Description
It all started with a neighbor sharing a homemade beer. Liz saw how excited Jamil was and bought him a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas. Jamil became obsessed with brewing the perfect beer and became a homebrew legend in the process by winning a first-place medal in every known beer, mead, and cider style category. Eventually, his passion to brew was too strong and Jamil and Liz decided to take the plunge and open Heretic Brewing Company.
We started by sharing a building with another brewery in 2011, but we always brewed our beer ourselves. Within the first six months we realized there wasn’t enough space for two breweries in one building, so we began the search for a new place. By 2013, we had built a new, modern brewery in the wonderful city of Fairfield, California and moved all our operations there, including our new distillery.

Can from a local grocery store. Pours darkly translucent gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is very guava, and there's some passion fruit. Med body or better. Flavor is very guava, and there's passion fruit with prickles. Lots of juice in this thing. Fruity but towards dry. Moderately bitter or so - perhaps mostly from the passion fruit. The guava may not be pink, because that sweetness seems absent. Juicy enough for breakfast.
