Lavender Lemonade
Sparkling Hard Seltzer w/ Lavender & Lemon
We’ve got some Hard Lemonade for sale! And look at that color! That beautiful, natural color comes from the use of an insane amount of lavender pods that we use to brew a ginormous, fresh batch of lavender tea, that then gets blended with our lemonade-style seltzer. 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.

Pierre's Paloma
Paloma-Style Hard Seltzer
Inspired by the Paloma cocktail, Pierre has been hard at work these last few months trying to create the most perfect version of this yummo refresher using only the purest ingredients. Pink grapefruit juice, lots of grapefruit zest, and cane sugar come together with just the right amount of booze, acidity, and richness for that perfect sip of vacation vibes. You can enjoy this one at our spot, or take home cans to enjoy at yours. Served with a 'lil ice and a fresh grapefruit wheel.

11° Czech-style Pilsner
Our Lager Lounge out of O’side is at it again with another absolute banger! Jeff takes the classic route for this one using Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner malt along with copious amounts of Czech Saaz hops during the brew to make it taste and look the part. We felt like 12° was too much body, and 10° wasn’t enough, so we went right down the middle for a beer that drinks just the way we like it. It highlights our favorite hop for this…Saaz! Saaz! Saaz!

Ceremonious Reception
Original American Lager
Daaaaaaang! This weather is so crazy hot right now that all we can think about is the most ultimate refreshing lager beer around to drink with our favorite Pallys™. With a focus on super cold crushability, our Original American Lager is the only thing that’ll do the trick! The lovely addition of rice and corn lightens up the body just right for a drinking experience that is wonderfully nuanced and easy drinking.

German For Light
Helles-Style Lager
Listen up Lager Pallys™, Jeff has another liter worthy classic coming out of our O’side spot that you’ll need to come in for, cause this one is draft only. Similar to Bier (our Helles that we’ve made so many times here at GC), but with a different yeast strain and pilsner malt. The result is a touch richer and more full than our normal take. It’s lovely. Fresh baked bread like aromatics and flavor, with a soft roundness on the palate, and just enough hop bitterness to maintain excellent drinkability.

Zombi Shark Fight
An Italian-style Pilsner
Max out of our Costa Mesa brewery lead the charge on this one, using Italian coastal barley and German grown Saphir hops. His love for Horror movies is shown in the name and through the art, paying homage to an over the top Italian Horror movie from the 70’s. Wonderfully aromatic with a dried lemon zest vibe along with some sage. The body is light on the palate, but the hops fill it out to create a wonderful tannin structure and a legit snappy bite in the finish.

Bird Nerd
German-Style Pilsner
We all know a fresh German Pils is hard to come by. Luckily for all of us, Jeff brewed up an insanely legit batch out of our spot in O’side and we’ve now got it in 12oz cans! Made to be as traditional as possible using all German ingredients, the texture on this one is wonderfully firm in bitterness and greets your palate with mouth coating dryness that lingers in the long finish. It’s not too much of this, or not enough of that, but just right in its endless drinkability. Cheers to warmer weather and birds chirp’n!!!

Premium Classics
American Export Lager
Our O’side Lager Lounge™ is bringing all you Pallys™ another draft only release. This one uses Pilsner malt, along with a mix of rice and corn to help lighten the body, and a blend of German hops for all the right texture. As Jeff says, it’s very sneaky, and an easy drinker, with a nice little hop note.

Inspired By Choices
A Session IPA w/ Mosaic Cryo & Simcoe Cryo
Some get overwhelmed by all the choices out there, but instead we just get inspired, hence the name, ya know? This one keeps things wonderfully hoppy, and then keeps the abv low enough so that you can sit back and have a few. Very pale in color, with just the right amount of body, and all the hoppy vibes of fresh blueberries, orange zest, and the devil’s lettuce.

Josh's New Tiny Shoes
A Small IPA w/ Mosaic, Strata, & Citra

What Good Curves Can You Throw?
It’s A West Coast Pilsner w/ Motueka
Another jammer from our the Rave Cave™ that’s perfect for the warmer weather heading our way.

Liquid Photograph
A New Zealand-Style Pale Ale w/ Nelson & Motueka
This is a photograph! Well, a liquid photograph of visiting New Zealand earlier this year, and tasting through some insanely delicious NZ pale ales! And walking through those beautiful hop yards. So we wanted to try to bring that to you! A lil’ Imported Tastes From Your Local Buds™️ sort of thing. A pale ale with no caramel malt, that’s lean, and brimming with lots of tropical vibes from all those yummy hops!

Australian For Pale
A Hoppy Pale Ale w/ Motueka & Galaxy
Hoppy Pale Ale w/ Motueka, Galaxy & Nelson // This super hoppy pale ale gets hit in the boil and the dry hop with some of our favorite Southern Hemisphere hops; Galaxy, Motueka & Nelson. The malt flavor is almost non-existent with the flavor profile only showcasing these hoppy beauties. The lime flavor pops the most, with peach rings and mango trailing behind. 2019 Gold Medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival in the Australian-style Pale Ale category.

