This week, we released our West Coast Pils: a true farm-to-farm collaboration with the Carpenter family, who have been growing hops in Washington's Yakima Valley for 6 generations. Austin Carpenter himself even flew out to help us brew this one and catch the final night of Riggs-Fest!

The concept of a West Coast Pils is simple: take the crushability of a classic pilsner and hop it with modern American hop varieties. Expect an aroma that takes you straight back to school lunch fruit salad, backed by a delightful hint of hop resin. We kept the bitterness moderate so the beer stays balanced, clean, and completely crushable... because it's a Pils.

Enjoy the fruits of our labor!

ABV: 5.5%
IBU: 32
Grain: Riggs-Grown 6 Row, Riggs-Grown 2 Row, Riggs-Grown White Corn
Boil Hops: Carpenter-Grown Krush
Dry Hops: Carpenter-Grown Simcoe Cryo, Carpenter-Grown Krush

So, it turns out that our recent distribution expansion into Chicagoland has caught the attention of some beer drinkers up there. If you live near Chicagoland, come hang out with us at an event this weekend. We'll have 6 beers on tap (including the Red Lager that this guy likes so much) at the Vernon Hills Whole Foods Market from 5-7pm on Friday. We'll be pouring Hefeweizen and Helles at the Lombard Brew Fest on Saturday.

Celebrating our 10-year anniversary this week with -Fest 2026. Although we've been growing beer on our farm for 10 years, we thought it might be time for a refresh on our slogan. So we polled the Team. What do you think?
