The California Common is an example of a “hybrid beer”. It’s brewed with a lager yeast, but at the temperature range of an ale. When brewers of German heritage started brewing beer on the west coast in the 1800’s, there was no refrigeration and limited access to ice. While ale yeasts were readily available at the time, many of these immigrant German brewers were more familiar with lager yeast.

STORY
Foggy Days California Common 5 Gallon is a smooth, balanced beer inspired by the classic steam-style beers of the West Coast. Built with Coopers Draught extract, Pale LME, specialty grains, Hallertau hops, and S-23 yeast, this recipe delivers a crisp yet malty beer with just enough hop character to keep things interesting.
PROFILE
Expect an amber-gold pour with clean malt character, light caramel notes, moderate bitterness, and a crisp finish. The 2-row and Crystal 40 malts add body and depth, while Hallertau hops bring a smooth herbal-spicy hop note that keeps the beer balanced and refreshing.
