Our Approach to Beer

Our styles range from "Wait, you can do that with beer?" to precision-engineered German lagers. While we push boundaries with wild experiments, we also honor centuries-old brewing traditions like decoction mashing in copper kettles and horizontal lagering tanks that would make your grandfather's grandfather proud. 

Our brewers blend Renaissance-level craftsmanship with modern artistic vision and technical mastery.

Visual Brand/
Creative Direction

Our creative direction is like a fever dream had by a surfer who spent too much time huffing salty sea spray. A combo of nautical nonsense and psychedelic surf kook culture, with a dash of "Did we just become best friends?"

This approach isn't just us being weird for weird's sake. It's a calculated aesthetic choice that's landed us among "America's 12 Most Compelling New Brands" alongside heavy hitters like Olipop and Magic Spoon. Hell, Beverage Testing Institute even crowned us "Best Beer Can" design. But here's the thing: killer packaging is just the hook. We reel you in with world-class design, then keep you coming back with liquid that tastes fucking güd (IYKYK).

Awards

From Top 10 Breweries in the Country to Best Overall Beer in California, we've racked up a few and we’re pretty proud of that. But here's the thing - we don't brew beer for the awards (mostly). We make beer because we love it, and if some fancy judges want to give us shiny objects for doing what we love, who are we to argue?

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple: to save the world from mundane beer experiences. We believe in taking risks, pushing boundaries, and occasionally blowing domes. We're here to make beer that makes you think, "Damn, I didn't know beer could do that!" while simultaneously making you forget how to use your indoor voice.

We envision a future where hop heads and lager lovers unite, and where "beer belly" is a term of endearment. We try to bring innovation while keeping things approachable and kooky. Think less beer snob, more beer nerd.

Oh, you like beer?
Well, beer likes you too
