R...YOU GOING TO THE MALL LATER?

COUCH? C… O...

R… You Going To The Mall Later? - Wine Barrel Aged Lychee Sangria Style Ale. 6.0% ABV.

There’s no way we were missing this one… We may not be the best spellers here, but we definetealy want to know if you’re going to the mall this weekend!

R… You Going To The Mall Later is a very limited release thats been sitting in our Red Wine Puncheons waiting for this very moment to shine! Made with a crispy Blonde base and aged for 18 months in our barrels. We added Lychee and Sangria to the base to make this as polished as a spelling bee champ.

We were inspired by classic farmhouse beers for this curious sipper. A sophisticated and complex profile with notes of french oak and white grape, with an added sweetness from the Sangria and Lychee. We’re getting fun natty white wine vibes with a nice tannic finish. This one will be delightful in the Beer Garden!

Come give it a try this weekend on draft and in bottels to go at our 7th Annivarsery Celebration! *Limit 1 Bottle per Customer* Available FRIDAY MARCH 27TH!

CRYING WITH SANTA

🎅😭 HO HO NOOOOOO! 😭🎅

Crying With Santa - Triple Hazy IPA Triple Dry Hopped with Citra Dynaboost, Dolcita, Krush, Krush Cyro and Nectaron Cryo. 10.5% ABV.

Nothing transports us back to the mall more than a picture with Ol’ Sandy Claus. We may not have been happy in the moment, may have been scratching and clawing for our mommy, but it’s a pillar of many childhoods and a memory that lasts a lifetime. That jolly fella sure did terrorize a lot of us.

We’re hoping Crying With Santa will form some positive lasting memories and end up on the nice list (unlike that bad boy Ross). With three times the recommended amount of haze, this one will get you feeling nostalgic REAL quick.

We asked Santa for a delicious Triple Hazy IPA recipe and he delivered with this dangerously drinkable tiki-inspired juice bomb. We’re loving the big POG juice flavors and the ultra pale color! This Triple Hazy surprises with a deceptively light body, helping it drink like a normal Hazy but packing a punch bigger than Santa’s belly!

DOUBLE CORNDOGGIN'

A COLLAB WORTH IT’S WEIGHT IN CORNDOGS

Double Corn Doggin’ - West Coast Double IPA double dry hopped with Krush Cryo, Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, Citra and Motueka Collab with @highlandparkbrewery. 8.2% ABV.

We are truly honored to collab on this Anniversary beer with the kind and insanely talented humans over at @highlandparkbrewery. With a wink to their Hot Doggin West Coast IPA and a nod to our theme this year (and stupidity), we agreed it would be very fitting to base this one around the most iconic mall treat out there…The Majestic Corn Dog. If we’re taking a West Coast and doubling it, we’re going to have to do the same with the Corn Dogs. Just look how happy they are stuck together!

*Double Corn Doggin’ doesn’t have any actual real live Corn Dogs in it*

…but it does have a tasty combination of hops! Incredibly smooth, medium-bodied and carefully balanced. We get massive amounts of grapefruit on the nose accompanied by an entire bowl of citrus that smacks our taste buds. Rounding out with some serious oily hop resin, notes of candied peach and a crispy finish!

Sometimes people come together for the most beautiful reasons, and sometimes they come together for Corn Dogs. We hope you enjoy this treat from us and our friends at @highlandparkbrewery!

CALAMANSI CORNER

MABREWHAY!

Calamansi Corner - Gose brewed with Calamansi, Cucumber, Coriander and Sea Salt. 4.5% ABV.

How far can we lean into this Mall theme? FAR ENOUGH!

We’re finding inspiration in every “corner” of the mall 😏, and for this Anniversary release we’re putting a refreshing twist to one of our favorite Filipino mall staples.

Smooth, delightful, charming & cute ☺️

(just talkin’ bout our lil Cala-Mascot)

This fruited Gose is wonderfully balanced between complex flavors. Tart Calamansi citrus combined with cool & fresh Cucumber, subtle Sea salt and charismatic Coriander makes this a PANTASTIC POURSOME that keeps us sipping for more & more. 

