Tasting Room now open Sunday 12-6PM

Starting this Sunday, our Tasting Room will be open on Sundays from 12-6PM! We’ve decided to go big for our first Sunday, so here is a list of the festivities we have in store for you...

NEW DRAFT SOUR RELEASE | Map of the Sun – golden sour beer aged in oak barrels with apricots. Think juicy apricot and apricot jam with a moderate acidity. Available on draft and as Founder’s Fill!

BARREL SAMPLE RELEASE | Puppy Love - a barrel sample of our unreleased golden sour beer aged in an oak barrel with boysenberries, which will be served directly from a 5 gallon oak barrel, uncarbonated and at room temperature. 100% of the proceeds from Puppy Love will be donated to our neighbors at the Berkeley East Bay Humane Society for their annual block party and fundraiser, Bark (& Meow) Around The Block. Available this Sunday only.

CELLARD BOTTLES FOR IN-HOUSE CONSUMPTION | We’re pulling a few cases of our bottled beers available for consumption in the Tasting Room. Available at noon while supplies last...

Ensorcelled (Founders Club only) – dark sour aged in oak with raspberries, 2014 World Beer Cup Gold Medal Winner in the American Sour Ale category

Shadows Of Their Eyes – dark sour aged in oak barrels, 2014 World Beer Cup Bronze Medal winner in the Belgian-Style Flanders Oud Bruin or Oud Red Ale category

Proportional Response – amber sour aged in oak barrels, a blend of an assertively sour red with a faintly tart pale

BOTTLES TO TAKE HOME | Sourtooth Tiger, golden sour aged in oak with ginger. Limit 3 per person.

SELF-GUIDED TOUR | We’re expanding the Tasting Room area on Sunday to include access into the part of the production area.

GUEST TAPS | Our buddies at Societe Brewing in San Diego decided to make a special delivery to the Bay Area for our first Sunday being open (well, not really just for us… but their timing was perfect!). We’ll have

Societe Brewing Co. - The Pugilist (2014 World Beer Cup Silver Medal in the Irish-Dry Stout Category)

Societe Brewing Co. - The Pupil, an outstanding IPA

Cellarmaker Brewing Co. - Peach Killiah IPA (IPA w/150 lbs of peaches)

Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday!
