Description
You can come get to know our beers and the people behind them at either of our two locations.
Our original brewery on Lincoln Avenue is home to our Brewery Shop, where you can sample or purchase to-go, and a Tap Room, where you can stay, get a bite to eat and get to know who we are and what we do. You can now also visit our new brewery, on Balmoral Avenue, where we have a beer garden in nice weather and a completely separate food program.
Both locations offer perennials Daisy Cutter, Bodem, Pony Pilsner and Tuna plus plenty of small batch beers released weekly.

Aromas are malt, white wine, sweat and a bit of MJ. Flavors are similar to nose and bittersweet. Body is a bit full and carbonation a touch light for a pilsner. Pretty good overall though.

Aromas are stone fruit, malt, melon, white wine. Flavors are similar to nose with very good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Add in some MJ. Okay body. Nice beer.

2$ can from chalet premier. Pour is slight haze on light pale. Constant streams of bubbly co2 inside, nice show. Mild fresh citrus note. First taste is also friendly notes of citrus. Every so slight, what seems to be, noble hop bitterness, but never in yer face. I'm not convinced this is a helles style. I'd say its more of a blonde lager of some sort. On brewver, I'd put it into the premium lager style since there is no blonde lager. Very friendly on the quaffable scale. Easy-going, pleasant and uncomplicated. This session was welcoming, cordial, amiable, approachable, affable, genial, harmonious & cooperative.

From Good Times Oakland canned April 13th 2026.
Pours a bright clear gold with an inch of foam, retention and lacing are excellent.
Smell is hoppy, bitter, fruity, with toasted malt and some notes of melon.
Taste is hoppy with melon, some citrus, pine, hint of dankness, toasted malt, pretty nice balance.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, I would drink this again.

Weird how things in life that you find disgusting can seem to be quite good in beer. Anyway, aromas are sweat, resin, citrus, malt and hints of MJ. Flavors are similar to nose with good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Body is a bit thin. Okay carbonation.
