fresh can releases

A juicy hop bomb that teeters on the edge of insanity! OTF will knock you off your throne and have you putting the pieces of your mind back together after one taste! Citra. Mosaic. Idaho 7.
Bright, delicious, and exceptionally light! A balanced dose of Lemondrop and Citra hops add pleasant aromas of lemongrass and citrus peel. A juicy modern interpretation of a classic lager style!
Light, crisp, and éspecially crushable. The “Shifty” is a post-shift cerveza that quenches your thirst after a long day. Made with a healthy dose of flaked corn, Shifty Especial is full of flavor and pretty a-maize-ing.

Featured Draft Beers

Han-cho solo

Porter (6.0%) Side Gate has gone to the Dark Side! Han-cho Solo Porter smuggles in aromas of dried figs, brown sugar, rugged good looks, and just a touch of moral ambiguity. Brewed with toasted Ancho chiles, Han-cho’s flavor takes your taste buds on a roasty trip around the galaxy in under 12 parsecs, leaving behind a mild spice that will make you say “These ARE the chiles I’ve been looking for.”

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!

Summernaniganz

Hazy DIPA (8.0%) Our first Hazy Double IPA in more than 2 years and oh boi, is it a juicy one thanks to huge additions of Strata, Riwaka, Citra and Idaho 7 Cryo. Bursting with notes of fresh Bartlet pear, lychee, guava, key lime, and coming in at 8%, Summernaniganz is crisp and juicy enough to keep your summer bod in tact, but thicc enough to get you that Dad Bod you've always wanted.
