Our 2020 Art Series features photography submitted by our Instagram fans.  The second winner of our 2020 contest is Brendan Garcia — a San Diego-based photographer focusing on surf & athletic photography.  Garcia’s photo submission was the inspiration for the beer’s name — Electric Sunset.

Electric Sunset is a not-so-traditional Radler brewed with lemon juice, blackberry puree, and elderflower.  Reminiscent of summer afternoons at the lemonade stand, it’s slightly tart, a little sweet, and delightfully floral.

Electric Sunset is the last in a series of two beers in the 2020 Art Series.  We’re proud to be supporting emerging artists whose roots perfectly align with our #staycoastal lifestyle.

Our 2020 ART SERIES feature photography submitted by our Instagram fans.  The first winner of our contest is Derek Delacroix, a San Diego-based photographer who shoots black and white palm trees to support environmentalism.  Delacroix’s Instagram handle (@tropicaldarkroom). was the inspiration for the beer’s name — Tropical Darkroom Sour IPA.

Tropical Darkroom is a kettle sour IPA brewed and dry-hopped with fruit-forward Sabro and Mosaic, for a bright, tropical hop profile.  The brewers then and fresh kiwi purée to counterbalance the clean sour notes of the beer, for a refreshing tart and bitter with lingering kiwi sweetness.

Tropical Darkroom is the first in a series of three beers in the 2020 Art Series.  We’re proud to be supporting emerging artists whose roots perfectly align with our stay coastal lifestyle.

Our 2019 ART SERIES has evolved to feature photography submitted by our Instagram fans.  The fourth winner of our contest is Wyland Szabo, an Oceanside-based aerial photographer. Szabo’s aerial shot of multi-colored surfboards in the water was the inspiration for “Mango Sprinkles”.

Mango Sprinkles Hazy IPA is a playful twist on the popular haze craze.  The brewers started with a hazy IPA recipe and upped the ante with fresh mango puree.  The beer is then fermented with a centuries-old strain of Norwegian farmhouse ale yeast, called Kveik (Norwegian for yeast).  This yeast strain imparts esters of lime and citrus, to perfectly complement the mango and hop character.

Mango Sprinkles Hazy IPA is the fourth in series of four beers in the 2019 Art Series.  We’re proud to be supporting emerging artists whose roots perfectly align with our stay coastal lifestyle.

Tiki Sunset ia a kettle sour inspired by a classic tiki cocktail called Chi-Chi. A close cousin to the Piña Colada, the Chi-Chi features pineapple, toasted coconut, and macadamia nuts.  We packed all of that goodness into Tiki Sunset, along with a touch of lactose, for a refreshingly easy-drining taste of the islands.

Cosmic Ocean is a single-hop Brut IPA. Mosaic hops give the beer bright grapefruit and pineapple notes bolstered by a slight coconut flavor from the addition of toasted rice flakes.  True to brut fashion, Cosmic Ocean finishes bone dry, with an effervescent and refreshing finish.
