FEATURED BEERS
Alpha Acid Brewing Co. + Silicon Valley Breweries
Cloud Based - Official SFBW Collab Release
Oat Cream Pale Ale
5.8% ABV
From the Silicon Valley brewers of the Bay Area Brewers Guild, prepared & brewed by Alpha Acid Brewing Co. (host brewery), Clandestine Brewing, Freewheel Brewing Co., Drake's Brewing Co. (recipe breweries)... Upload a fluffy tropical Cloud Based Compression IPA — delivering those big hop flavors — all dialed in. It’s a collaborative venture from — who else — the Silicon Valley brewers. Engineered from 2-Row malt, Admiral Maltings Gallagher’s Best malt and the pillowy contributions of Admiral Maltings Clipper Oats, Cloud Based is powered by Strata and Galaxy hops.
Speakeasy Ales & Lagers + San Francisco Breweries
Common Dreams - Official SFBW Collab Release
California Common
5.3% ABV
From the San Francisco brewers of the Bay Area Brewers Guild, prepared & brewed with hands-on care by Speakeasy Ales & Lagers (host brewery), Bartlett Brewing Co., Laughing Monk Brewing Co. (recipe breweries)... This modern San Francisco lager is a nod to one of the original San Francisco beers — updated with vibrant hop varieties developed in New Zealand and America. With an underpinning of flavors from two craft grain products, Admiral Maltings Feldblume Malt and Canadien Maltings Oat Malt, Common Dreams ties brewing heritage to the 21st Century delights of Motueka, Nelson Sauvin and Strata hops.
Sonoma Springs Brewing Co. + North Bay Breweries
North Bay Nexus - Official SFBW Collab Release
Pale Ale
6% ABV
From the North Bay brewers of the Bay Area Brewers Guild, prepared and brewed with hands-on care by Sonoma Springs Brewing Co. (host brewery), Marin Brewing Co., Wolfhouse Brewing Co. (recipe breweries)... This contemporary Pale Ale is new beer at the balancing point: crisp, balanced, citrus, tropical and subtly spicy. Brewed with Admiral Maltings Pilsner, Wheat, Oats, and Rye malts and utilizing old and new brewing techniques to deliver a crisp, balanced brew, North Bay Nexus is infused with brightness from Citra, Amarillo, Saphir and Mandarina Bavaria hops. Nuanced spice notes from the grain bill combined with citrus and tropical notes from the hop additions result in a refreshing beer suitable for any drinking occasion.
Drake's Brewing Co. + East Bay Breweries
Rice Stratasphere - Official SFBW Collab Release
Rice IPA
7% ABV
From the East Bay brewers of the Bay Area Brewers Guild, prepared & brewed with hands-on care by Drake’s Brewing Co. (host brewery), Original Pattern Brewing Co., Ghost Town Brewing, Shadow Puppet Brewing Co. (recipe breweries)... Rice Stratasphere delivers an aromatic explosion: tropical, dank and onward into the strata. One of the best new hops to hit the tanks lately is Strata, a monster of a hop with huge aromatics of citrus, indica, and guava. Citra and Denali hops add further layers of complexity, while a dry and clean body from extra pale Pilsner malt, Admiral Pils and puffed Jasmine rice give these hops room to shine.
Alvarado Street Brewery + Coast Breweries
Surf 'n Burps - Official SFBW Collab Release
West Coast Double IPA
9% ABV
From the Coast brewers of the Bay Area Brewers Guild, prepared and brewed with hands-on care by Alvarado Street Brewery (host brewery), Peter B's Brewpub, Hop Dogma Brewing Co. (recipe breweries)... This is an exceptionally bright, true-to-form West Coast Double IPA, Bay Area-style.Surf 'n Burps features exciting new hop varieties that include Cashmere and Sabro, along with the always popular Mosaic. Strong citrus notes of lemon and lime combine with peach, pineapple and coconut flavors and aromas from this blend of hops. A firm, but smooth bitterness follows before finishing bone dry, without the faintest kiss of alcohol from this 9.0% beast. This coastal classic is crafted on a base of Admiral Maltings Pilsner and American 2-Row malts.
