About
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.

Can from Saveur. Piney and citrus forward with some biscuity malt. Quite oily and bitter. Old school. A bit old.

Can from Etre. Clear golden with decent head. Malty cookie sweetness, some pine, orange marmalde. Mellow bitterness. A bit old and stale, but pretty tasty.

Can from Saveur. A little bit old-ish unfortunately. Clear golden with white head. Loads of resinous sourness, fresh cut grass and some bread dough. Refreshingly bitter.

32oz crowler pours with a crystal clear deep gold to slightly copper hued body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up clementine, candied citrus and a tangelo and grapefruit nuanced candied pineapple character. The taste delivers bold boozed dipped clementine, grapefruit, pink grapefruit and pineapple. Wow. It's juicy and a tad pine sap like as the modest booze sensation kicks in and helps create some balance. The sense of the ABV is light all things considered. Pretty nice boost vehicle

Clear pale blond colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have light and fresh hop notes. Really soft and easy to drink.

Can, WW. Murky golden-orange with a small off-white head. Orange peel, orange juice, orange vitamins - lots of orange in the nose, as well as melon and green hops. Slick orange - again a mixture of the above, rye, green grasses... feels familiar, comforting. Quite good.
