Please join us Friday, January 25th, anytime between 4:00-7:00 pm, when we welcome Rich Evans to our wine bar. Rich is the Bay Area Beer Sales Representative for Calicraft Brewing, and he will be pouring a flight of five of his favorite Calicraft beers.
Founded in 2012 by Blaine Landberg, Calicraft takes inspiration from the ingredients, places and people of California. They strive to create products that combine innovation with purpose - products that push the boundaries of beer, wine, and spirits. Whether its using local ingredients such as anise hyssop and wine pomace, creative collaborations with restaurants like Chez Panisse and wineries like Dashe Cellars, or developing a whole new category of beer – Calicraft seeks to answer the question: “What if beer was created in California?”
Coast Kölsch is the taste of California. It's a brew for the bracing waves of NorCal or the sunny summers of SoCal. Mt. Shasta-grown malt adds body, while Noble and Crystal hops give it a bright, crisp, refreshing finish. Like the Golden State, this sessionable Kölsch is laid-back but complex. It's going from slopes to shore in just a few hours. Drink what you love about Cali.
Rose Ale, which is part of the 'Trees Line', drinks like a dry but fruity rosé sparkling wine. Flavors of bright red fruits are balanced with a touch of tannins and a light acidity.
Guava Trees American Wheat is our latest evolution of Sparkling Ales - Blending the freshness of cocktails, the aromas and flavors of wine, and the approachability and drinkability of beer. Our first trees beer! Like drinking a dry, sparkling guava mimosa! Starts off with heady tropical aromas and finishes crisp with a touch of acidity.
The City IPA - Calicraft loves cities from San Francisco to New York or from LA to Chicago, The City is where it's at. This beer is a tribute to our city, San Francisco, and to all the great IPAs that came before us. Brewed in classic NorCal style, balanced and dry, dank and citrusy, bitter and juicy, this IPA captures the best of this classic West Coast beer. It's The City IPA for The City by The Bay.
Oaktown Brown Ale is not your traditional brown ale. This is a big, bad, bold brown. It's the intersection of a Cabernet and an IPA. Or, say, 15th and Broadway. A blend of three oaks added during fermentation creates a red wine-like structure. California Cascade hops bring the local flavor that goes from roasted and bitter on first swig to a soulful, chocolate finish. Generally speaking, not for wussies. But who are we to say?
