We love beer, and we love living in Sonoma County. From our Pilsner to our IPA, each of our beers has been brewed true to style, but with our own Northern California twist. Because we want to preserve the privilege of living in this beautiful region of the world for the next generation, we are pioneering new brewing tech and utilizing renewable energy to help establish new benchmarks of sustainable brewing.
We brewed this IPA specifically for those that are endlessly searching for unique hop flavor and aromatic expression. Intensely aromatic, Shatter Cone features a bouquet of strawberry, stone fruit, melon, citrus and sweet cannabis. The palate is bright, crisp, and acidic with a punch of clean bitterness which gives way to a lemon/orange and concord grape profile overlaid on a neutral malt canvas.
Rooted in the history of Köln (Cologne), Germany, Kölsch is an old-world beer style known for its subtly understated flavors of malt and fruit. We enhance this delicate-yet-delicious flavor profile with floral hop nobility and a distinct San Francisco sourdough character to create an homage to the traditional Kölsch beer with a modern twist.
After a full-day brewing beer, this pilsner is the go-to beer for most on our team. Alluvium is made with European-style malt which is sustainably grown and malted right here in California. Mirroring the ancient floor malting techniques of the best and oldest German breweries, this Pilsner gets 100% of its malt from Admiral Maltings located in Alameda, CA. Generously hopped, Alluvium is aromatically imbued with spicy noble hops and a pleasantly bitter finish. Prost!
This IPA is an IPA for hop heads. Each hop is loaded with essential oils redolent of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine. Built upon a luxurious malt foundation and dry-hopped with Mosaic, Azacca and Simcoe, Megathrust bursts with flavors of mango, pineapple, papaya, and tangerine. This incredibly well-balanced IPA with a slick oily mouthfeel and the warmth of 7.5% ABV create an experience that demands a return trip. Enjoy!
“We have one rule: create flavor profiles that change the way you think about beer.”
“Ever since someone tasted the fermented water used in bread making, beer has been an inextricable part of our culture.”
Our philosophy is simple: if we want to make great beer today, tomorrow, and for years to come, we must be good stewards of our resources and our community. We subscribe to the “3 P’s” of Sustainable Business: People, Planet, and Prosperity.
• Be the most water-efficient brewer in the world, establishing a 2:1 water-to-beer ratio
• Operate a full-production brewery completely powered by 100% renewable energy
• Implement & explore new zero-waste practices
• Support our local community and contribute to our local economy
• Establish sustainable business practices and actively share with our industry peers
Water conservation is a priority for all Californians, so we challenged ourselves to build the most water efficient brewery in the world. Our goal: an unprecedented 2:1 water-to-beer ratio. How will we pull this off? We partnered with Cambrian to build the first-of-its-kind EcoVolt Mini, which will enable us to capture, clean, and reuse 90% of our wastewater for cleaning and other brewery uses.
The Water, Hops, and Barley aren’t the only natural ingredients in our beer. Our brewery is 100% powered the locally sourced, renewable geothermal energy of Sonoma Clean Power’s EverGreen program. Our team also incorporated a few more innovative engineering tricks into the design of the brewery which help reduce our energy consumption.
Did you know cans help preserve beer quality better than glass? It’s true. That’s why all of our packaged beer will be in CANS ONLY. Canning beer is also better for the environment, as it is lighter to ship than glass (reducing fossil fuel usage), requires less energy to chill (and keep cold), is more likely to be recycled than bottles, and it requires less energy to convert recycled material to brand new cans.
