Sculpin 7
Showcases bright flavors and aromas of apricot, peach, mango, and lemon. The lighter body also brings out the crispness of the hops.

Calico 5
A rich complexity comes from four types of malt– but it’s those distinct American hops that offer a crisp bitterness and unique floral aroma.

Pale Ale 5
We’ve chosen German hops for aroma, and rounded out the recipe with a blend of American and German malts. If you like a lighter brew but also like the complexity of craft beers, then our Pale Ale is for you.
