The peopleโ€™s beer returns! For our third annual community callout, we used your immortal yard goliathโ€”50kg of homegrown rhubarbโ€”to elevate this barrel-aged beauty. Fun fact: this is actually based on one of Brandonโ€™s original recipes from back in the OG homebrew Establishment, and because weโ€™re always wont to do, weโ€™ve tweaked and improved the formula year after year. We blended four different saisons, three of which were fruited with different berries, to create that signature jammy backbone, finished with a sweet-tart candy snap on the first sip. You can taste the love and connection in every bottle.

Now available in the taproom, online, and at select retailers.

You know itโ€™s going to be a struggle to use the entirety of that mammoth plant this summer, so why not let us make some delicious beer with it? Bring your rhubarb stems into the taproom (Stems Only Please) any time from today until Saturday and weโ€™ll reward you for your troubles right when you come in. No more waiting โ€˜til next year!

WILD BEER TAKES TIME
Your Rhubarb will debut in a mixed-culture beer next summer, at the earliest. You can enjoy Electric Barbarella 2025, or any of our other monthly mixed-culture releases, to tide you over in the meantime.

Originating in the village of Lichtenhain, central Germany, Lichtenhainer is a historical style known to be lightly tart, oat-smoked and relatively low in alcohol. The height of its popularity was towards the end of the 1800s, and it was at one time widely available throughout the region. We put our own pineapple mezcal cocktail inspired twist on this now rare brew to create the beer you know and love as Left My Wallet In El Segundo.

We only use fresh fruit, and because the pineapple supply suffered serious challenges last year, we were unable to brew this staple seasonal, meaning this yearโ€™s celebration is extra hype!

Our fan favourite, multiple award-winning, legendary Lichtenhainer with Pineapple is back! Inspired by a trip to Mexico and the wonderful world of mezcal cocktails, this brew โ€” like many of our timeless classics โ€” started as a homebrew recipe in our humble beginnings. Masterfully balanced between ripe pineapple and smoked malt, it's slightly tart, totally refreshing, and is gonna have you vibing with all that summer rhythm. You got, got to get it.
