Our beers are brewed in tribute to styles and brewing methods that originated here in the Bay Area during this pre-prohibition era— more specifically during the Gold Rush days. We use lager yeast, but ferment at ale temperatures—as did early immigrant gold-seekers trying to recreate European lagers in the warmer Bay Area climate. Naturally carbonated and unfiltered, our beers burst on the palate with a fresh-from-the-tank flavor, crispness, and pop that screams: “Handmade in small batches!”.
