Associated with 3 Venues
Established in 2010
Almanac was founded in 2010 by Damian Fagan and Jesse Friedman, two avid home-brewers who bonded over their mutual appreciation for California farmers markets. They set out to brew beers inspired by California’s rich agricultural bounty. After nearly seven years of partner brewing, we moved into our very own 30,000 square-foot production & aging facility located on a historic naval airbase on Alameda Island in San Francisco Bay.

Can from Hopt. Aroma is floral with lavender, citrus, orange, some lemon, herbal notes. Flavour is tart and moderate sour, body is medium. At first the lavender was bit too in-my-face, but I settled into it. Dig the tartness and fruitiness.

Can, 0.473l. Aroma of citrus, mango, passion fruit and resin. Pours cloudy dark golden color with medium sized off-white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts juicy ripe tropical and stone fruity, following is citrusy, medicinal and biscuity, mouthfeel is smooth and mild spicy, while finish is pretty bitter. Full body, oily texture and soft carbonation in palate. Funny bunny…

Medium reddish-amber, no head. The aroma has a fair bit of raspberry given the age of this beer. Light vanilla but more on the tart character, in terms of the woody barrel note. This has good balance...bright acidity, the raspberry is surprisingly fresh, and there's a bit of that oaky note. Fairly acidic, still balanced.
