We are excited to release our version of Brave Noise—a beer collaboration initiated by Brienne Allan, former brewer at Notch Brewing—to advocate for a safe and discrimination-free beer industry. By participating in this collaboration, we have created a company-wide Code of Conduct (which you can check out in our taprooms, online, and via the QR code on the cans!) and committed to the long-term work to uphold it. Additionally, proceeds from this beer will be donated to Safe Bars, an organization working to help bars, restaurants and breweries create safe, respectful and welcoming cultures for patrons and staff alike. As for the beer itself, we wanted to switch it up and bring you something other than a murky for this special collaboration. This West Coast-style pale ale is built on a base of pilsner malt, malted white wheat, and California ale yeast, then dry hopped with Mosaic from Washington and this year’s fresh crop of Nelson Sauvin from New Zealand. The result is a light-bodied, straw-colored creation with big notes of dank and dry white wine. Complementary essences of blueberry, honeydew, grapefruit and lemon zest lead to a lingering bitterness that will leave you making noise for more.

Ended up picking up four 4-packs of North Park beer and Pure Project beer, splitting them with Sonny and Kevin.

Oh yeah.
Poured a medium yellow clear color with four fingers of rocky white head. Tons of fast-moving bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. Almost perfect foamy lacing. Perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.75)
Smelled about what I thought it would. Definitely a West Coast Pale Ale. Got dank weed, resin, pine, Nelson, viney berry, white grape, lemon, floral, light Mosaic and some peppery spice. A touch better out of the can. (Smell - 4.00)
Tasted about as good as the nose maybe a tad better. Still followed it was well. In order got dank weed, resin, pine, Nelson, viney berry, white grape, light Mosaic, floral, lemon, melon and lingering black pepper. (Taste - 4.00)
Medium body. Oily texture. Average-to-lively carbonation. Long, bitter finish. (Feel - 4.25)
Just an outstanding West Coast Pale Ale. (Overall - 4.00)
