American Pale Ale5.5% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Hazy. Bitter. Unrefined. Sometimes a beer comes along that just defies what you think a style should encompass. We took a pale ale and hopped it like an IPA. Then we dry hopped the hell out of it. What came out is a pale ale that is hoppy, grassy, nicely bitter, and all in all a great pale ale that was left rough around the edges. We really wanted to make a beer that could be left in its natural state to show off how beer really looks and tastes. We call it 16th and F Double Dry Hopped Pale Ale.

Monkey Paw Cornelius Iipa
Double IPA9.6% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Cornelius is an archetypal San Diego IIPA. The beer pours a bright gold with a sticky white head. The aroma explodes out of the glass with pine, orange and grapefruit. The taste follows the nose, with a nice distinct bitterness. A perfect IIPA at 9.6% ABV and 100+ IBUs, with a deceptive, easy to drink side to it.

Monkey Paw Down's Family Irish Stout
Irish Stout5.1% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
The Downs Family Irish Stout is flavorful and robust despite its modest 5.1% ABV. The aroma is full of coffee, chocolate, and roast. The flavor is bold, roasty, and smooth. A black beer with a strong cocoa-tinted head with endless lacing as you drink. The Downs Family Irish Stout was named after the Folk/Punk mainstays of San Diego. A great beer for a great band!
Monkey Paw Dr. Bill's Extra Special Barleywine

Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Monkey Paw Gose Bananas With Tart And Black Cherry
Gose4.8% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Light and tart with a noticeable salty note, this beer is a modern nod to the classic German style. While there is a touch of coriander, don’t expect it to be as forward as the salt. Wheat and a high mash temperature help reserve body in the beer to support the high carbonation and acidic finish. We mix it up a bit with this beer, generally splitting the batch and adding fruit. The original had cherries but following iterations will follow the seasons.
Monkey Paw Howler IPA
American IPA6.7% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Bright, clean, citrus, floral, tropical, dry. Everything a San Diego-style IPA should be. With a liberal addition of Centennial and Meridian hops, you get a good note of orange and pine. The malt takes a back seat in this beer, and really leaves the hops to be the star. An easy to drink, fantastic IPA for every day drinking.

Monkey Paw Live Wire Caramel Coffee Stout
Sweet Stout6.6% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Live Wire is one of the most iconic bars in San Diego. They turned 20 this year, and we made them a beer. Black, with a big tan head that fades into beautiful lacing. The aroma is sweet, caramel, chocolate, and roast. The flavor is caramel, roast, evenly balanced coffee, and a chocolate/caramel finish that all comes with a nice full mouthfeel. The beer was made with 55 pounds of dulce de leche and 5 pounds of select coffee beans from Ryan Brothers.
Monkey Paw Low And Slow Rauchbier
Rauchbier5.4% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Smoke. That's the first, the middle, and the last impression you'll get from our Rauchbier. Low and Slow is in the tradition of German smoked lagers, with a bit of a twist in the cherry wood smoked malt we used. The beer has hints of a nice sweetness that harmonizes throughout the beers flavors and aromas from start to finish. Low and Slow finishes nice and clean, leaving you yearning for more. It is pretty much bacon in a glass, so how can you go wrong?
Monkey Paw Mandrill IPA
American IPA7.3% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Piney, bright, citrusy, and crisp. These are the first things that come to mind when drinking the Mandrill IPA. Looking at the Mandrill will show you a bright gold beer with a lacy white head. The aroma and taste are both swimming with fruit and grass, and a bit of a floral finish. Complex and evenly bitter, the Mandrill IPA is a classic San Diego IPA.
Monkey Paw Mighty Joe Young
American Stout6.0% ABV35 IBU
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
This dark ale is aptly named after Joe from the classic 1949 film. A bold, roasty, dark stout with a bright citrus hop character and a San Diego punch of bitterness evident in the finish. The malt holds up the hops, and roast adds a coffee and chocolate taste that makes this an assertive, full flavored stout.
Monkey Paw Monkey Gose Bananas
Gose4.8% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
K'n'B Wine Cellars was having an anniversary and we were itching to make a unique beer style called a Gose. A rare style not often seen outside of Germany, the Gose is a soured wheat beer with coriander and salt added. Tart, lemony, a little salty, and very refreshing, Monkey Gose Bananas is a great light wheat beer. 3.7% ABV means you can drink this beer all day long. A great beer for the warmer days of summer.

Monkey Paw Oatmeal Pale
American Pale Ale5.4% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
The Oatmeal Pale Ale is sort of an unusual style, and something not often seen in San Diego. Most of our city's beers are dry, crisp, and bitter. This is a mellower pale ale, with a full, supportive body that gives a strong malt presence with a lot of floral and tangerine rind hop flavors to balance it out. Smelling this beer is a treat, with a big oatmeal and citrus aroma. Creamy and smooth, lightly bitter, a beautiful gold with a bright white head and beautiful lacing. Excellent for those who enjoy a more evenly balanced pale.
Monkey Paw Paw/Wendlandt Lets Go Clandestino
American Pale Ale4.9% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Monkey Paw Pineapple X-Press
American IPA6.5% ABV45 IBU
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
A bright and citrusy San Diego session beer regardless of the season. Not too bitter, not too big. The nose is decidedly grassy and tropical. The malt in this beer is not the showcase, but you will get a little hint of a honey sweetness that compliments the overall flavor of the beer. This beer is perfect for those days you want something easy to drink, or to balance out a spicy meal. A great hoppy li'l session ale!

