The Brewery at Abigaile’s new brewmaster Paul Papantonio who has brewed in Colorado for Oskar Blues and San Diego for St. Archer has taken on the task of putting his stamp on the operation in Hermosa Beach. And for those planning a trip to the South Bay, here are some of the beers that you might see on tap with descriptions from the brewery….
§ Vienna Lager 4.6% ß Papantonio achieves an amber lager by using darker malts and more hops than the average amber lager
§ Midnight Mass Black IPA 5.6% ß made with roasted malt, this brew lies somewhere between an IPA and a pale ale
§ Palm Porter 6.5% ß made with lager yeast, Papantonio will experiment with one-off kegs of this beer combined with ingredients such as coffee and coconut
§ Jam Session Pilsner 4.8% ß the most recent addition to the lineup is a straightforward German pilsner
§ Punchbowl IPA 8% ß Papantonio uses an eclectic blend of unique hops (including Pacific and Wakatu hops from New Zealand) to create one of the most popular beers at Abigaile
There is also a special R+D (small batch beers) menu which will change but recently had the following on tap:
§ Doppio Cappuccino Porter 6.5%
§ Zest Fest Black IPA 5.6%
