Our beers are artfully crafted in small batches from our own time-honored recipes. We use no preservatives or adjuncts like corn or rice and all our beers are unfiltered. Most of our ales are brewed with just four ingredients. Here is a list of some of the classic beers that we brew here.
A departure from the average American Blonde Ale, San Diego Gold® is an easy drinking pale gold ale that exhibits many characteristics of a classic German Pilsner. Generous doses of noble German hops paired with Kölsch Ale yeast and Pilsner malt give this beer a crisp, clean taste with plenty of floral fruity aroma and a dry finish. (ABV 5.0)
Balanced slightly towards the hop side, San Diego Amber® offers toasted and toffee malt character and light fruit esters to compliment Chinook and Cascade hops. Judicious use of roasted barley results in good flavor depth, deep amber red color, and a smooth somewhat drier finish. (ABV 5.5)
Deep garnet brown in color, Old Town Nut Brown provides a nice balance of chocolate and caramel maltiness from darker Crystal malts and Carabrown, along with added flavor from roasted barley. Hopped with Sterling and Mt. Hood to provide mild floral aroma and taste, this beer drinks smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. (ABV 5.7)
The uncomplicated malt bill – including Vienna and Flaked Rye – allows the large late and dry-hop additions to dominate the nose and palate. Smooth Columbus bitterness is followed by the tropical, resinous flavor of Simcoe hops. Dry-hopped with 4-5 hop varieties lends flavors and aromas of peach and passion fruit. San Diego IPA® finishes dry and clean with a hint of rye spiciness. (ABV 7.3)
A robust malt bill, with an equally sturdy number of complimentary hop varieties, make this west coast classic a flagship of San Diego Brewing Company®. Brewed using the method known as "hop-bursting," Infinitude Double IPA displays smooth bitterness on the palate with massive hop aroma and flavor. Cooler, longer fermentation results in very low perceived alcohol for a clean, citrusy beer drinking experience. (ABV 8.5)
