fermented with a ripe lot of Mosaic Cryo, and then hit at the end of ferment with lots of Simcoe and a dab of Chinook, they really did this one right. The nose is all candied tangerines & douglas fir sprouts, with a delicate mid-palate bitterness that leads to bright flavors of Nonna’s Limoncello and finishes with the crispness of 808 hi-hats.
A fun project from with some of our bestest pals @pinthousebrewing , @alvaradostreetbrewery , @cellarmakerbrewing , @cloudburstbrew and @highlandparkbrewery , where we take turns teaching each other how to make some of our most well known beers. The texts, emails and calls that go into these beers is a labor of love and such a fun learning lesson. Pinthouse describes their beer best: "This IPA forgoes traditional bitterness in favor of a rounded juicy finish and a complex olfaction profile of fruit, citrus, pine and floral notes from the Simcoe and Mosaic Lupulin powder, and Citra hops. An incredibly drinkable, dank, and beautifully nuanced example of what can be done when you focus on the quality of the hop." - Joe Mohrfeld.
We spent some time spinning the elaborate yarn, over our approach to West Coast IPA, and made some changes to how we usually hit it. The result is a bit more resinous, perceivably hoppier, with a fresh hoppy expression of honeydew, strawberry, and some fun herbaceous forest vibes that linger in the finish.
You know your pals over here at GC can't stop noodle'n about all the different ways to hit an IPA. Can't stop. Won't stop. This one is richer and fuller than some of our other West Coasts, with a pleasant dab of hoppy resin in the linger. Flavor profile? Think blueberry muffins, spruce tips and fresh cut strawberries.
Our pal Max from There Does Not Exist paid us a visit in March, and we brewed up a version of his Psychic Advisor on our kit, but using a different mix of hop varietals. The palate is super clean, brightly resinous, and just bitter enough to invoke more drinking. Flavor profile? Think ruby red grapefruit, orange marmalade, and the devil’s lettuce. BTW, let’s all give a big CONGRATS to Max, cause he became a Dad this week!!!
Hazy IPA w/ Citra, 7.1 abv The secrets of this mysterious liquid will be unlocked with each sip and sniff as it rips through your palate with tropical layers of Hawaiian Punch, Dried Pineapple and Starfruit. Full, round and almost creamy.
Ya may find yourself standing on top of a car, playing it loud to the one you love. Celebrate your success of winning them over with some cans of this hazy wonder. Hits with hoppy layer of Pixi sticks, orange macarons, and pineapple upside down cake.
Part of our little series of beers highlighting how the combination of two hop varieties can create something special together. We wanted to showcase our special lot of El Dorado from our friends at @cls_famrs, and couple it with our hand selected Citra from @colemanagriculture for a rad little pairing of greatness. Tasting notes? The result is super punchy, with layers of zesty lemon, Kerns Apricot, and pineapple rings.
DDH Hazy DIPA w/ Citra, El Dorado, Talus Our hand selected Citra from one of our favoritist farms, Coleman Agriculture, leads the way here with that mango smoothie. Second up is the best El Dorado we’ve been lucky enough to use, from CLS Farms, helping layer in some fruit loops. Lastly we’ve got Talus, which is just a sprinkle, and brings us some wonderful fresh tangerine vibes.
This full-bodied juice king is built with a base of Pilsner malt, unmalted wheat ,and rolled oats then double dry hopped with Citra and Galaxy. Tasting notes? Fresh squeezed Oro Blanco grapefruit juice, white gummy bears, and super ripe mango.
We've made this beer for our dear friend Lucy, who lives with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Our hope is to raise awareness and some funds to hopefully find a cure for this rare condition. Starting today, we';; be selling this on draft at both spots, where $1 of every pint of this beer sold will go to the @cf_foundation via the @cff_oc Our Ruby Brown Ale is kinda like a cross between an Irish Red Ale and English Brown Ale, where it leans heavier on caramel malt depth, and then goes lighter on the mix of nutty and roasty yumminess that finishes crisp and dry. Medium in body, pint worthy and super fun to drink. So much so, you should have two...you know, for charity!
Our love for low acid mixed culture beer is something that we're proud to showcase in our little beer program. We continue to learn that patience is a key ingredient in these beers, as just the keg conditioning process took 7 months to complete. Brewed with raw wheat, pilsner malt, some noble hops, and then fermented in our French Oak Foeder in early 2021 at our spot in Orange. The result is super soft on the palate, with the bitterness and acidity both restrained, and the stone fruit and funk being at a wonderfully complex level. Tasting notes? Things like orange flower water, nectarine flesh, Wheaties, and Pinkberry original.
A blend of 2 batches. One brewed in Nov 2020 and the other brewed in January 2021, this was aged in stainless until December 2021, and then canned a couple weeks back. A beer that celebrates some of the good qualities that age and slow oxidation can play on a beer of this strength. The color is like rich mahogany. The body is thick, with a good, well rounded bitterness to match. The flavor profile is all mission figs, fruit cake, and rum & cola
??Our draft only, house-made michelada. Not available for fills.
We're big fans of Tiki Cocktails, so we thought, "why not make our next Imperial Berliner a Painkiller cocktail inspired beverage?!" So, we built this tasty drink with our "-Cito" Imperial Berliner platform and then dosed it with over 800lbs of pineapple and orange purees, plus buckets of coconut chips and coconut cream, silky milk sugar, and last but not least a confident dash of nutmeg. It's tart, tropical, and totally tasty! ***contains lactose!***
Rich, dark, and malty, Burlingame is our Czech-style Black Lager that offers flavors of toasted bread, bittersweet chocolate, and a prominent roasted note. We named it after the Burlingame historic district in North Park, which is known for its variety of characterful homes built in many popular architectural styles from the early 1900s. We think our Burlingame beer is also quite characterful in that it has many flavors in common with stouts and porters, but with the clean and refined finish you would find in an exceptionally well-crafted lager.
STS Pils is a classic European style Pilsner. It is straw in color and often times will have a slight haze due to the fact that it is unfiltered. STS Pils is a hop forward pilsner with a mild malt foundation, strong lager yeast characteristic, and a dry, bitter finish.
A true leader in the hop-wars of the west coast, Pliny the Elder hits you over the head with hoppy bitterness and manages to smooth the rough edges out enough to become an enjoyable brew.
