Description
Launched in 2012 by by Thomas Vogel, Dave Mobley, and brewmaster Troy Smith, Belching Beaver Brewery evolved from a desire to make great beer and have a ‘Dam Good Time’ doing it. The award-winning craft beer company is focused on two things: First, have a brand that offers quality craft beer, while also being whimsical and fun to inspire good times. Each Belching Beaver beer release carries its own individual style and personality. Second, make beer for everyone and all palates. Our San Diego Brewery hosts 5 different locations serving craft beer you're going to love, of which the Oceanside Brewhouse is the production brewery.

Canned 500ml. -Unclear pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, light rice in the nose. Sweet watery and light rice taste with some weak peachy notes in the finish. American brew under licence brewed by Chinese brewery and the style is Japanese rice lager; funny.

Can. Almost clear golden amber with a good cm of white head. Grapefruit rind and breadcrust aroma with some peach & tropical fruit. Sweet and full bodied with oozing fruit then strong bitterness. No overt booze but it certainly feels its strength. Good.
