IPA’s / Hoppy Pale Ales
Hit The Lights! – by TapRoom
**2020 SD Int’l Beer Competition – Bronze! Chinook, Cascade, and Amarillo hops thrash about in this Black IPA. Aromas of citrus and pine are backed up by some roast and a full malt backbone. Hit The Lights drinks like our favorite metal bands play–loud, fast, and intense.
San Diego Proper – by TapRoom
SDP was created as an homage to the hop centric beer capital of the world, San Diego. A blend of new and classic hops meld to create a lupulin laden masterpiece in true San Diego hop-forward fashion.
Citra Starburst – by TapRoom
This super bright double IPA is literally bursting with tangerine and melon on the nose and drinks like a single IPA! Brewed with 100% Citra hops to deliver a smooth, bright citrus flavor profile and medium bitterness with a refreshingly dry finish.
Tropical Expressions – by TapRoom
Like diving into a bowl of tropical trail mix, exuding notes of dried papaya, diced pineapple, & toasted coconut followed by peach ring gummy candies and a hint of pine. Medium bodied hazy with low bitterness and a soft finish.
Lupulin Reign – by TapRoom
A beautiful golden straw color in the glass, the burst of fresh hop aromas of pine and citrus peel immediately greet the nose. A soft malt presence as a backdrop balances the intensely hoppy contributions of Mosaic, Simcoe, and Cascade Cryo hops. Bill used the hopback process, adding even more Mosaic hops, to further extract the delicate hop oils and aromas into this beer that would have otherwise been boiled off. Full-bodied with a longer finish.
Alpha Acid Trip – by TapRoom
Juicy, tropical fruit aroma, flooding the palate with piney, citrusy hop insanity. Dangerously drinkable with lingering bitterness and slight alcohol heat in the finish.

Uniquely Ours – by TapRoom
A unique, dry-hopped lager using Skagit Pilot Pilsner malts to provide a light body with soft, cracker-like notes, and light straw color. Galaxy hops were added throughout multiple stages, resulting in subtle floral, passion fruit, apricot, and key lime notes inviting your first sip. The light body is met by medium bitterness, mildly lingering to meet a crisp finish.
Cerveza a la Oso – by TapRoom
A hint of coffee and chocolate on the nose supported by subtle citrus and a breadcrust-like malt profile rounds out this well balanced black lager. Jorge, aka El Oso, joined in on this one to learn more about the brewing process. It’s the least we could do for all the tequila knowledge he’s shared!

Devil’s Play – by TapRoom
Citrus, clove, banana-like notes with underlying peppery alcohol notes. Brewed with a touch of orange peel and Citra hops to give Devil’s Play a hint of citrus on the back end. A beer this big isn’t to be reckoned with, lest you want to become a subject of the Devil’s Play.

COLLABORATIONS
AleSmith / TapRoom BoxCar Speedway Stout
BoxCar Speedway, a collaboration between SD TapRoom & AleSmith brewed to celebrate TapRoom’s 10 yr. Anniversary, is an Imperial Stout Aged in Premium Bourbon Barrels for one year with Madagascar Vanilla Beans, Brazil Forastero Cocoa Nibs, Hatch & Mulato Chilis, and a unique of blend of Columbian & Burundi Coffee locally roasted by Swell Coffee. This year will debut during our 10 year Anniversary party.
The Coffee:
Swell Coffee Co. supplied us with a unique blend of ultra premium Columbian & Burundi coffees, designed to hold up to the strength of this beer, while imparting their own nuanced flavor characteristics.
25% Peaberry grade coffee from Kayanza, Burundi in Africa. Peaberry grade coffee is produced from a natural mutation of the bean inside the cherry, where only a single bean is present inside the cherry providing a denser, sweet, and flavorful coffee.
Tasting Notes: Peach & Butterscotch
75% Finca La Virgen de Oro from Antioquia, Columbia, this is a true Estate coffee meaning it’s beans are milled and packed at the farm, unlike any other Columbian coffee.
Tasting Notes: Strawberry, Floral, Sweet Pepper, & Molasses.
The Chilies:
We used a blend of Hatch & Mulato chilies to further add to the complexity of this beer while contributing a touch of back end heat. The Hatch chilies provide a sweet earthiness, while the Mulato Chilies contribute notes of chocolate, cherry, & tobacco.
Cocoa Nibs & Vanilla Beans:
BoxCar was also aged on Brazil Forastero Cocoa Nibs and a healthy dose of Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla beans, which accentuate the sweeter, complex, whiskey character.
A host of resources, time, & passion went into the making of this collaboration, which we believe come through in the finished product. We are humbled to finally be able to share this project with everyone. Cheers from AleSmith & TapRoom team, enjoy!
