Ghost Town Brewing

Ruination. Four fresh destroyers arrive today. Here's what awaits: **Gravebier** — 4.9% Kellerbier. Crackery pils malt, herbal spice, noble hop whispers. Cold-conditioned, never filtered. Bready, floral, lightly earthy, bone-dry finish. A beer for dim cellars and long pulls. **Gloomfang** — 6.7% Hazy IPA. Mosaic + Citra + Krush Cryo Hops. Your new steady, wrapped in @theartofskinner 's nightmarish art. Monstrous Peach, Passion Fruit and sappy Pine. Now a permanent fixture, ready to crush any day of the week. **Helles Awaits** — 4.9% Helles Lager. Decocted mash caramelizing layers of flavor in this crushable light lager. Nuanced Herbal notes, hints of Floral, trace of Honey. The neighborhood's favorite trick-free treat. **Purgatory** — 7.1% West Coast IPA. Nelson + Krush + Simcoe Hops. State of soul putrefaction where you have dwelled all along. Iniquitously delicious, bright and balanced citrus: Apricot, Kumquat and Grapefruit. Lingering West Coast venom. 12NOON today at our tasting rooms in West Oakland (1960 Adeline St) and the Laurel District (3506 MacArthur Blvd, @ghosttownbrewing_laurel ). Second wave drops ~2-3PM. Come with it, quick.

Malignant⁠ ⁠ Disturbing: Dark Chapter. Dark Czech-Style Lager collab with deadly scribes of Almanac Beer Co. (@almanacbeer , Alameda, CA). 4.9% sinister-slaker, awful aromas of Molasses, excruciating balance of Pils and Caramel flavors.⁠ ⁠ Marvelous: Heinous. West Coast IPA ripping at 7.2%, lousy and loaded with Mosaic + Riwaka + Columbus Cryo Hops. Reckless, reeking and riddled with notes of Blueberry, Pineapple and Guava.⁠ ⁠ Demented: Lecherous Haze. 6.5% lord of Hazy IPA with a certifiably sickening amount of Citra and Mosaic Hops. Crude, crusty and cranking flavors of Guava, Grapefruit and Green Leaves.⁠ ⁠ Shredder: Nose Goblin. 9.2% West Coast Imperial IPA super crusher, stuffed with Nelson + Mosaic + Strata Hops. Big honkin' flavors of Blueberry Reduction, Mandarine and Diesel.

Chum.⁠ ⁠ Fresh to death today is an East Bay, all day, West Coast IPA, made with our mates from down the way at Original Pattern Brewing (@originalpattern , Oakland, CA). Cobber pairs the T90 AND Cryo versions of Mosaic + Riwaka + Simcoe Hops in one massive scrum with a frenemy-like 7.1% ABV. Cobber has aggressive, tropical flavors of Mango, Raspberry and Apricot that will have you holding hands with strangers in no-time.⁠ ⁠ Newly spilt from our crypt is a lethal Lager, welcome Deadfall. This Barrel-Aged Bock was laid down in Bourbon Oak until we forgot about and was then packaged at a throttling 13.4%. Deadfall is the heavy trap to fall into that we, the dense, have been waiting for, promising a finale full of rich, smooth notes of Cola, Whiskey, and Molasses that is as welcome a demise as anyone could ask for.

Beguiling.⁠ ⁠ Watch your head around the town: Scythe. Charging 6.9% West Coast IPA wielding Citra + Mosaic + Strata Hops. Scythe is straight up dangerous, with sharp notes of Kiwi, Strawberry and Blood Orange.⁠ ⁠ 🤘Women Rock🤘: Desecration Of Souls. An annual assembly of amazing women in our local beer world brewed this 7% West Coast IPA, pairing the 2026 Pink Boots Hop Blend (@pinkbootssociety ) with our Mosaic + Citra + Columbus Cryo Hops. The result is an imminent and durable reign of flavors like Citrus, Blueberry and Dank.⁠ ⁠ Danger in the Distance: Pale Horse. 6.8% West Coast IPA storming in with a stampede of Nelson Sauvin + Mosaic Hops. The Bay Area trembles at the arrival of the thunderously aromatic and impeccably balanced Pale Horse, fuming with flavors of Raspberry, Fresh Pressed Orange Juice and Unleaded.⁠ ⁠ Power to the Pests: Rat Majesty. Hazy IPA with a mischief of Mosaic + Idaho 7 Hops that scurry and screech across this 6.6% ABV regime. Under the Rat Majesty we are experiencing a new era of luscious and smooth sips bringing dynamic flavors of Meyer Lemon, Guava and Blackberry Cobbler.⁠ ⁠ The day starts at 12 NOON, with Pale Horse, Desecration of Souls and Rat Majesty pouring on tap and ready for takeaway in cans at our tasting rooms in West Oakland and the Laurel District (@ghosttownbrewing_laurel ). Scythe arrives later on today on draft and in cans as well, around 2-3pm.

