Collab with Everywhere Beer Co.
Nectaron, Krush, Mosaic and Riwaka come together to bring this beer a unique tropical aroma we’ve never quite experienced before. Some of these hops are pretty new to us, naturally these new combinations and flavors are too. They’re playing quite well together. Expect notes of guava, pithy ruby red grapefruit and a little bit of that blueberry pixie dust. While the beer may be called West Kept Secret, you can certainly tell your friends about it.

From Good Times Oakland, canned February 2026.
Pours a clear pale gold, good head of foam that lasts. Retention and lacing are fine.
Smell is dank, tropical fruity, some grapefruit and grass.
The taste is tropical fruity, grapefruit, dank notes, grass towards the finish. West coast style with multiple varieties of hops. Juicy.
Mouthfeel is slick and juicy, I would drink this again.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass
A: Pours golden yellow with a slight chill haze and a frothy cream white head that settles to a light layer and leaves some spotty lacing.
S: Bright citrus, resinous pine, grassy, woodsy, and herbal notes, underlying tropical and stone fruit, crackery biscuity malt, and a touch of sweetness.
T: Zesty citrus, lemon, lime, grapefruit, and a touch of tangerine, resinous pine, tropical and stone fruit, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, blueberry, apricot, peach, and guava, a bit grassy, faint woodsy herbal notes, floral hints, crackery biscuity malt, and just a touch of sweetness with a fairly dry finish.
M: Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, super crisp and refreshing, yet also
O: This one is an absolute winner. Crisp and crushable, packed with flavor in that classic Cellarmaker way. The Nectaron, Riwaka, and Mosaic, lead the way with the Krush adding some depth, but without too much of Its woodsy herbal calling card coming out. Hits the spot on a warm day.
