GRAPE APE IPA: 7.1% abv
Once selected by the L.A. Times as the Most Important SoCal Craft Beer of 2013, The Ape as returned…with a vengeance! This version of the infamous Grape Ape IPA was brewed with Muscat and Semillon grape must and generously hopped with Topaz, Mosaic and Cascade. Read more about Grape Ape and its evolution HERE.
This version of Grape Ape IPA clocks in at 7.1%. Expect a huge bouquet of tropical hop aroma with notes of lychee, mango and candied lemon peel. Belgian Pilsner malt and wheat lend a light bread crust character to complement the tropical hop and grape berry character.
Fun Fact: This is the first time we’ve repeated the recipe. After 2 years of experimentation we feel like we might…just might have found the perfect combination of hops and wine must. Come and see if you agree! We withhold the right to change the recipe in the future should our whims or expertise tell us to!
WEIRD BEER: 6.5% abv
We’re all a little Weird…it’s true. Weird Beer returns and this time around there’s more weird stuff in it but it’s definitely found a wonderful herbal balance between the added ingredients and the Belgian yeast. This version was made with fresh Lemon Verbena, Lemon Thyme, Lemon Peel, Coriander, Sage and Chamomile. Much of which was grown at the brewery. This delightful beer refreshingly bridges the gap between the heat of late summer and welcomed fall temps. Just say, Hello Weirdo!
Both Weird Beer and Grape Ape IPA will see distribution in the Greater L.A. Market!
Available in the taproom for tasters, full pours and growler fills while supplies last.

We will be releasing Grape Ape IPA June 23rd for LA Beer Week. We know it has been a long time but we don’t have access to the necessary hops to make it more often. Hope you can join us for the release! -L