Monkey Paw Rich Man's IIpa
Double IPA8.7% ABV78 IBU
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
All hail the Rich Mans IPA! A bold copper-colored beer with beautiful gold edges, and crowned with a strong white head. The aroma is grassy with a nice orange and malt presence. The mouthfeel is smooth and solid, with malt that backs up the sticky bitterness. The taste is pine, citrus, and a light malt sweetness that all interplays with the alcohol. Hops, hops, hops, and more hops! Occupy a bar stool, the 1% of beers has arrived!

American Porter9.0% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Nothing says the holidays quite like a big, boozy, chocolate, vanilla porter! The vanilla is particularly subtle but there is no escape from the chocolatey goodness! A quintessential dessert beer and a perfect welcome to the winter! Now you finally know why Santa is able to get thru all those chimneys with a smile!

Monkey Paw Thatcher In Rye
Ordinary Bitter4.5% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Thatcher in the Rye is a bitey little session beer with a lot of attitude. At 4.5%, this is truly a session beer, with a good rye kick that finishes nice and bitter. This is what beer should taste like. A hazy golden copper color with a white head that lingers a long time. A great food beer that you can drink all day long.

Monkey Paw Unicorn Hunter W/Ginger
American IPA7.0% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Sometimes it is said that three's a crowd but in this particular beer, three's a complete company. We make a red ale, dry hop it with nelson hops and add some fresh ginger to complete the trio. There is also a small amount of beet juice to provide extra color. Together this beer accomplishes a nice balance of fruity, bread-like, biscuit aroma and flavor with the ginger providing a spicy bite to round out the beer.
Monkey Paw Waypoint 730
American Pale Ale6.2% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Our shout out to Urge Gastropub for their 2012 Anniversary. Waypoint 730 is our summer pale ale w/coriander, orange blossom honey, and lemongrass. We use a traditional english pale malt varietal with a touch of wheat. This gives the ale a medium body mouth feel with a sweet biscuity appeal and wonderful head retention. The spices and hops jump out and compliment the malt providing a wonderful nose which is reminiscent of lemon pound cake or lemon short bread cookie. The finish is crisp and dry! Waypoint 730 San Diego Summer Pale!
Monkey Paw/8 Wired Rhymenoceros Nz Rye Pils
Alternative Grain Beer6.0% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
I'm the motherflippin' Rhymenoceros. Soren from 8 Wired brought a bunch of hops from New Zealand and we made a Rye Pilsner out of them. The beer pours a straw yellow with a strong white head of foam. Smelling it instantly gives you a wave of tropical fruit, guava, mango, and a hint of spice from the rye. Tasting the beer gives you a complimentary flavor to the smell, with light, bready notes that work well with the rye and the fruit and even a hint of pear. The beer finishes with a light, even bitterness that you would expect in a pilsner. Get ready for the wild rhino stampede!
Monkey Paw/Ashton Ivey Sister Nico's Habit
Belgian Pale Ale5.5% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Sister Nico's Habit is named after the cat of our homebrew contest winners Ashton and Beth Ivey. While not everyone is a fan of Nico, we are sure you'll love the beer. We are calling this a Belgian Session Ale. Malty yet dry, smooth, and complex, this beer is a dark amber with a solid tan head. You will tend to pick up dark fruit and hints of flowery aromas on the nose, complimenting the flavor well. A light brown sugar, plum, and biscuit taste linger on your palate and then leave cleanly, not leaving any heavy aftertaste. Lightly bitter and extremely drinkable!
Monkey Paw/Eric Hall Drunken Munkee Saison
Saison8.3% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Eric Hall was one of our two winners of our first homebrew contest. His Drunken Munkee saison is complex, deceptively strong, and delicious. With over 80 pounds of honey, 7 pounds of ginger, and 30 pounds of blood oranges, this recipe required a lot of time and patience with getting the ingredients just right. What we ended up with is a bright, refreshing ginger and orange saison with a lot of character. Candied ginger, bread, orange rind, honey, clove, and spice are all in play in both the aroma and flavor. You can't miss this one!
Monkey Paw/Stillwater Bekantan Saison
Saison5.5% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
A collaboration with Stillwater Brewing, the Bekantan Saison is a dry, crisp, floral, and bitey Farmhouse Ale. Hints of hibiscus interplay well with blackberry and grapefruit. Spelt malt gives it a noticeable spice, while the yeast profile rounds out the beer. Great for a warm summer day.
Monkey Paw/Stone Monkey Stones Black Lager
International Dark Lager7.7% ABV
Monkey Paw BrewerySan Diego, CA
Monkey Stones is a collaboration between Monkey Paw and brewer Jeremy Moynier from Stone Brewing Company. After some discussion, we decided to make a black lager, with a bit of Stone flair. This is a strong, 7.7%, black, toasty beer with attitude. Roast, toasted almonds, and a pine-filled hop aroma are first on the nose. As the beer warms up, you notice a lot of chocolate and orange, with a solid hop bite. The taste is similar, but smooth, hoppy, and delicious. This is not your typical black lager. Do you have the stones to drink it?