It Just Works
A Cold IPA w/ Mosaic, Ekuanot, & Amarillo
Our Cold IPA, that clocked in at a whopping 100 point score on @craftbeerbrew IPA’s reviews, and also won a recent bronze at the World Beer Cup 2024 is back! What the heck is a Cold IPA? Well, for us it’s an IPA mashed with 30% rice to help lighten up the body and color and then fermented with lager yeast. On the palate, this thing is very much like our clear and bitter California IPAs, and we really dig it! The color is very pale, with a firm bitterness, and a sticky resin quality that is all fresh douglas fir, and super hoppy aromatics of blueberry muffins and strawberries.

False Memories
West Coast IPA w/ Citra, Mosaic & HBC 586

Think Ruby Red grapefruit, navel oranges, and the Devil’s Lettuce in the linger.

All Your Friends
New Zealand-Style w/ Galaxy & Nelson
Compared to our West Coast IPA, this one's a bit lighter in bitterness, with a dab of malty crackeriness, and then hits with two hops from down under that we are absolutely in love with! Hoppy aromatic layers of fresh kiwi, honeydew, passionfruit, and orange marmalade.

Never Ending Journey
collab w/ @uchubrewing // A West Coast IPA w/ Masa’s Favorite Hops (aka Citra Cryo, Krush Cryo, Mosaic, & Riwaka), 7% abv
Our good good Pally™️ Masa from @uchubrewing.japan paid us a visit a few weeks back and we had the best time hanging, dancing, and selecting hops for this one together. We sniffed through every single possible new school hop varietal that we could use in this modern West Coast IPA, and these were his favorite hops and lots. It’s our classic GC-style, but with more dry hops more than usual (aka we DDH’d it!). Tasting notes? Think Oro Blanco grapefruit, Yuzu juice, peaches peaches, and some super fresh Maui Wowee in the linger bb. ありがとうございます、マサ!!!

Chance Favors the Prepared Mind
DDH West Coast DIPA w/ Citra, Citra Cryo & Mosaic
This one was awarded a Gold Medal in the Imperial IPA category at the recent World Beer Cup 2024 beer competition! The brew team were all good lil Pallys the night before they brewed this one, got good sleep, ate their Wheaties, and watched this batch of hop saturated yum yum like a hawk. We were prepared this time! And I think it shows in how dope this one came out. Tasting notes? Think Navel Orange oils, yummo blueberry cereal, pineapple whips, and a linger of the freshest Maui Wowee.

DDH Hazy IPA w/ Motueka & Citra
Made with a mountain of old fashioned oats, we keep this thing as light in color as we can before its double dry hopped. Milky-yellowy-white, smooth and creamy, with hoppy layers of strawberry smoothie, basil flowers, and pear. Finishes with those white frosting vibes that we can't get enough of.

Just Two Things...Citra & HBC 586!
DDH Hazy DIPA w/ Citra & HBC586
Another release in our series of beers highlighting how the combination of two hop varieties can create something extra special together. Our hand selected Citra combines with the still unnamed HBC 586, and really surprised our brewers as one of the best hop combo’s of the year so far. Milky pale yellow in color, and craaaaaazy aromatic! Think about eating white peach skins, crushing Bellini’s, yummo soft serve Dole Whipssss, drinking watermelon Agua Fresca, a squeeze of yuzu juice, and endless descriptions of fruit. It’s wild. 🤯

Keep 'Em Comin'
DDH Hazy TIPA w/ Citra, Motueka, & Talus
Maybe it’s a California thing? Maybe it’s a GC thing? I’m not sure how we ended up here, but we can’t get enough of these dangerously smooth, easy-drinking juice bombs, that drink more like single IPAs, than triple IPAs. This one features a hop combo that we’re pretty amped to showcase, that brings out layers of coconut cream pie, frozen pineapple daiquiris, and rainbow sherbet.

Guava In Berlin
Berliner Weisse w/ Guava
This lil bb got a silver medal recently at the World Beer Cup and so we’re bringing it back! Get all those vacationy vibes locked in with the return of this pink wonder.

Salty Message
German-Style Sour w/ Pink Salt & Magnolia Scented Tea
Our new school approach to this classic Leipzig Gose style, uses a mash of unmalted wheat and pilsner malt, as well a natural souring process, to create the perfect base to steep lots of rolled oolong tea that has been scented with magnolia flowers. It’s refreshingly sour and salty, with all the vibes of magnolia flowers and a jasmine-like character from sniff to sip.

Masa, aka 隊長 Taicho (Captain), gave us another one of his recipe’s for his lovely smoothie beers. This one, like the others we’ve done, is a blend of 51% beer with 49% fruit puree to create a SUPER fruit beer that hits with all the yummo and rich tasting vibes that we’re looking for. We went the biggest on Pineapple, followed by Mango, and then Peach, just a squeeze of Tangerine, and enough Blue Agave to make it sing.
