Paying homage to a rather (in)famous surf spot/clothing optional beach in San Diego, Nelson the Greeter is the newest hoppy offering from Port Brewing. Using the brash flavors of Nelson hops to lead the charge, the Greeter has a strong hop supporting cast using Denali, Lemon Drop and Mosaic varietals to round out this pale ale. Notes of gooseberry and passionfruit dominate the nose with a clean tangerine and freshly cut stone fruit notes leading to a smooth, bitter, citrus finish. The pale ale will be quite the experience…kind of like a naked Nelson greeting you at the trail head.

A massively hoppy west-coast style pale ale. An initial nose of dankness with subtle pine. SPA starts with an initial bite from the hops and finishes with a refreshing tangerine-like bitterness.

Santa knows this is one seriously naughty, but nice beer. Brewed only once a year since it was first released in 1997. Santa's Little Helper has been our annual insurance policy against lumps of cola in our stockings. This Imperial Stout is as black as Christmas Eve with a decidedly smooth finish. We know you'll find it the perfect companion to chestnuts roasting by an open fire, paired with that lump of coal you'll be receiving. We look forward to the release of this beer which signals the impending arrival of the jolly old fat man and his merry band of elves. This year with coffee and cacao. Cheers!

Santa’s Little Helper, our Imperial Stout, starts with an emphasis on dark cocoa and roasted coffee aromatics. The finish lends hints of sweet crystal malt, warming tones of alcohol and a touch of hops, making a perfect accompaniment to leftover fruit cake and sugar cookies.

Delicious and yummy. Totally in the grand proud tradition of the IPA culture in San Diego.
