What better way can you make your mustache’s dreams come true than by filling it with a creamy, satisfying stout?

Wai Ola
Wai Ola, meaning “water of life” in Hawaiian, was precisely the vibe Head Brewer, Chris Wood was aiming to capture in developing this light, California style ale. This beer was meant to be easy drinking but packs tons of summer flavor, thanks to additions of not just coconut water, but roasted coconut flakes in multiple stages of the brewing process. Mahalo! Notes: pale ale, subtle coconut, hints of tropical and pine hops, strong coconut aroma.
Shoobie
Shoobies were city folks who journeyed to the beach by train in the late 1800’s. Their ticket included a shoe box lunch, hence the name. Since then the term is now a pet name for tourists who feed seagulls, wear socks with flip flops or just seem generally confused by the seashore. So sad. So cute. We love us some shoobies. Notes: Blonde ale, pale gold, slightly floral, easy drinking.

Even Hell is looking for more diversity these days. That is why a lot of folks claim Billy, from Human Resources, was appointed the new Lord of Darkness. Like Billy, this beer is a little unexpected. The unholy joining of El Dorado, Centennial, Columbus, Cascade, and Mosaic hops and 7.3% Alc. by Vol. leaves souls begging for a drink of water. Not today, Satan. Not today.
