On Tap for SD20TWENTY:

RELAY IPA - West Coast IPA | 7.2% ABV | 72 IBU
With a focus on flavor & aroma instead of just intense bitterness, Relay IPA will produce flavors of pine, passion fruit, tangerine, mango & pineapple. Using Columbus, Simcoe, Citra, Centennial & Amarillo hops.

BARRIO LAGER - Mexican Style Lager | 4.5% ABV | 12 IBU
Crispy, light, refreshing. Mexican style lagers are quaffable beverages. You can have a few at lunch or on the beach and still paddle out for an afternoon surf, you can drink a six pack on the golf course and not fall over the last hole. Our take on this classic is made from both Domestic 2 row barley and flaked Maize. It's not at all hoppy or bitter, just smooth and drinkable.
