Narrative Fermentations - Donezo
Style: American IPA
ABV: 7.40%     

Someone famously said "West Coast IPA is Dead" and we think that is hilarious....so we wanted to poke fun at that with the name and can label. Donezo encompasses everything we love about West Coast IPA. It's crisp, super dry, and light on the malt with a sticky bitterness that coats the tongue. This beer is saturated with hop oils that punch your mouth with sticky dank and citrus while also showcasing some lighter tropical fruit, berry, and pine. We brought back some Talus for this beer that we think works really well in WC styles. We're also stoked to work with that new new Strata CGX for the first time.

Narrative Fermentations - Firebrand
Style: New England IPA
ABV: 6.60%     

Firebrand was hopped with a killer blend of HBC 586 and Citra with a little Citra Spectrum extract as well. The beer showcases aromas of tropical fruit and comes with some delicious flavors of honeydew melon, pineapple, guava, green papaya, along with some citrus qualities of grapefruit and tangerine. It's expressive and soft, but light in the mouth making it quite the porch pounder! It's a perfect quaff for these warm days.

Narrative Fermentations - Frontier Village
Style: New England IPA
ABV: 7.10%     

We wanted to pay homage to San Jose's Western-themed amusement park that operated from 1961-1980 on the site that is now Edenvale Park, next to Hayes Mansion. The beer was brewed with copious amounts of Citra, Galaxy, and Mosaic lending big flavors of tropical fruit, citrus, berry, and a delicious dankness. The high percentage of oats and wheat in the grist lends a pillowy soft body.

Narrative Fermentations - Froooot - Blueberries, Raspberries, Cherries
Style: Sour Fruited
ABV: 6.00%     

Our first slushie here at NF! We fermented out a very strong kettle sour base beer and diluted it back down to 6% abv with ridiculous amounts of pureed blueberry, raspberry, and cherry. We also added some milk sugar to leave behind a little sweetness that you'd expect from a slushie as well as a kilo of Grade A Madagascar Vanilla Beans that helps meld the fruit flavors and give the beer a dessert/pie edge. It stretches the idea of what beer is and takes it to the extreme while still being fun and delicious!

Narrative Fermentations - Garage Techniques
Style: Double IPA
ABV: 8.30%     

We used 100% Pilsner malt to give the beer a minimal malt component to express the beautiful hop flavors. It drinks very easily and is quite deceptive given the 8.3% abv. It's rocking some passionfruit and melon flavors along with some citrus and dank accents.

Narrative Fermentations - Good Moment
Style: Double IPA
ABV: 8.10%     

This beer was inspired by a homebrew brewed by our good friends Jimmy Quenelle and Michael Loperena. After a long day at the brewery this past winter, we stopped by a bonfire at Jimmy's place on the way home and tried one of their new brews that was a WC IPA using a mix of Mosaic, Sabro, and Vic Secret. It was freaking delicious and we knew we wanted to use that combination at the brewery. We asked them if they'd be up to brew something similar with us and they were all in. Using their recipe as a guide, a few tweaks were made to it to make it more of an NF West Coast style of beer, but the hop combination remained the star of the show. The name of the beer comes from one of the many Jimmy-isms that our good friend is known for.

Narrative Fermentations - Havoc
Style: American IPA
ABV: 6.60%      IBU: 60.0

Havoc is a dry, danky, and resinous West Coast, just like we like them! It's combining some super expressive NZ qualities with the amped up danky Mosaic Cryo. We also got our hands on some of that delicious Nelson SubZero Hop Kief from Freestyle Farms to add another rad layer of Nelson! The nose jumps out of the glass with dank/diesel along with passionfruit and citrus. In your mouth, there are some deliciously bright flavors of gooseberry, passionfruit, kumquat, lime, mango, and berry. We left the grain bill very simple, based on pils malt, to allow the rad hop flavors to shine. The bitterness is moderate, but leaves an oily tongue coating dryness that makes this beer hard to put down.

Narrative Fermentations - Inna Di Morrows
Style: Triple IPA
ABV: 10.50%      IBU: 80.0

We used Gambrinus Pilsner malt out of Canada which is one of the leanest and most pale malts on the market. We also used some dextrose (corn sugar) to bump up the abv to 10.5% to keep it as dry and lean as possible in order to let the hops take center stage. Speaking of hops, we added Mosaic & Nelson to the whirlpool at 2#/bbl to make it nice and grippy and then loaded it with more of our hand selected Mosaic & Mosaic Cryo along with some killer Nelson & Nelson CGX (lupulin pellets) from Hop Revolution out of NZ at a rate of just over 5#/bbl.

Narrative Fermentations - It Comes in Pints
Style: Rice Lager
ABV: 5.10%     

We're excited to release our first rice lager! We really enjoy the light body of this beer along with the crisp and clean expression. The carbonation is bright and frothy and makes for a super refreshing quaff. Whether your working in the yard, enjoying a meal, or just want something to sip on while the sun's out, this is the answer!

Narrative Fermentations - It's A Sprint, Not A Marathon
Style: New England Triple IPA
ABV: 10.50%     

We double dry-hopped this beer with ridiculous amounts of Citra, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin. Weighing in at a robust 10.5% alc/vol, this beer is bursting at the seems with flavors of ripe mango, pineapple, kiwi, stone fruit, and melon. Lace-up those running shoes and jog on over to score yours today!

