Monk’s Premonition

Belgian Blonde (5.6%) The award winning recipe from Paul Brown, the winner of our Belgian Beer Bonanza is finally here! It's a light Belgian table beer that is equal parts refreshing and flavorful with that quintessential spicy, floral aroma provided by the yeast. We love our Belgian beer at Side Gate and this is one you don't want to miss!

IPA (7.0%) Did you know hops and buds are both descended from the Cannabaceae family? In plant terms, this basically means they're sisters. To celebrate everyone’s favorite Springtime "Earth Day" we've pulled from our top shelf only the dankest, stickiest, most chronic West Coast IPA hops! Nelson, Riwaka, Idaho 7 and Columbus Cryo joint together to create powerful terpenes that will make you feel like you're on cloud 9.