Imbecilic.⁠ ⁠ Suffering is part of the preparation: Hereafter. 9.1% pulverizing West Coast Imperial IPA brewed with fellow Hop heads at Shred Beer (@shredbeer , Rocklin, CA). Hereafter is brewed with an endless amount of Simcoe + Riwaka + Nelson + Mosaic Hops and has balanced notes of Armpit, unwashed Upper Lip and Animal Flatulence.⁠ ⁠ Named for the affliction, brewed for the afflicted: Distemper. The premier of this 6% West Coast Strong Pale Ale is showing symptoms of Bract 109 + Nectaron + Riwaka + Mosaic Hops which are highly contagious and can be deadly. If your mouth tastes akin to Feline Vomit, a High Fever or Apathy (mmm...apathy), that precede sensations similar to a clean, dry finish after a bout of the runs, then you have Distemper: go see your vet ya filthy animal.⁠ ⁠ Armageddon blues got ya down? Try Power Nap. A 6.9% West Coast IPA with a hornet's nest of Mosaic + Enigma + Citra Hops, sacrificing a soul in each sip. Waiting around to die with Power Nap's fiery lake of flavor of Cadaverine, Bile and the other yellow Liquid Waste, is a welcome respite.⁠ ⁠ Hereafter and Distemper are ready to wet your day starting at 12NOON, at our tasting rooms in West Oakland and the Laurel District (@ghosttownbrewing_laurel ). Power Nap swings the ax later on today at both locations, around 2-3pm. ⁠ ⁠ You can also catch us creeping with some bangers at this weekend's 90's Fest at Movement Brewing in Rancho Cordova and Lagerville in Buellton.

Galling.⁠ ⁠ Unsheathed. Disembodied, 6.9% West Coast IPA bursting with Mosaic + Simcoe + Krush + Columbus Cryo Hops. Skin-shedding flavors of Blackberry, Pine and Mango, with a bone-dry finish: hear the wind whistling through your own bones.⁠ ⁠ Wild. Feral Bloom, 7.3% Oak-Aged Saison that is a result of letting nature take the wheel. Wild fermentation and Brettanomyces create effervescent notes of White Pepper, bright Citrus and Hay.⁠ ⁠ Delierate. Total Maceration, 8.3% Oak-Aged Fruited Wild Ale that spent a year in Oak on Chardonnay juice from BXT (@bxtwines , Napa, CA) and then another 2 weeks on grape skins. Nothing is left behind, alongside color, tannin and body of white wine are notes of soft Grains, Light Oak Spice and a Tart finish.⁠ ⁠ Both Oak-Aged Mixed Ferm beers are ready to be poured (no bottles yet), at 12NOON in our tasting rooms in West Oakland and the Laurel District (@ghosttownbrewing_laurel ). Separate from yourself with Disembodied later on today around 2-3pm at both locations as well.

Unfortunate.⁠ ⁠ Ruthlessly ravage: Butchery West Coast IPA. 7.2% slammer, Mosaic + Nectaron + Columbus Cryo Hops show no mercy. Brute but brilliant flavors of Blackberry, Pineapple and Nectarine.⁠ ⁠ Haggard heat: Gaunt West Coast Pilsner. 5.2% scrawny slaker satiates with Riwaka + Nectaron + Mosaic Cryo Hops. Delightful and dissipating notes of Apricot, Pomelo and White Currant.⁠ ⁠ Ebullient ephemeral: Fleeting Hazy IPA. 6.5%, soft and fruity, foretold by Mosaic + El Dorado Hops. Fluffy flavors and firm aromas of Raspberry, Cherry and Watermelon.⁠ ⁠ All are ready to rock today at 12NOON at our tasting rooms in West Oakland and the Laurel District (@ghosttownbrewing_laurel ), where the food has been looking super fire lately.

Madness.⁠ ⁠ OAK🤝 DEN: Hopaganda West Coast IPA collab with Comrade Brewing Company (@comradebrewing , Denver, CO). 6.8%, Mosaic + Nectaron + Krush Hops deployed in traditional and Cryo form. Bold, juicy dissemination of Blueberry, bright Peach and sharp Citrus flavors. The Hops are real, resistance is futile.⁠ ⁠ Cutting and crowned: Mordant West Coast IPA is a for real masterpiece. 6.7% Mosaic + Strata Hopped 2025 World Beer Cup Gold🤘Medal🤘Winner. Acerbic flavors of Strawberry Shortcake, Blueberry and Lime.⁠ ⁠ Shoveling snot: Nose Goblin West Coast Imperial IPA. 9.2% perennial show-stopper Hopped with Nelson + Strata + Mosaic. Aggressively re-arranging days and blowing minds with never-ending flavors of Mandarine, Blueberry Reduction and Diesel.⁠ ⁠ TL/DR: Chasmic Absorptions Through Whirlpools of Disarray West Coast IPA. 7% 2025 World Beer Cup Silver 🤘Medal🤘 Winner, beguilingly Hopped with Nelson Sauvin Cryo + Mosaic Cryo + Strata, swirling with notes of Nectarine, Fresh Blackberry and White Currant.⁠ ⁠ Today, 12NOON, Nose Goblin, Mordant and Chasmic Absorptions Through Whirlpools of Disarray are ready to go, at our tasting rooms in West Oakland (1960 Adeline St) and the Laurel District (3506 MacArthur Blvd, @ghosttownbrewing_laurel ). Hopaganda invades later today at both around ~2-3PM, smash that link in bio for online ordering while you still can.

