If you think low alcohol equals low taste, think again. We made a hardcore beer & left the alcohol out. Nanny State breaks the curfew & slips under the radar. A brigade of speciality malts & North American hops sends bitterness to the brink & back. Squeezing this many hops in, & the alcohol out, is a testament to our craft. Nanny State
- no compromise, no surrender, no alcohol. Malts: Amber, Chocolate, Crystal, Dark Crystal, Munich, Rye, Wheat, Caramalt. Hops: Ahtanum, Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, Columbus, Simcoe.

Tropical fruits & light caramel on the nose. The palate soon becomes assertive & resinous with the New Zealand hops balanced by the biscuit malt. ...

Our approach to chardonnay is one of exacting precision & restriction of embellishment. The fruit & subsequent wine is raised in a stoic fashion void of any unnecessary interpretation. The objective is to exhibit site character in the most lucid & transparent way possible without the distraction of any extraneous intervention that would callously be imposed in the cellar. With the goal of expressing a comprehensive expression of the appellation, we selected five unique vineyard sites to create this Sta. Rita Hills bottling. This blend is comprised of Mount Carmel, 3-D, Gnesa, Sea Smoke & Zotovich. While each lot is handled separately & in a completely uniform fashion in the winery, each contributes vastly different expressions which ultimately harmonize in the finished wine. Rich aromas of lemon, kiwi, orange blossom & sweet basil are followed by a more precise flavor profile of jasmine, lime & ginger. Extremely taut, focused & dry palate impression. ...

Stems play a vital role in our pinot noir where we view their involvement as not something added to the equation but simply something that has not been removed. They are an integral part of each cluster, much like the role played by a skeleton to its attached flesh & help to provide architecture to the finished wine. Whole cluster fermentation also helps to complement the inherent spherical tendencies of our appellation towards a more Cartesian end point. This bottling is comprised of 100% estate pinot noir from three vineyards within the AVA. Mount Carmel, 3-D & Machado all contribute to the wine which exhibits a drive, richness & pedigree expressive of our special growing area coupled with the purity of fruit & firm structure which have been the trademark of Brewer
- Clifton. Pomegranate, anise, & Pu-erh tea aromatics set the stage for the flavours of dried cherries, dried wild mushroom & baker’s cocoa flavors that follow. Tender & cohesive in the mouth with a very firm & savoury palate impression & finish. 1661 cases produced

Clear & bright in the glass, the subtle notes of juniper come to the fore as you swirl, releasing sweet-scented fresh citrus & a touch of spice. The persistent hints of orange make this gin gentle & approachable. Brighton Gin, whose other botanicals include angelica, lime & milk thistle (well-known for cleansing the liver
- helping you to detox as you tox, so to speak), makes a deeply refreshing G&T
- in which instance, we recommend serving it with a slice of orange to bring the fresh orange peel botanical to the fore. Versatile & adaptable, Brighton Gin also works brilliantly as a Martini & is exceptional as part of a Negroni. This is a subtle, ruminative gin &, thanks to its softness, Brighton Gin is also delicious sipped neat, over ice with a slice of orange.

A delicious liqueur, of deepest blue. This is made with the dried peel of bitter Curacao oranges & coloured for blue cocktails. ...

This small red fruit is extremely delicate & should be handled with great care. Picked by the Romans for its therapeutic virtues, wild strawberries spread through Europe during the 17th century. Creme a la Fraise des Bois is produced according to the traditional maceration process, followed by a harmonious blend of different varieties which restore its typicity, in an extraordinary powerful & fine flavour. Pure or mixed with white wines, cremant or champagne, it guarantees the very best cocktails. ...

Apricots come from China & arrived in central Europe via the Caspian Sea. This round-shaped fruit with its velvety skin (when it is ripe) is orange yellow or red. Put to macerate in alcohol, the apricot with its huge gustative qualities, swollen with sugar & sunshine, having reached full maturity, impregnates the alcoholic liquid with its delicious & refreshing flavour, perfectly restored after adding a small quantity of sugar. Creme d' Abricot is served well-chilled as a digestif, or can be served as a perfect addition to a number of cocktails. ...

The bananas, whose pulp is macerated in alcohol, are of the Canaries variety from Costa Rica. As a digestif or in a mixture, Creme de Banane brings charm & exoticism. ...