Special thanks to @saludjuice for taking the time to process all the fresh cucumbers needed for this one 💚

Come chismis with all the Tito’s & Tita's and try Calamansi Corner at this weekend’s Ambitious Mall!

I LIKE TUTTLES

A SAISON… IN CANS?!

I Like Tuttles - Belgian Style Saison. 5.0% ABV.

Inspired by the original tenants of our lovely space, @tuttlecameras, and referenced with that viral video filmed on the Portland Waterfront where we fell in love with craft beer. Sometimes things just all work out.

Our building was built in the 1940’s with @tuttlecameras being the very first business here. After 70 plus years, they moved down the street. Shortly after, we moved in, becoming just the 2nd tenant to call this historic building home. It looked a lot different then, drop ceilings, a camera showroom and a lot of offices! After all the build out (Thanks Jon ❤️) it’s changed a bit but still has that charm! Their iconic sign still lives above the space to pay homage to their time here and in the community (and it’s reallyyy pretty). 

This Saison takes all that charm and puts it right in your glass. Delightful notes of citrus, clove and spice create a complex and flavorful beer that’s crisp, dry and refreshing. The perfect pairing with a warm day and a fresh roll of film in your camera. 

Our label takes inspiration from a fun neighborhood photo walk with a retro aesthetic. Characters pausing to capture moments along the way. Check out those negatives to see what they shot!

Come give Tuttles a try and take your own photo walk!

NICE TO EACH OTHER

A REALLY NICE HAZY

Nice to Each Other - Hazy IPA with Pink Boots Blend, Peacharine and Kohia Nelson. Brewed on behalf of @pinkbootssociety @pinkboots.la 6.8% ABV.

We’re honored to host another @pinkbootssociety @pinkboots.la collab day. This time we brewed up a nice Hazy with the help of some wonderful Women in our community.

@pinkboots.la strives to expand opportunities for Women and Non-Binary individuals in the beverage industry. Our collab day was a hands on experience filled with a run down on the brew process, a tour of our cellar, hop rubbing, a sensory panel, plus help graining out and adding hop additions! After the sensory panel they selected which hops to add to the beer to really make it pop. We’re grateful for everyone who made it out this year and made this brew a special one.

Nice to Each Other is a Pineapple forward, Tropical Fruit Bomb! Bursting with Candy and Creamsicle notes, and a soft creaminess that keeps alllll those flavors slow dancing on your tongue!

FLIGHT OF THE FORKLIFTS

FRESH WEST COAST COMING IN FOR LANDING!

Flight of the Forklifts - West Coast IPA with Mosaic, Simcoe Dynaboost, Nectaron Cryo and Simcoe. Collab with @originalpattern. 6.8% ABV.

We were stoked to have the guys from @originalpattern fly down for the day and learned about this fascinating story of their forklift getting stolen from right in front of their building. Turns out their’s wasn’t the only one. Our sources tell us there may have been some cartel involvement and numerous forklifts went missing in Oakland that fateful day. We like to imagine it looked something like this.

This West Coast is as complex as an organized forklift stealing crime syndicate. We’re getting bigggg Dank notes paired with a delicious medley of Grapefruit, Pine and Citrus.

Come give it a try before it flys away!

GRANPAPA

WAT IS IT GRANPAPA??

It’s beautiful, It’s magical, it’s laughing at us. We wish we could brush our teeth with it. We wish we could make it into ice blocks and skate on it, and then melt it in the spring time and drink it! It’s…

Granpapa - German Style Kölsch. 5.0% ABV.

Some have called it the greatest beer in all z world. We think it’s pretttty nice too. A beautiful light golden hue. Brewed with 100% Weyermann pilsner and wheat, hopped delicately and spunded in the tank (a natural carbonation process, creating smaller more expressive bubbles that lead to a softer, pillowy mouthfeel). A very true German Style Kolsch. Extremely drinkable with subtle fruity esters and a crispy finish!
