Three time GABF medal winner, including gold in 2023! Our drier, decidedly “tropical” IPA that’s light on bitterness, but heavy on hop aroma, courtesy of 100% Mosaic hops. One whiff and you get super intense notes of passion fruit, mango, and lychee. Grain bill of just American two-row malt and a clean fermentation keep it simple and allow these hops to shine.

One of our original "Hazy" double IPA's that's constantly tweaked to draw out as much juice-like character as possible, utilizing the interactions of hops & expressive yeast. Leading with Mosaic & Citra, with healthy additions of Nelson Sauvin, Galaxy and Riwaka for a tropical onslaught on the nose & palate. Bitterness is restrained, allowing for unhindered enjoyment of the heavenly mouthfeel and vivid fruit character. Read Less

Pure hop juice in a glass (or can)! Plain and simple. We combine a unique blend of hops and an expressive yeast strain to create flavors of peach rings, mango, guava and pulpy, fresh-squeezed orange. Low bitterness and a chewy, full-flavored mouthfeel conveys maximum juiciness, while maintaining balance and drinkability. Read Less

A staple hazy IPA brewed with the "holy trinity" of hops - Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic. Double Dry Hopped for maximum juice, heaps of oats & wheat for a soft, pillowy texture on the palate. Fermented with an expressive yeast strain that pumps out stone fruit flavors which complement the tropical hop oil contribution.

This was our first ever brewed IPA and remains a local favorite at our Monterey brewpub. It’s
brewed with 100% British Maris Otter pale malt as its base, which contributes a creamy texture
and a tad more body than your typical dry, West Coast IPA. As with most of our hoppy beers, a
majority of the bitterness comes directly from whirlpool additions in the boil, with the intent of
maximizing hop aroma & flavor. Minesweeper is dry hopped excessively with Simcoe and Citra
hops.

If Doc Brown were to jump in his time machine on a quest to drink a Hazy Double IPA in 2024, this would certainly be the one! That flux capacitor requires a whole lot of juice to get him back home and this beer is more than up to the task. An expressive yeast strain strikes with a bolt of tropical-fruit laden ester character, amplified by a not-so small addition of oily, luscious, lupulin rich Cryo powder. Brace yourself for a blend of mango, pink guava, pineapple and lime nectars poured over a pile of cotton candy, creamsicles and juicy fruit. Soft, silky texture, light bitterness, high drinkability. Very high gigawatts. Read Less

New age double IPA that's heavily impacted by the bright peach & stonefruit notes imparted by an East Coast yeast strain. Simple dry hop consisting of purely Citra, resulting in a citrusy/tropical melange of hop aroma and flavor; passion fruit, tangerine, pineapple, white wine-esque grape character round out with a soft bitterness.

A West Coast-style Imperial IPA that’s been in our playbook since 2014. Monster dry hop of Citra, Mosaic, Strata and Mosaic Cryo with a clean fermentation keeps it devilishly dank & lush on the nose with assertive oily hop flavor and bitterness. Dry finish, hidden alcohol makes it dangerously drinkable.
2023 World Beer Cup Silver Medalist, 2023 Gold Medalist at Bistro DIPA Fest, 2020 Silver Medalist and 2019 Gold Medalist in the Imperial IPA category at the Great American Beer Festival, and 2019 Winner of the Alpha King Challenge. Read Less

Our classic milk stout on nitro with coffee, lactose and vanilla beans. The dark malts in the grist
bring all of the espresso/chocolate/roasted notes to the table and then we amp them up with
coffee and vanilla. Then add some lactose to increase the perception of sweetness. THEN we
put it on nitro so it goes down soooo smoooth. There are a lot of different elements balancing
against each other in this beer, but it doesn’t create a complicated sip- and the result is a very
drinkable, very tasty stout. Read Less

All the tropical Mosaic & El Dorado you can handle! We kicked up the intensity level a notch on this batch in order to leverage alcohol’s ability to hold onto hop oils. The end result, in more ways than one, is our most potent batch of Runoffs to date. It delivers a burst of ripe honeydew melon, blueberry and strawberry floating atop a deep pool of citrus oil and passion fruit perfume. A silky mouthfeel and softness on the palate make for a smooth race to the finish. Eins, zwei, drei!

Everything that you love about our classic POG juice, but with the volume turned way up. It is crammed to the brim with tropical fruit flavor, but still manages to be impeccably- or should we say- dangerously, well balanced. An unapologetic island vacation in a can.

Exotic, sharply angled and engineered for maximum juice. This Hazy Double IPA was fermented with an expressive yeast strain and dry hopped heavily with Nelson Sauvin, Citra Cryo, HBC 586 & Galaxy. The resulting flavors and aromas of mango, pink guava, juicy nectarine and ripe pineapple inspire and surprise at every turn. A nuanced amount of highly refined bitterness and a sumptuously mouthfeel make for a deceptively potent quaff. Inspired by the alluring combination of form and function possessed by its namesake, a classic that looked fast even when it was sitting still.

While making beer isn't quite akin to taking the first step on the moon, our industry’s very nature demands progress through exploration and accepting certain elements of risk. If we aren't trying new things, how will we know what’s possible? This beer is a nod towards taking that leap; fermented with an expressive yeast strain for maximum ester production and a grist purpose built for maximum lupulin solubility. Hopped with nine different varieties of hops, several in the form of advanced hop products, each specifically chosen and added at specific times across four different stages. The result is an imperial IPA with an enormously complex fruit character, balanced bitterness, and a palate so soft it nearly defies gravity. Read Less

Dedicated to the Ag workers of the Salinas Valley, this is a juicy, hop forward beer that drinks more like an IPA than a traditional balanced American pale ale. The yeast strain produces nectarine-like, stone fruit esters which blend beautifully with dank hops like Eureka, Mosaic & Azacca. Enjoy this rather hazy interpretation of what we think is a damn delicious hoppy pale ale.

Juicy IPA with 100% insanely aromatic Nelson Sauvin hops from Freestyle Farms in New Zealand. We've been waiting our entire career at ASB to make a beer with this much Nelson; to us, few hops have this much tropical fruit expression. If you're into sauvignon blanc wines from the Marlborough region in New Zealand, it's uncanny how similar the hop aroma profile echoes the famous "crushed gooseberry" character these wines are famous for.
