The floral accents of Tettnang hops play off the honey aroma of a pound of honey malt and honey syrup. We recommend Wyeast California Lager yeast for a clean malty finish. Although this is a lager yeast, it ferments well from 58-68F.

The signature of this beer is toasty notes backed up with maltiness and wrapped up with enough hops to balance. Very close to the namesake.

Similar to an American pale ale but different biscuit overtones and a woody/rosemary-ish hop profile from the style's signature Northern Brewer hops.

Heavy on munich malt, with Special B and light crystal adding caramel and dark fruit notes. A pinch of chocolate and roasted barley bring up the color and roastiness. Liberty is used to bitter and tettnang for finishing.

A Belgian tripel style ale - golden in color with plenty of peppery spiciness coupled with a soft malt character. This ale can be enjoyed fresh, but surely improves with age! Two pounds of clear candi sugar help to push the original gravity on this beer while maintaining a medium body. The candi sugar, the phenols from the yeast and the high carbonation contribute to a crisp, dry finish that awakens the palate. Three additions of Tettnang hops at 60, 30 and 45 minutes add just enough hop bitterness to cut through the alcohol. Either Wyeast Belgian Abbey Ale, #1214 or Trappist Ale, #3787 are good choices. Pitch yeast in the 65F range and let the temperature ramp up into the low 70s during fermentation to avoid fusel alcohols and encourage some fruitiness. due to the higher original gravity, we suggest using a yeast starter. A blow-off tube might also be a good idea.

Resiny, big and delicious, Pacific Heights always brings huge flavor to the table!

Hop Anonymous is an American IPA brewed in conjunction with Andrew Castner, Head Brewer at RAM Restaurant and Brewery in Indianapolis. A nutty malt character and fruity, spicy, and resin-like hop notes all make this a very tasty pint. Castner describes his great fermentation: I wanted to see what flavors would come from large amounts of Victory Malt. The result was a pronounced nut and toast character in the malt to go along with the citrus and herbal aspects of the American hops. Dry-hop at least a week at room temperature to create character.
