Stout

West Coast Style

Dark beer lovers, you’re on deck. With a nod to the West Coast, we use earthy, whole-cone hops to balance Stout’s deep, roasted malt flavors. A beloved favorite — and the first beer we ever made.

The First Brewhouse

In his 1957 Chevy-turned-flatbed, our founder Ken Grossman searched West Coast salvage yards and defunct dairies for tanks, pipes, and valves to convert into a brewery. Assembly was painstaking, including hand-drilling 4,000 holes in the bottom of the mash tun. Friends thought he was crazy, but Ken wouldn’t quit.
 

When it was time to test our handiwork, we loaded it up with a heavy, dark Stout. That first batch was a 13-hour labor of love. When we sipped the first bottle, we knew we had a keeper.
