IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR!

Hazelnut Perk - Coffee Blonde conditioned on Cacao Nibs and Hazelnuts - 5.0% ABV⁣⁣.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Our favorite holiday variant is back! One of our regulars, Pepe, planted a Hazelnut Perk can in his backyard a few years ago in hopes of having a supply at home. And wouldnt you know, it happens to blossom every winter! We’re sharing that supply with everyone, a holiday miracle!

Notes of rich hazelnut, creamy milk chocolate and freshly roasted coffee make up the wonderful aroma and flavor of this ultra fun beer, drinks smooth and delicious!

BIXBIER

Bixbier Schwarzbier brewed by Ambitious Ales in Long Beach, CA

KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND THE KNOLLS

BIXBIER - German Style Schwarzbier. 5.3% ABV.

We brewed up this German Style Schwarzbier in honor of the neighborhood we call home. A land with coffee and beer as far as the eye can see. Where community thrives and our neighbors lift each other up. And where the cutest lil national park you’ve ever seen hosts breathtaking views. We’re proud to play a part in this community that welcomed us with open arms, this one’s for the Knolls!

Bixbier is a beautifully crisp black lager that has a light roast and semi-sweet flavor profile with notes of dark caramel, cocoa nibs and Pumpernickel bread. An excellent Bier for the winter season!

BAH-TEH BAH-TEH CHOC-O-LA-TEH

Bah-Teh Bah-Teh Choc-o-la-teh Mexican Style Hot Chocolate Mocha Stout brewed by Ambitious Ales in Long Beach CA

THATS A MOUTHFULL!

BAH-TEH BAH-TEH CHOC-O-LA-TEH - Mexican Style Hot Chocolate Mocha Stout with Coffee, Cocoa Nibs, Vanilla, Cinnamon and Chile de árbol. 7.0% ABV. Collab with Craft Beer LB Homebrew Invitational Winner David Dillon

Let’s give David a big congrats for winning the Craft Beer LB Homebrew Invitational! Part of the prize for winning was brewing his recipe with us on our system at Ambitious. (What a lucky guy!) Spelled out phonetically, Bah-teh is a play on the traditional Mexican children’s rhyme used to teach the process of making hot chocolate!

The aroma POPS with wintery wisps of nutmeg, cinnamon and spices, followed by tasting notes of chiles, chocolate, coffee and vanilla. 

Fun fact: When we were doing research on the name, we saw numerous results from Dora the Explorer teaching the song. David was (pleasantly?) surprised to find this out. Congrats again on your big win and enjoy your Dora themed label David!

MUTANTS FROM TABLE 9

Mutants From Table 9. Ambitious Ales and Bottle Logic. Brewed in Long Beach CA

We teamed up with our friends over at @bottlelogicbrewing to make one for that guy right there and that lady with the sideburns.

Mutants From Table 9 - Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine with Peach, Granola and Vanilla. 12.0% ABV.

For just over 2 years, this barleywine has been aging in a trio of bourbon barrels: 1/3rd Russell’s Reserve + 2/3rds Elijiah Craig. This cute lil Can O’ Mutants is like taking a bite of Peach Cobbler  alongside a sip of Bourbon neat. Luscious notes of caramel, molasses, raisins, with hints of peach and vanilla.

CZECH DECK

Czech Deck Czech Style pilsner brewed in Long Beach CA by Ambitious Ales

BORN AND BRED TO RIP AND SHRED

Czech Deck - 12° Czech Style Pilsner. 5.0% ABV.

We’re dropping hammers with our latest Czech Pilz. Made with Floor Malted Bohemian Malt and a gnarly amount of Czech Saaz Hops. This little shredder pops effortlessly with a crispy golden color, setting up an awesome foam, a soft mouthfeel and firm bitterness all backed up with a zesty floral hop character. 

Shoutout THE DAWES (@matthewgordondawes) for the sick Czech pun and @karpinsk for inspiring our label artwork with his incredible skate photos (Czech them out!).
