🤘Fresh To Death Friday🤘

Furry and fiercely fun, Grimalkin is always the center of attention. This West Coast Pale Ale is 5.5% and is made with the perfect pedigree of Nelson + Citra Hops. Grimalkin, notoriously plays hard to get on a deserved pedestal; it has ferocious fumes while exceptionally drinkable, with notes of Diesel, Honeydew and Orange Zest.

Welcome Wretched. This miserable Hazy IPA has an unfortunate amount of Enigma + Vic Secret + Citra + Citra Cryo Hops and a 6.8% ABV. Atrocious, rotten, beastly, oh how we adore this viscous and pithy Wretched and its notes of Apricot, Cantaloupe and Meyer Lemon.

Grimalkin and Wretched are pouring when we open at 12NOON in West + East Oakland ().

Life's a Torture Garden, West Coast Pils: 5.5% Nelson + Mosaic Hops, bright and effervescent aromatic mouth-whetting madness. Slaking flavors of White Grape, Pomegranate and Lemon.

The Three P's Of The Beer Apocalypse Have Arrived

Pulseless West Coast IPA
Brand-new this week is a uniquely un-alive West Coast IPA. Throbbing with 's experimental HQG 4 + Mosaic Cryo and a 7% ABV. Smooth and increasingly tropical, Pulesless West Coast IPA's rhythm is notes of Honeydew, Shirt Laundry and Lime.

Pena Smrti 12 Degrees Czech Pils
Another debut, catching a spray of this deadly foam is a worthwhile risk. Soft and snappy with a 4.9% ABV and a lather of Saaz Hops. Pena Smrti is a quaffable and extremely smooth beer flavored beer with sprinkles of Water Cracker, a splashes of Floral hints and a sq**rt of bitterness, all vanishing under the expected bespoke Ghost Town finish.

Power Nap West Coast IPA
Don't trip on your divine apprehension, Power Nap is back and blue with armageddon. Overtly punchy, 6.9% ABV West Coast IPA suffers no fools with a decimating manifest of Mosaic + Enigma + Citra Hops. Power Nap is an aromatic and aggressive acid trip of flavor with notes of Markrut Lime, Mango and Spruce.

Pena Smrti and Pulesless are ready to be pounced upon at 12NOON at both our West Oakland and Laurel District () Tasting Rooms. Vultures swarm for Power Nap ~2PM at both as well.

Antagonize Your Weekend.

Creepy = good. Eldritch is a fresh, sinister, Hazy IPA made with an uneasy amount of Galaxy + Idaho 7 + Simcoe Cryo Hops. Weird, ghoulish, disgustingly fresh, Eldritch is set on spreading disturbance with an ABV of 6.8% and a juicy, pillowy mouthfeel with a threatening tropical storm of flavor such as Papaya, Pineapple and Grapefruit. Creepy goooooood.

Conversely, unlike us, we are late to the most unfortunate of love-fests, but still want in on it. We Love LA is a West Coast IPA brewed with Citra T90 + Citra Lupomax + Mosaic T90 + Mosaic Lupomax Hops and is 6.9% ABV. We Love LA West Coast IPA does some good by those affected by the LA wildfires, while ripping with citrusy and breezy flavors of flavors of Clementine, underripe Cantaloupe and a noticeable Dank musk.

Both are ready to rock starting at 12NOON tomorrow at both our locations in West Oakland and the Laurel District ().

⚰️ NEW BEERS, SAME BAD INTENTIONS ⚰️⁠
⁠
Two fresh arrivals from the afterlife. Drink up—before they drink you.⁠
⁠
💀 DISMAL – West Coast IPA – 6.9% ABV⁠
Crisp, bitter, and dead inside—just like you after three Zoom calls and a Slack ping at 4:59. Built with Citra Cryo, Mosaic, Riwaka, and Galaxy, this one drops hard with mango, passionfruit, and strawberry. Brutally dry. Hauntingly dank.⁠
⁠
🔥 INFERNO – Hazy IPA – 6.6% ABV⁠
Soft, juicy, and screaming for help. Stacked with Idaho 7, Citra, and Enigma, this hazy menace explodes with pineapple, red currant, and makrut lime zest. It’s like drinking a fruit basket mid-exorcism.⁠
⁠
You could sip something light and forgettable…⁠
Or you could summon the darkness.⁠
⁠
Inferno is ready to go at noon, Dismal will drop around 2pm.

A Fresh Beer For A Whole Hand Of Fingers, Even That One You Use Most.

