Strange things are happening at Side Gate with our newest, juiciest, dankiest, haziest, monstrosity to date! The Hopside Down is loaded with a scary amount of Riwaka and Mosaic, emitting mind blowing notes of fresh pineapple, yuzu, and dank.
Sucker for Succulents is teeming with aromas of juicy mangos and tangerines. Balanced with a greenhouse worth of grassy and danky bitterness. Dry-hopped with Mosaic in addition to hefty kettle additions of Columbus and Simcoe.

Featured Draft Beers

Dark Bark

Black Lager (6.0%) Made in collaboration with the homies from Four Legs Brewing! A black lager, aka Schwarzbier, gives off roasty toasty notes like a stout with the subtle sweetness and drinkability of a lager! Notes of French Roast coffee, Luxardo cherries, and rye bread, but finishes as dry, smooth and crispy as any lager beer you’ve had before.

Resin Ripper

IPA (6.4%) This isn't your average IPA. It's an I-P-Bay! Super dank without that stank! We’ve mixed our juiciest Mosaic with our stickiest Columbus, then took a trip down south to drop in a METRIC ton of Australian Vic Secret and NZ Nelson Cryo. Legend has it that one sip of this and you’ll be ripping down a resin wave pipeline from The Bay to Bondi!

The Hopside Down

Hazy IPA (6.8%) Strange things are happening at Side Gate with our newest, juiciest, dankiest, haziest, monstrosity to date! The Hopside Down is loaded with a scary amount of Riwaka and Mosaic, emitting mind blowing notes of fresh pineapple, yuzu, and dank.
