A Tall Tale…

As the story goes, Tall Guy Brewing has been a dream of mine since college.
I first became interested in beermaking as a microbiology student at Cal Poly, when I came across homebrewing in a textbook. I’d always been fascinated with microbes, and I liked drinking beer, but I’d never thought much about the production of it. I became intrigued. Growing up, my dad had brewed beer in our kitchen, so I collected his old equipment and started brewing myself, sharing my results with my appreciative dorm buddies.  Read More . . .

Freshly Brewed

Munoz especial

A Mexican-style lager, this light-bodied, light-colored brew is typical of domestic examples on the market. Can be considered a Vienna lager as Brewmasters of central Europe brought their practices when they migrated to the New World in the 19th century & established breweries in Mexico. Cold-brewed, crisp & refreshing.

4.85 ABV / 18 IBU

Moonlight Mild

An English Mild; a traditional British ale defined by its malt-forward character, low bitterness, and low alcohol content. A “sessionable” beer designed  for its drinkability. Crystal malts and a dash of chocolate malt five this beer its dark amber color and caramel toffee flavor

3.6% ABV / 14 IBU

Haagy’s Hefe

A classical Bavarian hefeweizen brewed with malted wheat. Bavarian yeast adds phenol and ester compounds giving the beer a clove-like, “bubble gum” flavor. Color and body are both light, making Haagy’s Hefe a refreshing, thirst-quenching brew.

5% ABV / 13 IBU

Must Be Helles

A classic Bavarian Helles, brewed with 100% imported German malts & hops. The Helles style, originating in mid-19th century Bavaria, is Germany’s response to the Bohemian Pilsner. Light-colored–Helles means “light” in German–but less bitter & more malt-forward than a Pils, consistent with other Bavarian beers, like Hefeweizen. Munich Lager yeast gives Oktoberfest flavor.

5.5% ABV / 16 IBU

Bock & A Hard Place

A big, bold, malty German lager. High alcohol and low bitterness create a malty balance of flavor and extended cold storage creates a smooth finish. The use of imported all-German ingredients makes this dark amber colored brew authentic to this ancient style of beer. 

7.5% ABV / 30 IBU

Pat’s Pale Ale

An old-school, 1980’s-style Pale Ale. Brewed with Two-Row and Caramel Malt. Late-Hopped with Chinook.

5.3% ABV / 40 IBU

Beast of Burton IPA

We’re calling this Burton IPA which is a beer to mimic the first-ever IPAs brewed in Burton-on-Trent England in the mid 19th century. Brewed with 100% imported UK malts, hops and yeast, this beer is authentic style. Like it’s ancestors, Beast of Burton was brewed with East Kent Golding hops, an ancient English hop varietal, which gives the beer a lemony-citrus finish.

8% ABV / 70 IBU

Under Assistant West Coast IPA

West Coast IPA is a subgroup of the traditional IPA. This style, made popular in San Diego, is bitter, bold and hoppy. There is no balance here, UAWC IPA is all about hops with only light-colored Two-Row malt included in the grist. Modern hopping techniques and citrus-forward hops create a beer that is very aromatic. You’ll get tropical fruit flavors, especially mango, from the abundance of hops used to make the beer.

7.5% ABV / 48 IBU.

Hazy Mama IPA

Hazy Mama is a modern Hazy IPA with heavy tropical and citrus aromas from heavy doses of late hops to the whirlpool and multiple doses of dry hops to the fermenter. The classic hazy hops, Citra and Mosaic, are joined by Roy Farms Azacca and Australia’s Galaxy hops. Raw Wheat and Rolled Oats in the grist contribute the haze in the glass and silky texture on the tongue.

6.3% ABV / 45 IBU

My Hopsession

A session IPA weighing in at 4% allows you to drink a few of them and still walk straight. The light body allows the hops to really “pop”. Eureka! hops provide a piney , dark fruit flavor aroma that is intense.

4.0% ABV / 30 IBU

Dad’s Milk Stout

An English-style beer, brewed with 100% imported UK ingredients.The addition of lactose to this nitro-infused stout produces a creamy texture and unforgettable finish. It’s worth the wait for the nitro pour!

5.8% ABV / 25 IBU

GIMME SELTZER

A hard seltzer which can be taken straight or with a shot of Torani-brand fruit syrup. Crisp, light and spritzy; a refreshing and delicious cocktail. Ask your beertender for syrup options.

5% ABV / 0 IBU
