Description
Alpine Beer Company began with Patrick and Valerie McIlhenney in 1999. We are a small-town brewery, nestled in the foothills of the mountains just outside of San Diego. From IPAs to small-batch sours, we’ve been crafting high-quality ales since 1999. Known as the “Home of Pure Hoppiness,” people travel from near and far to try our special brews. Now you can bring home a little taste of hoppiness from Alpine.

In 2014 Alpine Beer Company and Green Flash officially joined forces, allowing for the expansion that Pat had been working on to become an immediate reality.

In December 2021, Alpine Beer Co. was acquried by Atlanta-based SweetWater Brewing Co.

Frothy white head left a cover on a clear amber body. Malt & stewed fruit aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a lighter cloying back. Malt, pine, stewed fruit, resin & pithy tastes with a very long bitter finish. Excellent WC

Can picked up from Saveur-Biere webshop Lille, France and consumed at home Friday 5th February 2021, listening to Bicep - Isles and cooking Chicken Tikka Masala with all the accompaniments. Pours warm gold with a white head, reasonable clarity, actually there is a little bit of haze. Pleasant bitterness, simple but decent pale ale. Soft carbonation, light lemony citrus, good, dry finish

12 fl oz can from hopt.it. Pours light amber, fairly transparent, with fine white foam. Aroma is hoppy, piney. Body is average, like carbonation. Taste is medium bitter, with good sweetness too. Final is still hoppy, aromatic.

Can picked up from Saveur-Biere webshop, Lille, France consumed at home Friday 22nd January 2021 listening to Iggy Confidential on 6Music. We had Thai Green Curry and Loz made Spring Roll. Pours gold with a white head. Resinous and citrussy on the nose, in the mouth these two play out again in a good steady bitter and jolly pleasant beer.
