Holiday Flight

Indulge in a special holiday flight featuring a selection of festive brews:

• Merry & Brite: Merry & Brite is a classic, amber-leaning West Coast-style IPA brewed for celebrating the holiday season. Hopped with Centennial, Cascade, and Chinook, which make up our classic IPA, Merry & Brite also boasts a delicate malt base, giving this distinctive brew a clean, balanced profile to complement your holiday festivities.

• Limoncello Shandy: When life hands us lemons, we make Limoncello Shandy. Inspired by the sunshine-colored liqueur, our take on this classic Italian drink is zippy, zesty, sweet, and tart. Lightly hopped and brewed with lemon peel, this refreshing brew is perfect for sharing with family and friends.

• The Bog: What happens when you make a Cranberry Wheat and accidentally add too much cranberry? Embrace it and turn it into a Shandy! A tart cranberry wheat beer blended with lemonade, The Bog is vibrant and refreshing while still packing tons of flavor.

• Coquito: Coquito is our rum barrel-aged Imperial Cream Ale inspired by the traditional Puerto Rican Christmas drink. After extended aging in freshly-dumped rum barrels, vanillins extracted from the wood are complemented by a delicate addition of lactose on the hot side and additions of cinnamon, Madagascar vanilla beans, along with the perfect balance of coconut notes. Equally delicious around a roaring fire or on the sunny beaches of San Juan, Coquito is perfect for gathering with friends and family for holiday cheer.
