Winner of the gold at the 2014 World Beer Cup® in the rye beer category, Habitus is a very drinkable, high gravity, crisp and spicy rye IPA, hopped generously throughout the brew process and then dry-hopped with over a pound per barrel of Sterling and Chinook hops. Earthy and spicy notes from both the hops and the rye malt, complimented by the floral and piney aromatics.

Made by Hess Brewing for West Coaster's grand opening, January 21st, 2011. This our rotating beer. It changes with each batch.

Grapefruit Solis kicks it up a notch by taking an awesome San Diego–style IPA and pumping it full of citrusy grapefruit—we're talking real fruit, zest and juice. The hops complement the zestiness, and the subtle malt makes this an award-winning, crisp, and deliciously refreshing India pale ale.

Into the Sunset showcases the skills of our brewers, combining malt, hops and real blood oranges into a true San Diego-style IPA. Originally commissioned for the San Diego County Fair, we loved it so much that we had to put this sunset into a bottle. This refreshing IPA is a riff on our Solis series, originally as award-winning Batch #42.
