LoCal 99 is the culmination of 2 years of research and experiments into fermentation and mash techniques. Unsatisfied with bland, watery macro lagers and unhappy with the unbalanced and harsh craft Session IPA selection currently available in the market, we set out to craft an ale that beer lovers of any stripe would gravitate to on a hot beach day, after mowing the lawn, at a picnic or a tailgate. LoCal 99 clocks in at only 99 calories per 12 oz. serving but you would never guess because we have maintained a soft and satisfying body that we feel is unsurpassed in any other “lite” beer or session IPA.
Citra and Simcoe hops are added throughout the brewing process with a restrained hand for the perfect tapestry of bitterness, flavor and aroma. We taste papaya, grapefruit and berries with a hint of dank earthiness.
This would pair well with any light fare but the ultimate pairing would be to share a few with some friends, old and new!
