Red Rye Ale / American Amber - Featuring a combination of caramel malts, with spicy notes from the rye, balanced with the citrus flavor of American Cascade and Amarillo hops.
5.6% ABV | 16oz can
A rich, yolky-orange wheat beer, featuring the aroma of clove and fruit in perfect balance. Refreshing on a warm day with a hint of mandarin orange-like acidity. Banana-clove, effervescent, sunny.
4.8% ABV | 16oz can
Double IPA - Flashback to very early Vallejo with a much deeper representation of Nelson and intended intensity. The Nelson Sauvin hop varietal continues to be a favorite at our brewery. The white grape and spectrum fruit notes cast a very different and appreciated experience. Much like Marlborough grown Sauvignon Blanc grapes, you’re hit with fun-house flavors that are tough to not enjoy.
8.0% ABV | 16oz can
Double Dry Hopped Pale Ale – A limited DDH pale ale hopped with Mosaic and Rakau. Crisp and refreshing with juicy notes of tangerine, mango, and apricot.

Black India Pale Ale collaboration with Dryhop Brewers.
5.4% | 16oz can
Oatmeal Stout with Coffee & Vanilla
5.4% ABV | 16oz can
One of our quarterly releases in our fruit sour ale series. We like balance in our food and our beer, and so the Cushy series takes on sour beers that we felt were either too mouth-puckering sour or tooth-aching sweet. We use black cherries and lactose to add big rich dark red flavors to this fruited sour ale, that will have you coming back sip after sip.
6.0% ABV | 16oz can
Beezer is the accumulation of years of learning how to brew NE style IPAs back when not many brewers knew how. It went through 10 variations before finally settling on the name, and after a few more minor tweaks, it won Gold at GABF. Triple Beezer is the continued joy and experimentation of the series, upping the ante - bringing more citra and mosaic in concert with 2-row, wheat and oat to give depth and body.
10.0 ABV | 16oz can
Double Pantsless, Double Pale, Double the fun. This dangerously smooth, lack of slacks, boasts a center-stage profile of white peach and black tea steeped with pine stage left and terpene undertones on your right. Mosaic + Cryo Idaho 7 + Columbus.
9.0% ABV | 16oz can
Sebastian is a goat. He only drinks cold-fermented beers and he probably drums for like three or four grindcore bands. The BOCK of his namesake pours a lovely ruby hue with robust notes of raisin, cherry and a touch of brown sugar.
6.66% ABV | 16oz can
Let us surprise you with a 4-Pack of Winter Brew-worthy offerings from local breweries.
A bold, roasty, and quintessentially Spiteful stout. G.F.Y. was our first ever commercial beer release, in November 2012. Originally brewed as an Irish stout base with American intensity, G.F.Y. 2020 showcases the classic G.F.Y. recipe, and commemorates how shitty last year was with a special edition label and name. The abrasive bear delivers an aggressive stout with a message and flavor like no other.
8.0% ABV | 12oz can
