It’s almost Kinch’s 17th birthday, crazy! Kinch, our original IPA, hasn’t changed since we started brewing it 17 years ago, why mess with it when it’s perfect? Grab a Kinch and celebrate its 17th birthday on November 8th.

Behold! Kinch!

Kinch - 7% West Coast IPA.

The return of Kinch! Before we ever opened, in Dan’s family’s garage, we were making a hoppy b**r called Kinch. It was full of classic American hop character, had a low bitterness, a light but flavorful malt character, and some delicate yeast esters. This IPA is perhaps the one most dear to hearts and we’re so excited to share it again.

Kinch is brewed with a solid base of straight Maris Otter barley, and hopped with Chinook, Cascade, Columbus, and Centennial. It has notes of classic pine-citrus combos, Ruby Red grapefruit, orange Starburst, perfect toast, apple crisp, low acid berries, the way good ma*****na smelled in the 90s, and a dialectic of new and classic IPAs.

It’s totally baffling really that in 14 years this is the first Brown Ale we’ve made. We’ve brewed a plethora of British ales - milds, porters, stouts, bitters, and pale ales; but for some strange reason, this is our first take on a style that for many of us in the brewery was the first type of b**r we imbibed that showcased flavors beyond what popular macro la**rs offered.

Brown Ale - 5.1%.

We brewed this with a base of Maris Otter malted barley, along with some brown, biscuit, and chocolate malts. It was hopped entirely with Fuggles and fermented with our British ale yeast.

It pours a dark mahogany with those famous ruby tones and a khaki head. It’s incredibly balanced with an earthy citrus Fuggle hop character and a layered maltiness, with notes of Whoppers, chocolate cookies, iced black coffee, brewpubs in the aughts, and some baked apples. Very stoked on this.

New Ways Home - 6% Barrel Aged Saison with Persimmon.

We’re really happy with this funky saison. It was brewed with barley and spelt, hopped with noble European hops, fermented with our foraged yeast culture, aged in our oak foeders with our mixed culture, further conditioned on some local persimmons, before a final fermentation in the bottle/keg.

We’re getting notes of 2015 bangers, tamarind Jarritos, creamy oak like coconut, pink starburst, funky white grapes, rustic baguettes, and the saison joie de vivre.

Morning Fog - 4.4% British Style L***r.

A British L***r, you say?! Brewed with U.K. Pilsner malt, hopped with First Gold and Saaz, and fermented slow and cold, l***r style.

This one puts that British moreish quality into a crisp pale l***r; with notes of fresh crackers, grassy U.K. malted barley, lemon poppyseed scone, bowtie pasta, and some apple strudel. The b**r disappears quickly and has you immediately reaching for another.

10/07/2026

March isn’t the only mild month around here!

Uncle Professor - 4.3% Mild.

A lovely little Mild brewed with Maris Otter, Aromatic malt, and a touch of roasted barley; gently hopped with Fuggles, and fermented with our British ale yeast. It pours a summer honey color, and brings lots of the moreish vibes, with notes of raspberry leaf tea, whole grain hippie cereal, marmalade on crackers, ripe pears, and some cold Japanese mugicha.
