Who says cats can’t play banjo?! Not us! We love music and beer…and the combination of both. As a result we have seen some strange stuff here at the Shop over the years… this might not even be the strangest thing we have seen. A deceptively light and crisp body, purposely unbalanced to showcase 7 lbs per barrel of juicy and tropical hops, this double features Mosaic, Simcoe and El Dorado. Don’t let the ABV fool you or you might end up trying to teach your cat how to play banjo too… ABV 8.5%

Cats in space. Yep. We love kitties. And space. And Beer. Featuring a Maris Otter and flaked oat malt bill for radical smoothness and 7lb/bbl of some super fresh Citra, Cascade and Simcoe hops. Juicy, fruity, dank… somehow strangely smooth yet still crisp…?It’s a beer,… Drink It RIGHT MEOW while it's still nice and fresh please. ABV 5.7%

We took or golden Belgian style sour and aged it with Guava and Blood Orange for a crazy tropical experiment. The tangy, funky guava fruit pairs perfectly with the crisp, citrusy, malty notes of the sour. Aromas of sharp, funky, tangy fruit transition into tangy, sour tinged, tropical fruit flavors and a soft, malty, biscuity finish. Translation: tangy, tart, tropical fruit, biscuit/malt. ABV 6%

A modern West Coast style IPA. Light body, aggressive bittering. Massive tropical/dank/citrus aroma and flavors from huge late additions of Amarillo, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops. ABV 6.5%

Our Amber Mexican Style Lager is crisp and malty with a hint of Rye spice and a slight floral aroma from a light dry hop. This puppy drinks easy. Perfect for a relaxed night in by yourself, sure throw on those comfy sweatpants, who cares? Self-care is the name of the game, honey. Don’t stress yourself out. Crack open a cold beer, order some delivery, and binge watch your favorite show. You’ve earned it. ABV 5.3%

A classic, traditional German Pilsner, no corners cut. With a nod to our German friends just down the street producing a fantastic lagerbier here in Berkeley. Soft water, German Pilsner malt, a big dose of Saaz and Tettnanger hops…lagered bright for over six weeks to allow for that classic malty smoothness to develop…. Crisp malt notes perfectly balanced against moderate, firm bitterness. Spicy and floral hop notes with a smooth refreshing finish…. What more could you want in a beer? ABV 4.9%
