Mendocino  Brews

Mendocino Brewing Company is renowned for brewing a range of full-bodied beers. And we agree with the major European cultures to whom beer is a way of life and that beer is food. Beers offer all the goodness of whole grains, are totally devoid of preservatives, and taste wonderful. While our brews are excellent on their own, we often recommend that they be served as an accompaniment to food - One taste sensation, heightening the other! This does not mean however, that flavors necessarily have to match. More often than not, it is opposites that attract, and this fusion creates excitement in its diversity! The more complex the flavor profile of the beer, the more interesting the possible match-ups.

Like good wine, Red Tail Ale is a perfect complement to fine dining.  tell me more...

Red Tail Lager
The Legend Grows - A new member to the Red Tail Family! Lighter in body than our Red Tail Ale, Red Tail Lager is fermented at low temperatures using our traditional lager yeast. “It took 21 years to make a lager worthy of the Red Tail name. Red Tail Lager delivers a rich refreshing flavor with a smooth light feel and a clean and crisp sweet finish.” Red Tail Lager is naturally hand-crafted, using only the finest ingredients: barley malt, yeast, hops, and water, resulting in a Lager Lover’s Delight! tell me more...

Eye of the Hawk
An excellent, strong, rich bodied ale that is "Bottle Conditioned" to perfection. "Eye" is coppery reddish-amber in color and its unique taste is the result of a judicious mix of caramel and pale malted barley, balanced with Cluster, Cascade and Saaz hops. This gives the Eye its luxurious flavor, substantial mouth-feel and that slightly dry finish. Eye of the Hawk has garnered a cult following that is enviable.  tell me more...

Blue Heron Pale Ale
A delightful, medium bodied smooth ale, with a distinctive crisp mouth-feel and a fresh hoppy finish. It is brewed using premium two-row Pale malted barley, generous amounts of both Cluster bittering hops and Cascade finishing hops and our own special proprietary yeast strain. Blue Heron Pale Ale is "Bottle Conditioned."  tell me more...

Black Hawk Stout
Retains the big traditional flavors of an Irish-style stout and yet offers a refreshing dry crispness that is rare in many dark beers. "Bottle Conditioned" Black Hawk Stout is replete with a rich, roasted malt flavor that makes this not-so-heavy stout, creamy and ever so smooth. It has a subtlety that surprises and converts even the most reticent stout drinker.  tell me more...

White Hawk Select IPA
A traditional IPA . We’ve blended American West Coast Cascade Hops with a very generous dose of English Fuggle Hops. This combination makes for a very aromatic character, as well as a truly authentic English flavor which you must taste to believe. “Hopheads” will love this brew!  tell me more...
