Description
We started out in 1996 as a small group of San Diego home brewers who simply wanted to make a better beer. In our exploration, we became obsessed with ingredients—tinkering, testing and tasting to find the perfect balance of taste and aroma. That adventurous spirit leads to award-winning beers in classic and unique styles while challenging our own tastes and expanding yours. We’re proud of our San Diego hometown, our employees, our beers, and our fans. We think of our employees as family, and you, our fans, as extended family. You’ll see us use #BPPROUD as a badge of pride and a way to further connect with our beer loving community.

Can. An unclear dark golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits, lemons, pine needles, hops, malt, and a bit of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of over ripe fruit, lemons, spices, pine needles, hops, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. 8/1/8/3/16
