Almost Always On Tap
Bear Hug
Hazy IPA – 6.7% ABV
Like your coziest camp slippers at the end of a long day at the crag, you’ll love this smooth and pillowy Hazy IPA. Mellow bittering, prominent aroma, and a dry hop with Mosaic and Simcoe make this a delicious choice for hop lovers of all kinds.
Layback Lager
American Lager – 4.9% ABV
When you can’t jam, you can just lay it back. Enjoy this smooth, crisp, easy drinking lager while reminiscing about past sends, or dreaming of new ones to come.
Off Belay
Low Alcohol Pale Ale – 0.75% ABV
We were asked about non-alcoholic beers, so we decided to give one a go! A little bit above the 0.5% ABV threshold, Off Belay is still very low in alcohol at under 1%. We dry hopped it with Citra to keep it fresh and a little bit hoppy.
Piton Pilsner
American Lager – 4.5% ABV
Clean, crisp, and light bodied, this lager is a very nice alternative to the bitter and hoppy IPAs and Pale Ales that are so popular. This beer was brewed entirely with California grown and malted barley, keeping it as local as possible. Perfect for a post-send beer!
It Gose Boys
Lemon Cherry Gose – 5.2% ABV
Lemon and cherries on top of a clean, sea-salted gose make this nicely balanced with tartness and a bit of sweetness. The name comes from the famous quote from Lynn Hill after the first free ascent of El Capitan’s Nose, “It goes boys.”
Beta Sprayer
West Coast IPA – 6.5% ABV
This West Coast IPA is bitter, hoppy, and clean with notes of citrus and pine, and we’re happy to give you the beta on it. We threw all classic C hops into this one: Centennial and Cascade for bittering, Chinook throughout, and a heavy blast of Citra for aroma and flavor. Delicious.
Rotating Beers
Check Instagram for the latest, but here’s an example of the many beers in our taproom’s rotation.
Alpine Start
Espresso Porter – 7.0% ABV – 22 IBU
We teamed up with Chaos Coffee Roasters for this amazing project. Custom roasted espresso on a smooth Baltic Porter makes the Alpine Start worth the early wake up. Chocolate notes, smooth roasted and caramel malts and a nice, dark espresso finish. We don’t really recommend a beer for breakfast, but if we were to have one, this would be the perfect grab.
Arete
Amber Ale / Alt Bier – 4.8% ABV
Arete is brewed in the style of a classic Northern German Altbier with all North American malts, the bulk of them grown right here in California. A delicate balance between malty and bitter, this beer is very approachable no matter your style.
Bear Hug
Hazy IPA – 6.7% ABV
Like your coziest camp slippers at the end of a long day at the crag, you’ll love this smooth and pillowy Hazy IPA. Mellow bittering, prominent aroma, and a dry hop with Mosaic and Simcoe make this a delicious choice for hop lovers of all kinds.
Black is Beautiful
Imperial Stout – 10% ABV
Black is Beautiful is an imperial stout developed by Weathered Souls Brewing of San Antonio, TX. This nationwide collaboration is part of an effort to raise awareness about the daily injustices endured by BIPOC Americans and to support real legal reform. All proceeds of this beer go to the ACLU – Sacramento County Chapter.
CCBA Pale Ale
5.8% ABV – 35 IBU
A celebration of California Craft Beer, this state-wide collaboration was brewed to support the California Craft Brewers Association (CCBA). This American Pale Ale is brewed with all California grown and malted barley and very select hops that shine throughout. Enjoy, and thank the CCBA for all that they do for us!
Deadpoint
Black Pilsner – 5.2% ABV
Traditionally referred to as a black lager or schwarzbier, this clean & dry lager has notes of milk chocolate and dark roasted barley. So take a sip, relax, and reach for that distant hold.
Elvis Leg
West Coast IPA – 6.8% ABV – 40 IBU
We Just Can’t Help Falling In Love with this one! A classic West Coast IPA, Elvis Leg is bitter, citrusy, and hoppy. Loaded with Mosaic and Citra, this beer will definitely have you All Shook Up uh huh, uh huh, yaay yay.
First Ascent
American Pale Ale – 5.3% ABV
This was the first beer we brewed at Touchstone Brewing, so we named it appropriately. This Pale Ale drinks like a mellow IPA, featuring West Coast IPA hops throughout the recipe. First Ascent was an immediate staff favorite, so it will be around full time!
Galactic Hitchhiker
Nebulous Pale Ale (hazy pale) – 5.5% ABV – 21 IBU
A tribute to our brewmaster’s favorite trilogy, this Nebulous Pale Ale is smooth, mellow, and is a constant reminder of the theme, “Don’t Panic.” Galaxy hops shine through a hazy pale ale backbone without overpowering, to help guide you through the universe in search of 42.
Mayor of Indian Rock
Imperial Stout – 9.8% ABV – 70 IBU
Known as the Mayor of Indian Rock for his knowledge of every element and willingness to share beta, we brewed a dedication beer for our friend, Dave Altman. Dave was a part of the Touchstone Climbing family for more than 2 decades. This Imperial Stout stands strong, with roasted notes of chocolate and coffee, finishing very smooth and silky.
The Meadow
Dry Hopped Pilsner – 4.2% ABV
Rest Days in Yosemite Valley always include a trip to The Meadow. This super crispy, easy drinking pilsner is dry hopped with Zuper Zaazer from Hop Head Farms, leaving you with gentle notes of Lemongrass at each sip. Go relax in The Meadow…with The Meadow.
OktoberWest
Festbier – 5.9% ABV
A traditional German lager built with true West Coast ingredients, this is our version of a German Festbier. Made with 100% California malt from Admiral Maltings and Pacific Northwest hops from Yakima Chief, you’ll only need to go to Germany for the Frankenjura.
The Oaks
Dry Hopped Blond Ale – ? ABV
A classic blond ale with the heightened aroma and flavor of dry hops.
