Seasonal Tap List
We specialize in crafting artisanal beers infused with local botanicals harvested directly from the hills and farms of the Ojai Valley. Because our small-batch brews rotate rapidly, our tap list changes often. Below is a showcase of our staple beers brewed at least once every year. Come in and see whats fresh on tap!