Unearthed from the void this week is Chasmic Absorption Through Whirlpools of Disarray, a gremlin of a West Coast IPA. Made with Nelson Cryo + Mosaic Cryo + Strata Hops, Chasmic Absorptions Through Whirlpools Of Disarray is a divinity besmirching 7% ABV. Dry, crisp, dis-orienting and a mouthful to say, C.A.T.W.O.D swirls with flavors of Nectarine, Fresh Blueberry and White Currant.

Ghost Town smash good. Hammer Smashed, our series of rotating single Malt and single Hop India Pale Ales, is back this week featuring one of our most coveted: Mosaic. This West Coast IPA is made with, duh, 100% Mosaic Hops, is 6.7% ABV and will cannibalize your co**se with skull-crushing aromas that are dankly aromatic flavorful spurts of Blackberry, Tangerine and freshly-trimmed Purps.

We've adopted yet another furry friend this week, please welcome the freshly deceased Necrocat. This West Coast Pale Ale has been smashed and dragged through the sewer system of nightmares and come on home to us covered in Citra + Mosaic + Simcoe Hops. Necrocat has a rugged 5.9% ABV and a bright and effervescent scent that remits flavors of Meyer Lemon, Raspberry and Pine.

Gorge so hard. After shoveling as much Nose Goblin as we could down our gullets, we've had to package more. What a lousy week, huh? This infamous West Coast Imperial IPA destroys heads with a 9.2% ABV and shreds faces with the iconic combination of Nelson + Mosaic + Strata Hops. Nose Goblin's huge flavors of Mandarine, Blueberry Reduction and Diesel always are ready to rip into your weekend.

Unreasonable, disorderly and unexpected, welcome Perverse Inverse. This West Coast IPA with bizarre intentions is made with an increasing and inadvertently intense amount of Nectaron Cryo + Riwaka Cryo + Mosaic + Krush Hops and has a 7% ABV. Perverse Inverse has a rank aroma of earth and old cheese that emits diesel fumes before relenting to flavors of Kiwi, Strawberry and Peach.

A Wild World Of Hops Compete In Your Cup To Keep It Fresh To Death.

Re-discovered this week is our favorite troglodyte, the Cave Dweller. This West Coast Pilsner is a throwback to a now nearly extinct style of primitive recipes, being made with 100% Mosaic Hops and boasting a 5.6% ABV. While an archaic neanderthal, Cave Dweller West Coast Pilsner has the most modern of flavors that you don't have to search far and wide for: aromatic and resinous notes of Papaya, Cantaloupe and Blueberry await your discovery.

We'll cut right to it: Mordant West Coast IPA, is back. Mordant is made with a corrosive amount of our most-prized and adroit Mosaic + Strata Hops. Mordant has a piquant 6.7% ABV and fumes with corrosive, brazen, full-bodied, fruity aroma which is balanced by scathing vitriolic notes of Strawberry Shortcake, Blueberry and Lime.

Croon along with us: Chants From Below has returned. This Hazy IPA is brewed in collaboration with our friends from the great Pacific Northwest, Great Notion Brewing (, Portland, OR). Chants From Below is a fiery 7% ABV and can be heard when it crescendos with Strata + Eclipse + Citra Cryo Hops. Join us in Chants From Below and experience many a thick flavor of Apricot, Mango and Grilled Peach.

All 3 are ready to rock today starting at 12NOON at our tasting rooms that are located in Ooooooaaaakkkkllllaaaannndddd (West Oakland and the Laurel District, ). Smash the link in bio for online ordering, while you still can.

The Only Constant At Ghost Town, No Matter How Abstract, Is Change

Brand new this week is Unbroken Veil, a highly anticipated collaboration with reigning GABF Brewery Of The Year, our talented friends at Everywhere Beer Co. (, Orange, CA). Unbroken Veil is a West Coast IPA that is currently making our brewery reek while we package this Mosaic + Mosaic Cryo + Simcoe + Simcoe Cryo + Nectaron Hopped, wildly dank banger. At 7% ABV Unbroken Veil smothers all with impeccable balance and full saturation of oily, enveloping flavors such as Lychee, Tangerine and White Apricot.

It is usually looking rather grim around Ghost Town, especially this week with the return of Grim Visage Hazy IPA. This serious and steely-faced brew is a contradiction in a can: light and approachable with a 6.4% ABV, made with Idaho 7 + Ekuanot Hops: you'd never guess the pleasant juiciness within from, um, the Grim Visage of it. Grim Visage Hazy IPA is also sternly tropical with scintillatingly lush notes of Pineapple, Lime and Papaya.

