## About

Our establishment is a place that pushes the limits with familiar flavors yet stretches the boundaries of what a beer can be. Tantalize your taste buds from a selection of stellar staple beers, such as lagers, pilsners, pale ales, IPAs (double and triple IPAs, too!), stouts, and sours, with twists as far-reaching as a pickle sour, smoked honey ham scotch blonde, bleu cheese and olive martini lager, and habanero basil pale ale. Set in historic Downtown Gilroy on Monterey Street, our vision includes helping revive the city, give back to the community, and regrow the struggling economy. There isn’t an ingredient we’ll avoid in our quest to make some of the best beer. We take classic brew styles, flip them on their heads, and mix up recipes with out-of-the-box methods to make you thirsty for more. How could it be bad?