Narrative Fermentations - Knusprig
Style: Festbier
ABV: 5.90%      IBU: 22.0

Knusprig is a deep yellow German style Festbier coming in at 5.9 percent alc vol. It's malt forward with very minimal hop influence, but still bright and lively. It has a beautifully subtle character of lightly toasted bread dough with the use of Vienna and Munich malts supporting the Pilsner malt base. It's a great way to welcom in the season and goes great with a wide range of food.

Narrative Fermentations - Mic Czech
Style: Pilsner
ABV: 5.30%     

Pours a beautiful pale straw yellow color with moderate carbonation. It has a wonderful bready pilsner malt quality with a slightly elevated noble hop presence from the generous use of Saphir and Hallertau Mittelfruh. It's bright and refreshing with a touch more body from the 5.3% abv but drinks fairly dry for a refreshing quaff. This is a step back towards a more traditional Pils for us, with some minor tweaks that give it our own thumbprint on the style.

Narrative Fermentations - On GP
Style: Pilsner
ABV: 5.20%      IBU: 35.0

I had an awesome time collaborating on this recipe and brewing this beer with Bookie & Denzel, the duo behind Brewing with Brothas. For the recipe, we based the beer on Weyermann Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner malt. This barley was malted using a traditional floor malting process which gives the beer a more intense malt quality, showing big aromas of biscuit and honey. We also used a little melanoidin malt to mimic the flavors achieved through a traditional decoction process. For the hops, we used a blend of Hallertau Mittelfruh and Saaz Cryo.....yes, they make Saaz Cryo! We then fermented the beer with our house lager yeast, the Weihenstephaner strain of Saccharomyces pastorianus, which gives us a highly attenuated beer with very minimal es

Narrative Fermentations - Stone's Throw
Style: American IPA
ABV: 6.80%      IBU: 65.0

We kept this WC extra crispy with a minimalistic malt bill and a bright, spritzy carbonation. The nose is dank, diesel, and ripe tropical fruit. Those flavors continue on in the mouth with notes of white wine, lychee, pine, and grapefruit/citrus. It finishes with a dry sticky mouthfeel that begs for another sip.

Narrative Fermentations - Sundial Mottos
Style: New England IPA
ABV: 6.70%      IBU: 15.0

Sundial Mottos is a dive into the berry expression of hops. You may be familiar with Cryo Pop Original Blend, but they also put out a couple of other blends....their "M" (Mango) blend as well as their "B" (Berry) blend, using a proprietary blend of hops to express a specific flavor. We used their B blend and supported it with Strata & Mosaic, 2 hops that I also get a lot of berry qualities from. This beer definitely expresses some big berry flavors along with notes of ripe mango, green papaya, pineapple, and a little dank. We used a sizeable addition of wheat and oats to create a pillowy texture.

Narrative Fermentations - Tangie
Style: West Coast IPA
ABV: 7.00%     

Our newest West Coast IPA hopped with HBC 586, Strata, and Mosaic Spectrum. It jumps out of the glass with aromas of Dank, grapefruit/citrus, amd a little pine. Those flavors are joined by green papaya, lychee, and white gummy bears in the mouth. It has a moderate bitterness that leads to a crisp and clean finish that sticks to your tongue.

Narrative Fermentations - Taonga
Style: New Zealand IPA
ABV: 7.50%      IBU: 75.0

Taonga is a NZ IPA hopped generously with Nelson, Nelson CGX, Riwaka, & Nectaron and was brewed in collaboration with the homie, Rob, from MachineHead Brewing. We used some lean pilsner malt for the base of this beer to help express the rad hop character. Based primarily on Nelson, we used Nelson lots from Clayton Farms, NZ Hops, and cryogenic lupulin pellets from Hop Revolution. In addition, we slid in some Riwaka & Nectaron which added some awesome depth and complexity. This beer presents with some deliciously saturated hop oil characteristics of nectarine, white wine, pink grapefuit, diesel, white peach, with a sticky resinous quality that grips the tongue.

Narrative Fermentations - The 9 Levels of Power
Style: New England IPA
ABV: 8.50%     

Two of our favorite hops coming together in a big ol’ juicy package. Ripe mango, kiwi, pineapple, and hints of citrus dominate this beautifully expressive DIPA. Surprisingly crushable for the ABV, but showy like a good DIPA should be! We dialed the bitterness way back on this, but the carbonation keeps the balance and drinkability in check. We went heavy on our hop usage to fully max out the juice meter!

Narrative Fermentations - The World Is Yours
Style: New England Double IPA
ABV: 8.70%     

We're bringing back one of our favorites from last year....but we did make 1 minor tweak, using the ultra-biotransformative Tropics yeast from Berkeley Yeast. We find that it adds to and compliments the super expressive flavors we're already getting from this rad hop blend. I find aromas of ripe mango, watermelon, lime zest, pineapple, and a light dank. Those flavors come through on the palate with added notes of passionfruit, kiwi, and tangerine. We find the elevated abv also helps pump those flavors up for one super expressive flavor onslaught!

Narrative Fermentations - Unhinged
Style: West Coast IPA
ABV: 7.10%      IBU: 68.0

Unhinged was brewed with a good friend of the brewery, Michael Loperena. It was based on a batch of homebrew that we brewed together at his place last year and turned out super rad. It bursts out of the glass with some danky aromas and offers up some killer flavors of passionfruit, lime zest, grapefruit, kiwi, & pineapple.
