A Tall Tale…

As the story goes, Tall Guy Brewing has been a dream of mine since college.
I first became interested in beermaking as a microbiology student at Cal Poly, when I came across homebrewing in a textbook. I’d always been fascinated with microbes, and I liked drinking beer, but I’d never thought much about the production of it. I became intrigued. Growing up, my dad had brewed beer in our kitchen, so I collected his old equipment and started brewing myself, sharing my results with my appreciative dorm buddies.  Read More . . .

Freshly Brewed

Sleepy London Porter

A classic English-style porter brewed with 100% imported UK malts & hops. Served on nitro, Maris Otter malt is the backbone of this creamy brew. The translucent darkness is derived from dark crystal, brown & black malts. Hopping is UK Challenger and UK Target varieties, providing a balancing bitterness to this very approachable porter. Worth the wait of the slower nitro pour.

5% ABV / 32 IBU

Dad’s Milk Stout

An English style beer, brewed with 100% imported UK ingredients. The addition to lactose to this nitro-infused stout produces a creamy texture and unforgettable finish. It’s worth the wait for the nitro pour!

5.8% ABV / 25 IBU

Pat’s Pale Ale

An old-school, 1980’s-style Pale Ale. Brewed with Two-Row and Caramel Malt. Late-Hopped with Chinook.

5.3% ABV / 40 IBU

Munoz especial

A Mexican-style lager, this light-bodied, light-colored brew is typical of domestic examples on the market. Can be considered a Vienna lager as Brewmasters of central Europe brought their practices when they migrated to the New World in the 19th century & established breweries in Mexico. Cold-brewed, crisp & refreshing.

4.85 ABV / 18 IBU

Must be Helles

Must Be Helles is a classic Bavarian Helles. The Helles style originated in the mid-19th century in Bavaria and is considered Germany’s response to Bohemia’s Pilsner. Helles is similar to the Pils: it is light colored (Helles means light in German), about 5.5% ABV; but in contrast to the pils, Helles is low in bitterness and thus malt-forward, consistent with other regional beers in Bavariasuch as hefeweizen. Munich Lager yeast is used to produce this beer which gives it an authentic Oktoberfest flavor. Must Be Helles is brewed with 100% imported German malts & hops.

5% ABV / 18 IBU

Marzen Charging Feet Oktoberfest

An authentically produced Bavarian Marzen. High-dried malts from Germany produce a beautiful copper-colored lager. Low bitterness & malt-forward, crisp & refreshing. Fermented cold. 

5.6% ABV / 26 IBU

Paint it black schwarzbier

Seven types of German Malts contribute the dark color to this Black Lager. Light in body but full of rich malty flavors.

5% ABV / 28 IBU

Gunga Denny IPA

A 90’s-era IPA. A big, light-amber ale with a whopping dose of bitterness. Hopped five times in the kettle, exclusively with Centennial hops, and again with a heavy dose of Centennial dry-hops to the fermenter for a floral, spicy aromatic finish. You’ll find nothing tropical, citrusy or hazy about this throwback IPA.

8.25% ABV / 90 IBU

Under Assistant West Coast IPA

West Coast IPA is a subgroup of the traditional IPA. This style, made popular in San Diego, is bitter, bold and hoppy. There is no balance here, UAWC IPA is all about hops with only light-colored Two-Row malt included in the grist. Modern hopping techniques and citrus-forward hops create a beer that is very aromatic. You’ll get tropical fruit flavors, especially mango, from the abundance of hops used to make the beer.

7.5% ABV / 48 IBU.

Hazy Mama IPA

Hazy Mama is a modern Hazy IPA with heavy tropical and citrus aromas from heavy doses of late hops to the whirlpool and multiple doses of dry hops to the fermenter. The classic hazy hops, Citra and Mosaic, are joined by Roy Farms Azacca and Australia’s Galaxy hops. Raw Wheat and Rolled Oats in the grist contribute the haze in the glass and silky texture on the tongue.

6.3% ABV / 45 IBU

Lisa’s Winter Warmer

A holiday diversion from the classic styles that Tall Guy usually offers. Lisa’s Winter Warmer is a 14% a.b.v. Imperial Stout brewed with Vanilla Beans, Coffee Beans, Cacao Nibs and Chilies. Each time you drink the beer you may get any one of these flavors on the forefront. There’s a little burn from the chilies as well as alcohol in this holiday treat.

14% ABV / 65 IBU

GIMME SELTZER

A hard seltzer which can be taken straight or with a shot of Torani-brand fruit syrup. Crisp, light and spritzy; a refreshing and delicious cocktail. Ask your beertender for syrup options.

5% ABV / 0 IBU
