Mexican Lager, Devil's Canyon, San Carlos, 4.8% A crisp, pale lager brewed with a touch of flaked maize.

Mexican Lager, Del Cielo, Martinez, 5.0%. House Mexican Lager. This traditional Mexican style beer celebrates Hispanic heritage with its light body and crisp finish. We used Saaz hops for a soft bitterness that brings an aroma of herbs and spice

Mexican Amber Lager, Old Caz, Santa Rosa, 5.3% The year is 2012, and we had just finished working 2 weeks in the sweltering Coachella Valley. Upon finishing, we sat down, ordered a Negra Modelo, and became so satiated by the beverage that we swore then and there to one day brew a beer that could remind us of that glorious moment. Chismosa is a malt focused, clean, and crushable Mexican Amber Lager, and it’s name comes from the Spanish word Chisme, or, to gossip. Style: Mexican Amber Lager Specs: 5.8% ABV; 23 IBUs Hops: Cascade, Hallertau Grain: 2-row, Flaked corn

American Lager, Morgan Territory, Tracy, 4.9% A Malt Driven Beer: An American original, American Lagers were first brewed following prohibition and World War 2. These lagers were popular because of the light favors achieved by supplementing traditional barley with rice and corn. The resulting beers became very popular for their crisp, refreshing qualities and lower alcohol. Our interpretation follows that intent but utilizes a modern hop, Callista, to bring a floral/citrus quality to the beer. It’s light-bodied with elevated carbonation.

German Pilsner, Temescal, Oakland, 5.1% "Temescal Pils" is the result of two years of Pilsner experimentation: a 5.0% Pilsner that's soft, aromatic, flavorful, and doesn't adhere to traditional styles. Hop forward but not out of balance in any one way. We haven't previously committed to always offering any one beer, but we love this recipe so much and want to make it more widely available. A crisp and refreshing Pilsner that simultaneously pleases both the “beer-flavored beer” seeking consumer and the pedantic beer connoisseur (2018 GABF competition finalist).