Grim Visage is ready to mean mug you starting today at 12NOON at our tasting rooms in West Oakland and the Laurel District (). Unbroken Veil casts its shroud at both later on around 230PM.

From the house of the illest repute comes three fresh ways to help you ruin your own notoriety. Let's leave our mark, shall we?⁠
⁠
Oh my, the infamous has returned. Nose Goblin West Coast Imperial IPA is yet again running around our tasting rooms, shredding faces with loads of Nelson + Mosaic + Strata Hops and re-arranging mind-states with a provocative 9.2% ABV. Nose Goblin drinks like no DIPA though: it is incredibly smashable while also being extremely resinous and dank, with aggressive flavors of Mandarine, Blueberry Reduction and Diesel.⁠
⁠
On fire once again is Helles Awaits Lager, our 4.9% classic. Helles Awaits is made with the old-timey tradition of a Decocted Mash, adding mysterious mystique and layers of caramelized flavors in this easy, Hellertau Mittlefruh Hopped, Helles-style Lager. Wow, that was a sentence right there. Here is another: Helles Awaits is light and extremely crushable with nuanced Floral and Herbal notes as well as a Touch of Honey flavor before a dazzling clean finish.⁠
⁠
Keep your eyes on the waters of The Bay: the demon serpent Leviathan is rumored to have returned. Spotting this mythical West Coast IPA is a pulse-spiker like no other thanks to its wildly sought-after arrangement of Citra + Nectaron + Nelson Hops. The 6.9% ABV is the fodder of folklore, but you can trust the fanatics when they blather on and on about how Leviathan is, juicy, delectable and swimming with flavors of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice, Peach and Mango.⁠
⁠
Helles Awaits and Nose Goblin are ready to pour when we open our tasting rooms today in West and East Oakland () at 12NOON. Leviathan sightings will start later on, ~2PM.

Need a break from West Coast IPA after last night? Yeah, not us either, cause as we know EVERYONE loves WC IPA, but, here are a couple fresh beers of other styles just in case you fancy a change.

Arriving with a gruesome rip and its own carried-trauma is Avulsion. This Hazy IPA is out for deep wounds with a 6.9% ABV and gashes of EXP 630 + Mosaic Hops. Avulsion's agony and anguish is our elation to relish; delicious and waggish, Avulsion has jocose flavors of Apricot, Plum and Clementine.

Mmm...butthole. Got your attention now, didn't we? Good, cause you'll want to take note of Bottom Feeder's return, the West Coast Pilsner made with 100% Citra Hops. Bottom Feeder is juicy and dry at the same time and super refreshing, with that extra little flavor of something tender and personal, alongside notes of Mango, Kiwi and Navel Orange.

You can start piecing your post-West Fest life together with both starting at 12NOON at both our tasting rooms in West Oakland and the Laurel District ().

Resurrect yourself: Beer Week is here.

An ambush laying in wait in the shadows, Lurker has is back. This 5.6% ABV West Coast Pale Ale is creeping on some Hellertau Blanc + Nelson + Mosaic Hops. Lurker’s state from the corner pierces through the darkness, developing light and quaffable flavors of Pinot Gris, Lemon Bar and Fresh Squeeze Orange Juice.

Celebrate societal self-owning with the return of Incidental Mortality, a collaboration with the homies of Riip Beer Co. (, Huntginton Beach, CA). This West Coast IPA will enjoy eating your face with a 7.1% ABV and a staggering amount of Mosaic + Mosaic Incognito + Mosaic Cryo + Galaxy + Columbus + Idaho 7 Hops. Sticky, aromatic, Incidental Mortality is both and your own fault, with aggressive flavors of Black Currant, Blueberry Preserves, loud Dankness and a pronunced bitter finish.

Spanning the flavor gap from spectacular to the divine for the first time in a few years is The Crossing. It is a treacherous, Stygian journey to this Hazy IPA, with waters roughed from a 6.5% ABV and a swell of Galaxy + Strata + Idaho 7 Hops. The storm of flavor in the Crossing Hazy IPA is well worth traversing the murky, merciless waters: waiting on the other side are fluffy, pillowy and citrusy notes of Orange Soda, Mint and Lime.

Get your Friday off right with Lurker and The Crossing starting at 12NOON at both our locations in West Oakland and the Laurel District (). Shred your face with Incidental at both locations a little later around~2PM.
