At Good Beer, we experiment daily with new ingredients, dry-hopped variations, aging in oak barrels, and hybridized styles. You'll find that our preferences generally steer us towards hoppy Pacific Coast American-style beers and fruity yeast-driven farmhouse style beers. The Tasting Room in Downtown Santa Ana will always feature one-off variations on our favorite styles. We'll do our best to list all the different variations of beer we have served in our tasting room right here:
