The Breweries

What makes them special

Cellarmaker Brewing Co.

San Francisco, CA · Est. 2013

Cellarmaker doesn't do core beers. Every release is seasonal, small-batch, and obsessively crafted — built around rotating exotic hops and barrel programs that are among the most respected in Northern California. When a new Cellarmaker can hits our shelf, it won't last long.

Hazy IPA West Coast IPA Limited Releases SF Icon

Barebottle Brewing Co.

San Francisco, CA · Est. 2018

West Coast IPA Hazy IPA Creative Styles SF Local

Fieldwork Brewing Co.

Berkeley, CA · Est. 2015

No core lineup. Ever. Fieldwork's entire identity is built on rotation — every beer is a fresh experiment in hop varieties, techniques, and seasonal ingredients.

Rotating Releases Hazy IPA Double IPA Berkeley

Humble Sea Brewing Co.

Santa Cruz, CA · Est. 2015

Coastal vibes meet serious craft technique. Humble Sea's DDH foggy and hazy IPAs are intensely aromatic — pineapple, mango, tropical stone fruit — built for the Santa Cruz sun but beloved up and down the California coast. Their limited seasonal releases disappear fast. Grab them while they're here.

Foggy IPA DDH Tropical Santa Cruz

Pure Project

San Diego, CA · Est. 2017

Farm-to-glass brewing with sustainability at its core. Pure Project sources local and organic ingredients to produce beers that are as conscientious as they are delicious. Their murky and hazy IPAs showcase rare hop varieties with an effortless SoCal brightness, and their limited farmhouse ales are something truly special.

Sante Adairius Rustic Ales

Santa Cruz, CA · Est. 2011

SARA is arguably the most revered craft brewery in California — and one of the most sought-after in the country. Their Belgian-inspired farmhouse and wild ales are aged in wine and spirit barrels, with a complexity and elegance that rivals the world's best. These are not everyday beers. Treat them accordingly.

Farmhouse Ale Wild Ale Barrel-Aged Cult Status

Hop Slangin’ is jam packed with Nelson Sauvin, Galaxy, and Simcoe hops for aromas of mango and overripe passion fruit, lychee and rambutan, pine, and a slight diesel character from the Nelson Sauvin.

Cellarmaker Brewing Co. - 'Dank Statement' IPA (16OZ)

Cellarmaker Brewing Co.

'Dank Statement' IPA (16OZ)

We don’t always make triple IPAs but when we do, they are DANK. Imagine our level of stokedness to bring back this ripping West Coast banger! We swapped some hops in & out to update this to match our current ideals of what makes the best terpene driven clear & bitter beer. Mosaic, Simcoe, Strata & Centennial hops are layered in over and over to create a beer with bright aromas of strawberry daiquiri, Grand Marnier & lemon sorbet, supported by immature ganja bud and redwood forest floor. The 10% alcohol by volume is hidden well behind a high level of clean & crisp bitterness.
