Lavender Lemonade
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
A 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.

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.

Ceremonious Reception
Original Americal 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.

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.

This Is How You Tradition
A German Style Wheat Beer
Though we enjoyed the last couple Hefeweizen wheat beers we’ve made, we still felt like we had room for improvement. So we asked our in-house brewing traditions expert Jeff to help show us how we can make this one like it’s supposed to be! The result is wonderfully aromatic with banana and spice character, a full wheaty mouthfeel, and a finish that is soft and super drinkable.

Festbier '24
A Modern Oktoberfest style Lager
It’s a lager made for celebrate’n and drink’n by the liter! Made over at our Lager Lounge in O’side, using all German ingredients, lagered until just right, and then filtered to beautiful clarity. This pale golden lager hits with just the right level of all the things needed for crushability, where the hops’ fine bitterness and flavor complement the bread and crackery malt insanely well.

Premium Classics
An 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.

Nelson Pils!? In This Economy?!
West Coast Pilsner w/ 100% Nelson
Our Lead Brewer for our Costa Mesa spot dreamed up this beautiful little West Coast Pils, and he describes it best. Pete says "Smells like money on payday, freshly cut grass, ripe cantaloupe, grapefruit flesh, cotton bubble gum and a pleasant waft of diesel. On the palate is a light to medium body with flavors of rustic bread coming from the addition of spelt."

We're Listening
A West Coast Pilsner w/ Mosaic and Citra
Yep, we hear you loud and clear! You've been asking for more dry and crispy lagers, and we've got one more for you. Our West Coast Pilsner brings you the big hoppy flavor and aroma that you like in IPA, but the drinkability and lower abv of what you're diggin' in a stronger Pils. This one gets hit with a heavy dry hop of Citra and Mosaic, and a sprinkle of Strata.

Permanently Temporary
A DDH Cold Rye IPA w/ Nelson
Papa, our Lead Brewer from our spot in Costa Mesa, took his Temporarily Permanent recipe, switched out the house ale yeast for our house lager yeast, and kept the rest the same. Sitting on a simple bed of Pilsner and Rye Malt, the hops are wonderfully expressive with all the New Zealand love we could ask for. Tasting notes? Think fresh kiwi, cotton candy, cactus cooler, and a dab of the Devil’s Lettuce.

Wait, Did You Print Out the Directions?
West Coast IPA w/ Citra, Mosaic, and Strata
The days of Mapquest may be long gone, but luckily for us West Coast IPA is here to stay! Our newest iteration uses a mix of Golden Promise and Pilsner malts to create a touch of breadiness. It gets hop bursted with Ekuanot Cryo in the kettle, and then dry hopped with our hand selected lots of Citra, Mosaic, and Strata. The result is so fresh smelling, with a big hit of Oro Blanco zest, candied orange, and a bit of pine the finish.

False Memories
A West Coast IPA w/ Citra, Mosaic & HBC 586
This one was awarded a Silver Medal in the West Coast IPA category at the recent World Beer Cup 2024 beer competition! Its got a lean body, a snappy bitterness, a dab of hoppy resin in the linger, and all the hoppy aromatics we need!! Well…that, and a good pally to enjoy it with! Flavor profile? Think Ruby Red grapefruit, navel oranges, and the Devil’s Lettuce in the linger.

Now Open In Transylvania
A West Coast IPA w/ Mosaic, NZ Cascade, Citra, and Krush
Our little pal Count Cheekula has been busy brewing up a special potion for this spooky season. Using two hops from Washington, while the third hop is from @freestylehops in New Zealand. If you haven’t experienced New Zealand Cascade yet, it’s just incredible to see how much a growing region can influence the hop itself, and in this case, bring out so much bright zesty citrus character.

This Page Intentionally Left Blank
DDH California IPA w/ Mosaic, Citra, and Krush
This one is Californian through and through!!! Very pale in color, wonderfully dry, squeaky clean and snappy on the bitterness, with a lovely resinous hop intensity that shows in both the sniff and sips. Tasting notes? Think SpongeBob Popsicles, tangerine zest, and some of that super fresh Mary Jane. Ps. This hop blend just makes us smile.

