Ocean Beach takes us back to the West Coast. We've decided to go back to the drawing board with our West Coast pales and try out various hop combinations and yeast experimentation to find a Pale that hits the spot in terms of bitterness, brightness and refreshment. It's a triple C bill in this with Centennial, Chinook and Columbus. Let us know what you think.
