Another American Lager? Well, that's TECHNICALLY CORRECT - but of course we put our own Radiant touch on it. Witness this crystal-clear, straw-yellow pour that oozes classic domestic personality with an Anaheim flair. Immediate aromas of hay, freshly baked bread, bergamot and alpine flowers are balanced with delicate malt sweetness and restrained bitterness on the palate. Notes of crackers, lemon peel, and white flowers round off this crisp, carbonated beer that just tastes... correct!

American Lagers of days past linger around us like LITTLE PLANETS. It's difficult not to be attracted to the gravity of the giants that circled before; the colossal movements of our brewing forefathers. Fear not though, we won't fall too far out of orbit of the original "beer-flavored beer". At 4.5%, this classic American Lager isn't reinventing the solar wheel but rather bringing the ship back to earth. A clear, pale straw hue with retentive white foam hosts a light, crackery malt backbone with a dry, highly carbonated profile that lends well to the starry sprinkles of hop spice and hints of rice. Infinitely crushable like the pioneers before it, just brewed for the modern space age.

In between skies you can see CLOUD ILLUSIONS. What was then has floated into what is now. A 4.5% German-style Pilsner that rides the nearly transparent line between tradition and modernity, woven in the steam of Saphir and Spalt Select hops and German Pilsner malt. Fine vapors of herbal bergamot and black tea sustain honeysuckle and dried apricot. Balanced and floating are flavors of rustic bread and noble-hop derived alpine flowers and fresh black pepper. Well-carbonated, dry, and crispy; the ideal for cloud gazing.

It's bright. It's blonde. It's the BEACON STREET SPECIAL. This is our very first Blonde Ale, a dignitary of summer crushers. Aromas of toast, white bread, and crackery malt waltz ahead of light twists of lemon-lime. Low bitterness, inviting breadiness, and slight citrus heed the streets of summer. See ya on Beacon Street.

We were craving a new fermentation project, so we took our favorite Michigan Montmorency Cherries and fermented them with wine yeast for an elevated version of a seltzer. Tart, low in alcohol, highly carbonated, but emphasizing quality cherries instead of sugar. A gorgeous bloody-red pour topped with some pink foam sets off wonderful, bright cherry aromas with more subtle dark fruit, plum, and white pepper. The lightly puckering, effervescent mouthfeel gives way to vanilla, baking spices, light cola, rhubarb, and of course - fresh cherry pie.

This ain't juice - it's MAMBO JAMBO. A fruited smoothie sour in the spirit of our favorite shall-not-be-named smoothie shop off-menu item. Adjuncted with mango, pineapple, orange, and lime, this has the hallmarks of a white gummy bear in liquid form. Big all-inclusive tropical resort vibes with this one; somewhere between a dreamsicle and an island cooler with sweet creaminess from the mango and a nice acidic kiss from pineapple and citrus. It'll have you saying, "More Mambo Jambo!"

It's Blue, da ba dee da ba di. Get an earful of this RHAPSODY IN BLUE, a 6.0% Blue Hawaiian-inspired Seltzer based off the cocktail of the same name. We took our seltzer base and added pineapple, coconut, orange zest, and blue spirulina to create a delicious (and blue) tropical beverage. You can sip it in the ocean, on a boat, or heck - even in our taproom!

Welcome back to the sour zoo; did you miss our favorite animal, BABY FLAMINGO? This delicate beast croons with dramatic colors hopping through magenta and fuschia with a pleasant pink head. Additions of pink dragon fruit, passionfruit and hibiscus lend color, tartness and a wonderful fruity mix of flavors. Hop to it, flamingo lovers.

Taste the shine of these BUBBLY LIGHTS. It's an Aperol Spritz-inspired Wine Spritzer, Radiant style. We fermented chardonnay grapes with bittering botanicals, citrus zest and a bit of hibiscus and added an absolutely illuminating level of carbonation for a spectacle of elegant effervescence. Bright orange flavor; a bit sweet; a hint bitter; a sparkling acclamation of the favorite aperitivo.

