Craft Beer Selections
21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon, ABV 4.9%, IBU 17: Hell or High Watermelon Wheat is a summer seasonal beer available from April through September. We start by brewing a classic American wheat beer, then add fresh melons for a straw-colored, delicious beer with a kiss of watermelon aroma and flavor.
Bear Republic- Racer 5 West Coast IPA, ABV 7.5%, IBU 75: This hoppy IPA is a full bodied beer brewed with malted barley, wheat, and crystal malts. The malt base is designed to highlight the unique floral qualities of Columbus and Cascade hops from the Pacific Northwest.
Elysian Brewing- Space Dust IPA, ABV 8.2% IBU 73: A light to medium IPA, the hopping is pure starglow energy, with Chinook to bitter and late and dry additions of Citra and Amarillo. A Totally Nebular IPA
Golden Road Mango Cart, ABV 4%, IBU 10: A wheat beer inspired by the iconic fruit cart vendors of L.A. This light beer is bursting with fresh, bright mango flavor and aroma and has a crisp finish.
Kona- Big Wave, ABV 4.4%, IBU 26: Kona Big Wave is a golden ale with a light body, tropical hop aroma and flavor, and a quenching finish. It's made with caramel malt, which gives the beer its golden color, and a special blend of hops. Some say it's smooth, easy to drink, and refreshing, and others say it's not bitter like some stouts and pale ales.
Trumer-Pils, ABV 4.9%, IBU 24: Classic style of lager typical of Munich, offers an easy drinking, slightly sweet, more malty than hoppy. Tasting notes: Light color, malty body, slight noble hop aroma, light and refreshing. A hoppier version of a pilsner, bigger hop aroma, higher bitterness.
Shock Top-Belgian White, ABV 5.2% IBU 10: This spiced Belgian-style Wheat Ale is the pinnacle of refreshment brewed with real Orange, Lemon, and Line peels for a smooth, citrusy finish. The beer that is always down to chill-and be chilled.
Stella Artois-ABV 4.8%, IBU 30: The Original European Lager from Belgian, a pleasantly bitter hoppiness and refreshing, crisp finish with a distinct pale golden color.
Wine Selections
2022 Fortino Pinot Grigio, Grown on the California Central Coast and aged in stainless steel barrels to preserve the crisp, rich flavors that define pinot grigio wines. This wine is a refreshing varietal with hints of stone fruits and leads to a slightly dry finish.
2018 Fortino Pinot Noir, This French Varietal is medium-bodied with a beautiful, bright, ruby-red color. Its bouquet is filled with floral, earthy, and fruity aromas. The flavors of dark cherries and plums linger on the finish with a hint of tartness.
2021 Guglielmo PR Chardonnay Barrel aged for 10 months. Notes of lemon and wet stone, coupled with layers of butter and oak on the palate provide a creamy mouthfeel to complement the bright acidity.
2018 Guglielmo PR Zinfandel One of their flagship varietals that has been estate grown for nearly 80 years. The 2018 vintage underwent 36 months of barrel aging with a combination of French and American oak that offers the perfect blend of oaky sweetness and subtle notes of pepper and clove.
2021 J. Lohr Estates Flume Crossing Sauvignon Blanc, highlighted by aromas of honeysuckle, lime, sweet herbs, and fig. The aromas are complemented on the palate by flavors of grapefruit, kiwi, passion fruit, and guava, with a rich & long finish provided by the acacia barrels.
2021 J. Lohr Estates South Ridge Syrah, Varietal aromas of black cherry and fresh blueberry are accented by black tea, bergamot, and lilac. The juicy and spicy structure of this northern Rhône cultivar is lengthened and lifted by the inclusion of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Roussanne, and Viognier.
2021 Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay With toasty oak aromatics and complemented by fruit notes from baked apple to freshly cut pineapple, melted caramel, and toasted brioche on the palate.
