The Good Wolves didnβt travel far for our newest forest beer. We were invited by local beer expert, aficionado, and all-around badass, Kevin, from @newmoonnaturalfoods, to harvest wild hops in the back yard behind the natural food store. Truckee has a rich brewing history starting with Boca brewing company (c. 1870-1930). Credited with Californiaβs first lager and producing upwards of 30,000 bbls of beer (thatβs a lot even by todayβs measure!) Boca brewing used Truckee water, locally grown 2-row barley, and local hops to craft their legendary lager beer. Today if you visit the Boca brewery site along the river you can still find living evidence of our history; wild hops from over a century ago tangling their way towards the sun. With help from our friends and neighbors, The Good Wolf is proud to resurrect this ghost to craft a local lager based on Boca Brewing companyβs historic stalwart. We will use locally grown 2-row Copeland barley (fed by Sierra Mountain runoff) from @40milemalt, wild hops picked and grown right here in Truckee, and our beautiful water, rich in mineral content. Keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks for Boca Ghost, a unique forest beer grown and produced right here in Truckee. Cheers, πΊπ

Unique to wet hop beer is the aroma of fresh tomato vine; a pleasant and mild green chlorophyll note that reminds you this beer was freshly harvested and ready to be savored. Come try Harvest and end your weekend right. πΊπ

Today in the Wolf Garden we are so stoked to have not one, but two, killer food trucks. You know and love @mogrog_rotisserie; delicious slow cooked meats, seasonal ingredients, and a super creative and satisfying menu. We will also have @blendlifewest with their hot, hand pressed sammys, house made granola and bowls, and crushable smoothies. Blend Life is definitely a wolf favorite, we love how clean it burns. If that wasnβt enough we also have Harvest, our wet hop Strata pale. Brewed within 24 hours of picking and released yesterday, it doesnβt get any fresher. Cans are available to go as well. Itβs all going down starting at Noon at The Wolf. Looking forward to enjoying this beautiful Saturday with yβall. πΊπ

π₯ππ―π³π’π°π± : 5.2% : π΄π’π± π₯π¬π πππ©π’ ππ©π’ What a Friday! Wet hops are here and we are beyond excited to release Harvest, our @crosbyhops Strata wet hop pale ale. Brewed within 24 hours of picking, there is no better expression of such a phenomenal ingredient. For Harvest, we utilized wet hops in every step of the brewing process to maximize flavor and aroma and it comes through in an incredibly clean, fresh, aromatic, and flavorful beer. The recipe was designed to showcase Strata hops in their most pure form and we think itβs something truly special. Strata is described as βPassion fruit meets ganja.β It brings layered notes of tropical fruit including; mango, melon, fresh strawberry, and citrusy grapefruit zest. Along with the fruit comes a dank, lingering herbal note of sticky cannabis. Unique to the wet hop are notes of fresh tomato vines; a pleasant and mild green chlorophyll note that reminds you that this beer was freshly harvested and meant to be savored. We have a very limited supply and it wonβt last long, so make sure to grab some while itβs here and see what wet hops are all about. Draft releases today, cans will be available early next week. Cheers to the weekend yβall. πΊπ

π πΆπ π©π¬ππ° πͺπ¬π«π¬π π©π’ : 6.7% : π«π’π¦ππ Pastoral and savage, Cyclops Monocle hails from a faraway land where fantasy becomes reality and this level of flavor and aroma are a myth. Heavily hopped (3.7#/bbl) with Cashmere, Azacca, and Motueka, The Cyclops Monocle is a beastly yet refined juicy IPA with tasting notes of coconut, pineapple jolly rancher, and lime. With an intense aroma and punchy fruit flavors, this benevolent creature is meant to please, but whatever you do, donβt look directly in the eye. Cans and draft drop in the tasting room today. πΊπ

π±π₯π’ π€π―ππΆ π΄π¦π±π π₯ : 3.8% : π‘π―πΆ π₯π¬πππ’π‘ π€π―π¦π°π’π±π±π’ Fermented with one of our favorite Belgian yeast strains and cold conditioned for 2 months before delicately dry hopping with a beautiful crop of lemony Motueka hops. While not necessarily typical for this style we find cold conditioning really helps to round out the flavors and contribute to a balanced and as the Belgians put it, βdigestibleβ beer. The Motueka hops bring lemon zest and citrus flavors which perfectly compliment the clove and spice esthers. . Simply put, this Belgian table beer was designed and crafted for drinking. . So what is the story with Grisette? Translated as βlittle greyβ in English, the tale goes that during the war, soldiers who were convalescing in hospitals were served a low abv beer to aid in their recovery by nurses wearing gray uniforms. Little can be corroborated about the history of this almost forgotten Franco/Belgian style, but we love the idea of a complex but approachable session beer. We hope you do too. Cheers, πΊπ

Weβre starting to see the first chill of Autumn here in the mountains and that means stout season. Earlier this year we tucked some beautiful beers in barrels in anticipation. We have a coconut imperial stout and a mocha imperial stout in rye, rum, and lots of bourbon barrels. We pull nails tomorrow so keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks for some monster beers; they wonβt be for the faint of heart. π€π‘β οΈ