A new year means a BLANK SLATE. Every year our house witbier gets a bit of a facelift, maintaining the same base recipe while adjusting the botanicals. For 2024, Blank Slate takes inspiration from a subtle Southeast Asian spin, blending the traditional wit spices of coriander and bitter orange peel with a few more citrus varities and hints of other regional botanicals like lemongrass, basil, ginger, and a few secret spices. We're getting the same lovely wit aromas and flavors as always; Belgian esters, light phenols, coriander and citrus taking center stage, but now with more of an herbaceous, floral character, and an ever-so-slight warming spice. Come try this tabula rasa today!

FAREWELL AND HELLO to the ever-amorphous season of Saison. This draft-only Radiant rendition marks our first official entry into the style with a deliberately dense progression of aromas and flavors that still remains easy drinking. Spicy and herbal scents define this beer with spicy ginger, bosc pear, and black pepper up front and center, followed by a light ester profile with dried pomme fruit. A highly carbonated, dry, medium-bitter body showcases tasting notes of tellicherry black pepper, dried apricot, and further herbal hop notes. Let's say hello again before our goodbye.

Take a stroll through the RIVER GARDENS. Enjoy a relaxing 5.1% New Zealand-centric Pilsner honed in on the friendly flora down under; Nelson Sauvin. A pleasant pale yellow pour bubbles up to retentive white foam with floating aromas of gooseberry and nectarine. Inviting flavors of melon, honeysuckle, and freshly baked bread emerge from each dip into the proverbial hoppy waters. Delicate, easy drinking, and highly carbed for your crushing pleasure.

It's CENTRIFIGUGAL MOTION, it's perpetual bliss. It's a combo of Citra, Oregon Chinook, Strata, and Idaho 7 in a hazy pale ale. It's big whiffs of tropical pineapple, mandarin zest and cotton candy that leap into larger flavors of mandarin, pineapple, and papaya. It's a pillowy mouthfeel, with some balanced bitterness. It's a Hazy Pale Ale for today.

Grab your skates and start the tuneage: today, WE ROCK (AND ROLL). Nab some air off the triple combo of Citra, Strata, and Amarillo hops before dipping into this pineapple juice derby of tropical tricks. We picked up aromas of pineapple, lychee, and melon cruising through the courses of guava and peach iced tea flavor. Shred carefully - this one's a crusher.

MAYBE I'M AMAZED by you, modern Hazy IPA. Particularly with the quirky combo of Mosaic, Citra, Enigma, and Simcoe hops that define you. Your gorgeous hazy pineapple juice pour that glows through glass, beneath that full white head of foam. Enthralling are your aromas of orange, jackfruit, and piña colada, matched only by your tropical flavors of juicy, juicy guava and fresh pineapple. Maybe I'm amazed enough to have another.

We like to weave through the modern definition of West Coast IPA, though we always return to the PARALLEL PATH. This time, it's a westie with a contemporary state of mind and a hop bill of Simcoe, Mosaic, and Motueka. A light gold body and rocky white head throw out light aromas of familiar dankness with big, fruity scents like key lime, sherbet, and papaya. Gooseberry hits on the first sip but quickly turns to tropical fruit and kaffir lime. The hops shine through with a subtle, supporting malt presence and a bright bright body that finishes dry. A path worth paralleling.

What's more exciting than GAMES WITH FRIENDS? We took the playful international spirit of camraderie and shotputted it right into a West Coast IPA. Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo, and Riwaka compete in an epic hoplympics showdown. Hurdle over aromas of orange zest, guava, and gooseberry before diving into a pool of peachy, tangerine flavor.

I feel that orange glow WHEREVER I'M WITH YOU. The resounding hues from the haze of my dreams awaken the flock of Mosaic, Nelson, Simcoe and Cashmere floating around. Rolling through the remnants too are the presence of tangerine, gooseberry, and pineapple. Lowly bitter yet full of the feel of the tropical. Delicious Déjà vu, wherever I'm with you.

Set your beer down in the setting shadow of the sun... NOW FACE WEST. You'll see the intense inspiration for this new West Coast IPA; a dazzling, yellow-hued taste of hop heaven. Imbued with the combination of Citra, Anchovy, Simcoe, and Idaho 7, this scintillating beverage gives off scents of strawberry hard candy, white grapefruit, and slight cannabis. Flavors of guava and passionfruit shine through light biscuity malt and a firm carbonation with a dry finish. Now face East - it's time for another sip.

Hold our newest Hazy DIPA to the light and witness the DICHROIC EFFECT. A hop kaleidoscope of Citra, Nelson, Motueka, Cashmere, and Idaho 7 bursts out a vast array of crazy juicy flavor. A cascade of aromas like fresh pineapple juice, mango, and guava precede the slightest dank notes before blazing onto the palate with even more creamy mango and guava. It's beautiful liquid gold - from any angle.

The bond between Orange County breweries has always been GUILDED TOGETHER. This collaborative effort celebrates the camraderie of our neighbors and friends that make this craft community shine. Our take is a West Coast DIPA brewed with the blend of Citra, Mosaic, Strata, and Loral Cryo. There's punchy aromas of pineapple, tangerine, and fruit punch and lovely flavors of guava, grapefruit, and melon. Medium bitterness with a touch of alcohol heat that adds to a substantial body. Let's drink this... together!

Will we ever make a true-to-style Schwarzbier? EVENTUALLY MAYBE. This classic German style is a bit of a conundrum; the look of a darker ale with the hint of a lighter lager. Less of a light porter and more of a black pils, this is a lovingly-crafted, cola-hued, tan foam-laden winter beer dream. Brimming with bready notes of pumpernickel and chocolate wafer, it's balanced with the floral and spice characteristic of Noble hops. Wait no longer; this 4.6% dry and hoppy homage is finally ready to head home.

Champurrado version of our S'more Blanket

We scavenged the GRAND CHARTS for the perfect summer bottle before we dug up this Tiki-inspired Rum Barrel-Aged Strong Ale. This treasure of an ale was aged in Barbados Rum Barrels for 38 months before small gems of Grand Marnier and Chartreuse Barrel were blended and conditioned with Mexican Camino Cacao Nibs, Macadamia Nuts, and Orange Zest. A prize pour of mahogany fades into a subtle tan foam before uncovering aromas of deep, complex chocolate, subtle nutty notes, and an air of citrus. Beneath the sands of oak lie more rich, fudgey characters alongside vanilla, macadamia, and a combination of spice and orange. Walking a delicate balance of viscosity, with a long, lingering finish, it's clear X marks the charts.

This latest Barrel-Aged Stout has been AGED TO CONFECTION. Inspired by an Oatmeal Pecan Chocolate Cookie, we took a base of Imperial Stout matured in Stagg Jr Barrels for 41 months and blended it with an additional Imperial Stout kept in W.L. Weller 12yr Barrels for 32 months, before conditioning on Ghana Kome Cacao Nibs, Texas Hill Country Pecans, Honey Oat Granola, and salt. A drinkable dessert that's as deep as it is luscious, aromas are brimming with bourbon, loads of dark chocolate and fudge, nutty pecan, and freshly baked oatmeal cookies. Flavors frontload a massive attack of baking chocolate, nutty oatmeal, and further barrel character. A precisely balanced barrel to adjunct character with just the slightest sense of salinity in the finish make this a decadent wonder that would make any Grandma proud. This confection is perfection.

Seeing red ain’t always bad! The newest wine on our roster, Radiant Potrero Field Red Blend, was produced in collaboration with our friends at @sansliege. This blend of Zinfandel, Mataro, Syrah, and Counoise is a bright, jammy vino with earthy aromas of cigar humidor, brambles, and pipe tobacco and medium tannins, baking spices, and blackberry on the palate.

We just added a new Sauvignon Blanc onto our draft list, made in collaboration with our friends at @groundworkwineco in Paso Robles.
Enjoy tropical and citrusy aromas with passion fruit and guava thiols balanced by lime zest, white grapefruit, citrus blossoms, and a bit of white peach. Lively flavors of granny smith apples, grapefruit, lime, and a touch of lemongrass are balanced with a clean and lively finish.
It’s easy drinking, bright, and the perfect goodbye to winter as we roll into some beautiful spring drinking weather.