Relentlessly Resplendent.⁠ ⁠ Deviantly delectable: Perverse Inverse. 7% West Coast IPA not seen since a big year winning a Gold 🤘Medal🤘 at the 2025 World Beer Cup AND a Bronze 🤘Medal🤘 at the 2025 Great American Beer Festival. Further representing Oakland's glittering geist with flavors of Kiwi, Strawberry and Peach.⁠ ⁠ Shining and sumptuous: Shatterlight. 4.5% Italian Pilsner collab with the homies of Tenma Beer Project (@tenmabeerproject , Oakland, CA). A beautiful beer boasting a 2025 Great American Beer Festival Silver 🤘Medal🤘, Shatterlight is an exquisite and exclusive treat, with bright notes of Water Cracker, Lemongrass and a Floral Bouquet.⁠ ⁠ Fumes and felines: Necrocat. Hard to catch 5.9% West Coast Pale, hopped with Mosaic + Citra + Simcoe. Collarless but rocking a chain with a 2025 World Beer Cup Gold 🤘Medal🤘 on it and scratching with notes of White Peach, Tangerine and Pomello.⁠ ⁠ Easy and ebullient: Pena Smrti. 4.2% 12° Czech Pilsner inducing foaming at the mouth for a sip of this 2025 Great American Beer Festival Silver 🤘Medal🤘 winner. Soft and smoooooth with bright notes of Rice Cracker, Black Pepper Spice and excellent Beer Flavored Beer.⁠ ⁠ Tuck in your own chain and come check out Pena Smrti, Necrocat and Shatterlight at out tasting rooms in West and East Oakland (@ghosttownbrewing_laurel ), starting today at 12noon. Perverse Inverse arrives to flip your day upside down at both, later on ~230pm.

Deciders of Dank.⁠ ⁠ The first-ever Dank Duel is upon us. Powered by the dishers of dank at Yakima Chief Hops (@yakimachief , Yakima, WA), the Dank Duel is a competition between 11 super SICK breweries and their respective Dank Drive West Coast IPA.⁠ ⁠ All beers will feature the first of the 2026 Columbus Cryo amongst the rich variety that is the universe of Hops. But, only one brewery can be crowned the winner.⁠ ⁠ It all goes down today, Tuesday February 24th at 3pm with the dank winner announced around 5pm at our East Oakland tasting room (@ghosttownbrewing_laurel ), be sure to slide through and after trying them all, let us know who you are ghostriding with?⁠ ⁠ @alvaradostreetbrewery ⁠ @fortgeorgebeer ⁠ @highlandparkbrewery ⁠ @humblesea ⁠ @ismbrewing ⁠ @madewestbeer ⁠ @northparkbeerco ⁠ @riipbeer ⁠ @shredbeer ⁠ @sunriverbrewing ⁠ @thedankdrive

Odium.⁠ ⁠ Get in the van: Dank Drive. It is going to be a wild ride with this West Coast IPA brewed in collaboration with road warriors of Yakima Chief Hops (@yakimachief , Yakima, WA). Dank Drive is a sideshow in a can, shifting to a 7.1% ABV, powered by Mosaic + Citra + Enigma + Columbus Cryo Hops and laying down tracks of Lemon, Blackberry and of course, that Dank.⁠ ⁠ O foul and cursed thing, what demon from the depths of hell created thee? (Ghost Town, duh). Monkey's Paw, 100% Mosaic Hopped Hazy IPA with a consecrated 6.66% ABV. Monkey's Paw grants 3 tropical and thick flavors: Guava, Papaya and Orange Creamsicle provide a drier than a turkey sandwich finish.⁠ ⁠ Keeping to the corners. Lurker: 5.6% West Coast Pale Ale glaring down a litter box full of Hellertau Blanc + Nelson + Mosaic Hops. Light, quaffable and a tad feisty, Lurker has a quiet ferocity of flavor such as Pinot Gris, Lemon Bar and Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice.⁠ ⁠ Everything coming up smooth. Skull Haus: 6% Marzen, malted menace with a gutter of taste spilling throughout a pleasant malt sweetness. Skull Haus's mom says it is cool, thanks in part to the notes of Caramel, Warm Toast and Dried Currants within.⁠ ⁠ Wish on the Paw, try to pet Lurker and hang with the little (Marzen) guy at 12NOON today when our tasting rooms in West and East Oakland (@ghosttownbrewing_laurel ) open. Burnout with Dank Drive later today as well at both locations, ~230PM.
