Gilman Brewing Daly City 2001 Junipero Serra Boulevard

A classic, traditional German Pilsner, no corners cut. With a nod to our German friends just down the street producing a fantastic lagerbier here in Berkeley. Soft water, German Pilsner malt, a big dose of Saaz and Tettnanger hops…lagered bright for over six weeks to allow for that classic malty smoothness to develop…. Crisp malt notes perfectly balanced against moderate, firm bitterness. Spicy and floral hop notes with a smooth refreshing finish…. What more could you want in a beer? ABV 4.9%

Our Amber Mexican Style Lager is crisp and malty with a hint of Rye spice and a slight floral aroma of a dry hop. ABV 5.3%

A modern West Coast style IPA. Light body, aggressive bittering. Massive tropical/dank/citrus aroma and flavors from huge late additions of Amarillo, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops. ABV 6.5%

Mr. Froggy had himself a little bit too much swamp juice and next thing you know he’s wearing a funny hat and pedaling a unicycle…this juicy version of a West Coast IPA might have you doing the same thing. Super light crisp body. Tropical and juicy, with an inappropriately large amount of Motueka, Mosaic and Simcoe. Best enjoyed while wearing a bowler and pedaling an old timey bicycle. Keep it smooth Mr. Froggy…keep it smooth. ABV 6.5%

We took or golden Belgian style sour and aged it with Guava and Blood Orange for a crazy tropical experiment. The tangy, funky guava fruit pairs perfectly with the crisp, citrusy, malty notes of the sour. Aromas of sharp, funky, tangy fruit transition into tangy, sour tinged, tropical fruit flavors and a soft, malty, biscuity finish. Translation: tangy, tart, tropical fruit, biscuit/malt. ABV 6%

A french inspired farmhouse style. Light, crisp body, spicy aroma from a special house strain saison yeast and the use of wheat. Dry finish.ABV 7.5%

An aggressively hopped West Berkeley style IPA. Old-school style with light balanced body, aggressive bittering hops, massive fresh hop aroma and flavor (grapefruit/pine). ABV 8.5%

Classic, refreshing Lager. Smooth, light, crisp. Our homage to the red-white-and-blue beers that helped build this brewery ABV 5%

Our version of a traditional Black Lager or Schwarzbier. The West Berkeley Black Lager gains its lovely dark color and hints of toasty malt and chocolate from the finest German roasted barley in the realm. Its light, crisp, refreshing finish comes from German Pilsner malt and a long luxurious six-week lagering process using a traditional bottom-fermenting German lager yeast strain. It’s light, it’s dark, it’s smooth, it’s complex, and yet refreshingly simple. Perhaps otherworldly. Perfect for long dark Bay Area nights. ABV 5.2%

Who says cats can’t play banjo?! Not us! We love music and beer…and the combination of both. As a result we have seen some strange stuff here at the Shop over the years… this might not even be the strangest thing we have seen. A deceptively light and crisp body, purposely unbalanced to showcase 7 lbs per barrel of juicy and tropical hops, this double features Mosaic, Simcoe and El Dorado. Don’t let the ABV fool you or you might end up trying to teach your cat how to play banjo too… ABV 8.5%

Bourbon barrel-aged for one year at time of bottling. A monster imperial stout with a thick, creamy, inky black body and a brown creamy head.  Rich aromas of vanilla, chocolate, coffee, toffee, bourbon, and dark roasted malt.  Luxurious flavors of bittersweet chocolate, toffee, and round roasted malt; subtle notes of vanilla, oak, tannins, and bourbon from twelve months in bourbon barrels round it out for a silky smooth finish… ABV 9.3%
