“The Official Craft Beer of Tailgating”™

Year Round Releases:

Blacktop Blonde: ABV: 5.0% IBU: 19Tailgate Jay's Blacktop Blonde

Blacktop Blonde is our homage to you, the tailgater. It is our way to say, “We see you out there on the blacktop and we know you’re thirsty.” This is why you deserve a 100% natural craft beer brewed with the same stuff cavemen used thousands of years ago. Named with the help of “Jay the Tailgate Guy,” this is an American blonde ale that stays true to form. Bold use of magnum and cascade hops create a soft, subtle spice that sets this easy drinker apart from the rest. Beautiful golden malts complete this light colored, easy drinking ale. Crack one of these beauties wherever you are, and in the immortal words of Jay the Tailgate Guy, “Grill on.”

Tailgate HefeweizenHefeweizen: ABV: 4.9% IBU: 28 TailGate Beer does an American take on the German classic. This hard-to-pronounce cloudy ale has hints of citrus complemented by sprinkles of spice. Proud of the name’s “weizen” (wheat) base ingredient, TGB draws most of its flavor from the famed grass plant. This Hefe is one truly crisp and refreshingly unfiltered ale that garnishes well with a lemon or an orange! Be sure to impress your friends with your fine tuned palate and cultured vocabulary next time you belly up to your TailGate Beer “HEH-feh-vite-zehn.”

Thank you to all of the loyal fans of TailGate Beer. You asking for Amber Wave or IPA on tap has made it so that we can release specialty releases and even seasonals. In order to keep up with our current national expansion and switch to becoming the first brewing company from San Diego in a 12oz can, we needed to scale back to our 2 most popular styles. Your emails, tweets, facebook posts and compliments through your local bartenders and servers have made it easy to see which two those are. Expect us to release 2 new styles in a can every year. I’m smelling something hoppy in January 2012. Stay tuned and keep enjoying our craft beer in a can with us.

Cheers!