Citra!!! It's What We Like Here
A DDH West Coast IPA w/ Citra, Citra Cryo, Citra Dynaboost
Went back to the drawing board on this one, amped up the hops, increased the intensity, doubled up the whirlpool and the dry hopping! Showcasing Citra hops loud and clear here, we feel like it’s well seen and understood in all its glory here. Flavor profile? Think lychee, mango flesh, and orange blossoms.

They Gave It A Name, Krush
TDH West Coast DIPA w/ Krush, Krush Cryo, Mosaic, and Citra
Our pals at @yakimachief have finally given a name to one of our favorite hops of the last few years! Yep, it’s true! Experimental hop HBC 586 is now called Krush. So here it is on the heavy side, with some Mosaic and Citra thrown in for good measure. We went with an obscene amount of hops in this one! Triple Dry hopped for ultimate hop intensity. Flavor notes? Think Ting soda, guava treats, Cactus Cooler, and the Devil’s Lettuce.

Chance Favors the Prepared Mind
DDH West Coast DIPA w/ Citra, Citra Cyro & 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.

Lost In My Kaleidoscope
A DDH Hazy IPA w/ Citra, Motueka, Riwaka, and Peacherine
Get yourself lost in all of the colors of flavor that comes through in this can. Milky yellow and wonderfully opaque, this one got power housed with Citra, and some of the best New Zealand heavy hitters all you little juice Pallys™️ could ask for. Tasting notes? Watermelon Agua Fresca, passion fruit sorbet, Strawberry Surf Rider, purple, orange, yellow, red…..

The Movie Was Better
A DDH Hazy DIPA w/ Citra, Nelson, and Riwaka
I hate to bring this up, and I know it never happens, but what about the time when a movie is somehow better than the book?!!?! I know it’s impossible. But it happens, right? Like, the book Dune was prescribed to me by my doctor as a nighttime sleep medication, and it worked wonderfully! Slept like a baby. So when the movie Dune 2 came out, I was thinking it would be the same type of nighttime sleeping aid, but instead I ended up staying up super late watching it cause it was awesome!!! So yeah, give it a chance. Tasting notes? All fruit no fluff! Passionfruit syrup, mango candy, cake frosting, and sticky rice

Playing It Loud
DDH Hazy DIPA w/ Citra, Mosaic, Motueka & Strata

Triple Fidens
A Fidens-Style TDH Hazy TIPA w/ Nelson, Citra, Krush
3 Parts Nelson, 2 parts Citra, and 1 part Krush. Well, our good good Pally™️ Steve Parker from @fidensbrewing flew all the way out from Albany to make HIS style of Hazy IPA with us on our system. Utilizing his house yeast strain, his mash bill, and his whirlpool and dry hopping techniques, we ended up with beers that show a lot of hop expression, and a full mouthfeel that is wonderfully rich tasting but without the cloying sweetness often seen in this style. Tasting notes: A tropical fruit bowl! Yuzu, guava, grapefruit zest, kiwi, and mango.
10.2% ABV
Keep 'Em Comin'
DDH Hazy TIPA w/ Citra, Motueka
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.
10.3% ABV
Sentimental Heart
Nitro Robust Porter
A wonderfully full drinking experience, especially on nitro, without being too rich/sweet, and a depth that is hard to achieve until you go “Hey Jeff! We need to brew something dark on nitro for all the spots”. To which he replies with a smile “ALRIIIIIIIIGHT!”. This one is all about highlighting some of the best malted, caramelized, and roasted barley from our pals at @simpsonsmalt in Northern England, and layering them in a way that is just down right delicious! It’s got all the vibes of a gooey chocolate chip cookie, but without all the sweetness to weigh ya down.

Salty Message
A 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.

collab w/ @uchubrewing // An Uchu-Style Smoothie Sour w/ Pineapple, Mango, Peach, Tangerine, & Blue Agave
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
