Saison Bernice

Year-Round

Saison

ABV6.5%

A California saison good enough to be discussed alongside Belgian ones. Rustic ales on the Capitola coast is not where the American market was looking.

West Ashley

Limited

Wild Ale

ABV7.3%

Apricots aged in Pinot Noir barrels. Capitola is a small beach town, and this is one of the most traded American wild ales.

Westly

Limited

Saison

ABV8.5%

Oak-aged with apricots. Named, like West Ashley, in the brewery's own private shorthand rather than for anything a customer would recognise.
