No Chew Needed - Hazy IPA with Simcoe, Rakau, and Maui Nelson Hop Kief 7.2% ABV 

This was a fun one to make and our new brewhouse is really starting to shine with this one. Brewed with mountains of malted oats, a healthy dose of Simcoe + Rakau was finished with an experimental Maui Nelson hop kief from our friends @freestylehops. Layered with lots of fun tropical citrus goodness, it’s probably our juiciest hazy to date, it’s straight juice! 

On draft and in 4-packs in the taproom! Get it while ya can!

TAXES AND FEES

Can Art for Taxes and Fees. West Coast IPA. Minimal Roller Coaster illustration with green red blue and yellow colors. Roller coaster going up down and all around!

REPRESENTATION FOR ALL THAT TAXATION! 

Taxes and Fees - West Coast IPA with Citra and Mosaic 6.8% ABV

We realized that in the 5 years of Ambitious we have never done the classic combo of only Citra and Mosaic in a west coast, so we went big with this one to make sure it really stood out! Brewed with Citra T90 and Citra Dynaboost in the whirlpool and dry hopped extensively with Citra and Mosaic. Intensely aromatic with a huge punch of fresh dankness, citrus and resin! A true homage to the classic west coast style! 

Available on draft and 4-packs to-go today!

MANGO SUMAN

Mango Suman can art. Suman inspired abstract geometric art. Bright green and white color palette gives this can a refreshing pop!

@ambitiousales 🤝 @harlandbeer

Mango Suman - Rice Lager with Mango and Coconut 🍚🥭🥥 5.8% ABV.

Brewed with rice + raw coconut in the mash then conditioned on toasted coconut + mango puree post fermentation. Full bodied, subtle fruit with a crispy finish. Mango, Coconut & Vanilla on the nose with some notes of Honey & Papaya on the palette. VERY NICE!

Honored to be a part of @harlandbeer’s Celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander month. They collaborated with 4 breweries of AAPI influence and plan to drop 4 releases this month with each participating brewery. Be sure to keep a look out for all of their releases!

We did a home and away collab of two different beers (1 brewed here in Long Beach, and a different beer brewed in San Diego to be released later this month) It was super duper fun hangin with Aaron, Jake and Jasper talking shop, adjuncts, golf, life, travel and everything in between. Thats what collabs are all about!  

Mango Suman will be available Today on draft and 4-packs to go while supplies last! Happy Friday, we open at noon, See y’all soon!

Can artwork for I’m Riwakin Here. West coast IPA with Riwaka, Waimea, and NZ Cascade. 6.8% ABV. Illustration of giant legs walking over New York City. View from below their shoe with multiple people squished underneath. Blue and Orange color palette.

HEY! IM WALKIN HERE!!!

What happens when you’re watching Midnight Cowboy while thinking of names for our newest beer!?

I’m Riwakin Here! - Double Dry Hopped West Coast IPA with Riwaka, Waimea and NZ Cascade 6.8% ABV

We seriously packed this west coast with an insane amount of New Zealand’s finest @freestylehops, especially some really nice Riwaka that we don’t get to use often! This is just boomin with a huge tropical and citrus punch along with some very piney and resinous dank aromatics! We’re loving it!

Available on draft and in 4-packs!

UBE BAY

Ube Bay poured into a glass. Light purple foam overflowing from glass. High angle looking down at glass and can with dramatic lighting.

UBE BAY

It’s back!! Conditioned with Toasted Coconut, Madagascar Vanilla Bean & Ube Halaya from @sanandwolvesbakeshop - 6% ABV ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

We’re extremely stoked on the outcome of this batch. We reached out to the fine folks of @sanandwolvesbakeshop and got our hands on their house made vegan Ube Halaya.

The heck is Ube Halaya? Essentially it’s a thick n sticky jam like puree made from mashed purple yam, coconut milk and some other top secret ingredients.

Infusing Ube Bay with their Halaya enhanced the aromatics with layers of marshmallow and candied nuts, adding more depth, body and flavors of coconut and creamy vanilla.

Available on draft and in 4-packs!
