🍊 SO EASY (6.0%) 🍊
Fruited Sour with Tangerine

We blended 800+ pounds of Tangerine into our Berliner Weisse base and as easy as that, we had a soulful jazz banger on our hands.

So Easy is the perfect mix of Saturday night and the rest of your life, especially if you consider the next day, Sunday. That’s brunch and this b**r was built for those lazy hangs with friends and food.

Available on draft and to-go.

We’re open from 11am to 11pm. Come say hi.

🥁 AWAKE & UNAFRAID (8.0%) 🥁
Hazy Double IPA with Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin, Nelson Sauvin HopKief & Nectaron
Collaboration with Ten Wasp Brewing Company

Did your dad ever take you to the city to see a marching band and then ask you to do something impossible? Maybe become the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned? That’s a tall order. You’d probably need a drink to steady your nerves. And with our friends at Ten Wasp Brewing Co., we’ve brewed the b**r to do just that.

Packed full of oats and loaded with over 5lbs per barrel of the choicest hops from Yakima and New Zealand, AWAKE & UNAFRAID has notes of pink grapefruit, a mélange of sweet berries and a diesely dank finish.

Available to-go and on draft.

We’re open 11-10. See you soon 🖤

OLIVER’S OKTOBERFEST (5.7%)
German-style Märzen

Oliver’s Oktoberfest is an amber Märzen-style l***r brewed with 100% German malts, hops, and yeast! A five-step mash complete with a decoction, results in a b**r that drinks super clean with low bitterness and classic notes of toasted cracker and caramel maltiness. It’s just so good.

For the first time, Oliver’s Oktoberfest is available in cans. Today couldn’t possibly get any better....Oh, but it can! If you visit us in the taproom, Oliver’s is also available in the now-famous Lua Boot. 😮

Celebrate the beginning of the best season of them with us. We’re open today 11am to 11pm 💛

🍋‍🟩☃️Find Your Frost at Lua ☃️🍋‍🟩

Craft b**r was wrong.

For decades, they’ve told you frosted mugs were bad. Breweries warmed their “coolers” to 45*F so draft b**r could open up and “breathe.” They told you that you needed to suffer through warm swill and smile because “more flavor.” Tasting notes and flared pinkies galore.

F that pretentiousness. Seriously. Ice cold b**r is so, so great. So we dropped our coolers, found the thickest, fattest mugs we could, and are frosting them icier than 90s spiked tips. Yea, the Limest gets slightly slushified when it’s poured into them. That’s the point.

Come drink the coldest Limest we can pour. It’s better that way.

And tell your buddies: it’s OK to drink b**r out of a frosted mug. In fact, it’s the best.

Ice cold Limest (affectionately known here at Lua as a Limenstein 💚) available NOW, forever.

Tag a frosty friend you’d love to share one with 🍻.

NATIONAL HAZY IPA DAY

Hazy IPA rips and today is the day to celebrate. In 2023, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. established the third Thursday of August to be National Hazy IPA Day. Eat your heart out National IPA Day, it’s all about the foggy hop juice that has taken the b**r world by storm.

We here at Lua love Hazy IPAs AKA Hazer Lazers™. We’ve been on it since day one. You can always expect our hazies to have big fruity aromatics, a pillowy body, and a bit of silky sweetness that’ll have you asking “Are you sure this isn’t juice?”.

Come down and see us for a hazy or two today. We’re open 11am-10pm. Protip: Tiny Beam of Light pairs excellently with the Sweet Chili Chicken Bites. Let’s celebrate 💛
