Beer Spotlight : Flannel Season

Flannel Season
Golden Stout

6.7% ABV
25 IBU

Our seasonal Pumpkin Beer is back! But this year we decided to do something completely different! What compliments Pumpkin Spice more than Coffee? With that ideology, “Flannel Season” was born! Our First ever “Golden” Stout here at SBC.

What’s a Golden Stout you might ask? It is a beer that has the taste of a traditional stout but is golden in color. We start off with pounds of Pumpkin Puree, a couple dashes of Cinnamon, a couple dashes of Nutmeg, some Brown Sugar, some more Brown Sugar, and to top it all off we add Coffee into the mix. It is the Pumpkin Spiced Latte of beers.

Cheers!

Our Name Is Rich In History!


1854 – The Solano Brewing Company was founded in 1854 by German immigrant, Charles Widenmann. The brewery gained popularity in the late 19th century and became renowned for its steam beer.

Charles and his brewers produced up to 6,000 barrels a year and had their own Malt House which sat between Georgia and York Street in Vallejo.

1918 – After 64 years of business, production came to a screeching halt when General Order No. 99 (Prohibition in the Navy) was sent out and ultimately forced Charles to shut down Solano Brewing Company in 1918.

After almost a century of dormancy, two Solano County natives, who unearthed the history of SBC, decided to pick up where Charles left off and re-imagined what Solano Brewing Company could become in this exciting new time of Craft Brewing.

2015 – In 2015, Randy Dawson and Sean Bonifacio collaborated with the goal of creating a local, excellent quality beer with hometown roots, the outcome was Solano Brewing Company, LLC.  Fortunately, their paths crossed with Brian Bell and the fun began! Brian is our Head Brewer and has been the Catalyst to making SBC what it is today.

Solano Brewing Company currently brews and operates on a 20-acre parcel of land located at 5500 Weber Road in Vacaville.

Beer Spotlight : Poison Apple


Poison Apple 

Caramel Apple Pop Sour 
7.5% ABV

Trick or Treat, Smell My….well you know the rest! This Halloween inspired sour comes straight out of the plastic Jack O’ Lantern, the pillowcase, the shopping bag, or whatever it is you use on halloween night to stock up on sweet tasty goods.

Our take on the oh so delicious Caramel Apple Pop® lollipop we all grew up with and loved. With the tart of the sour and the apples hitting you right in the front and the sweetness of the caramel coming right after to balance it all out. This sour is a sweet treat delight! So put on your costume, get in the spirit, grab a glass, and let the spooky times fly! Cheers to Halloween!

*No poison was used in the making of this beer.

Cheers!

Beer Spotlight : George Kettle

George Kettle
Hazy IPA
7% ABV
33 IBU

Another new beer means another ode to another influential athlete. Growing up as a kid I was introduced very young to the “Faithful To The Bay” community by my father. Being a fan of the 49ers my whole life and watching the franchise change over the years. I thought what better way to share that than by brewing a beer. That is how “George Kettle” was born. This new single hazy starts off with our usual malt bill that we use in all our hazies. Creating that pillowy fluffy mouthfeel we’ve all grown to love. We then top it off with pounds and pounds of hops! For the hops we wanted to use a variety that we have not used before at SBC, and for that we chose Idaho 7. Idaho 7 brought loads of Tropical, Citrus, Stone Fruit, Melon and Berry notes to this beer that we absolutely loved. But, we didn’t stop there, we kept going. On top of Idaho 7 we went with 2 of our favorites: Strata and Krush. This helped balance out that fruit salad with a little bit of dankness, bubblegum, and grapefruit. So whether you’re yelling at your TV over an unnecessary flag, or you’re slamming wings with friends. Fill your glass, raise a paint, and let’s cheers to the Football Season! 

Cheers!

Beer Spotlight : Kaptain Krush


Kaptain Krush

Hazy IPA
6.5% ABV
32 IBU 

ALL ABOARD!!! Who’s ready for the next voyage over here at SBC? Introducing “Kaptain Krush”, our brand new single hazy! For this one we start with our normal fluffy mouthfeel, that feels like pillows dancing on your tastebuds, and just douse it with an absurd amount of hops. That medley consists of Citra, Mosaic, and Krush (formerly known as HBC 586). Notes of ripe citrus, fresh mixed berries, fresh peach, and guava come together to create an absolute spoonful of flavor. Like that very first bite of your favorite cereal, down to the milk at the end of the bowl, this beer is flavorful throughout! So get your ticket, hop on board, grab a pint, and set sail on this juice ship!

Cheers!

Beer Spotlight Kiwi Clouds


Kiwi Clouds
 
Hazy IPA 
6.6% ABV
36 IBU

Kiwi a slang term for a New Zealand native. That mixed with the meaning of New Zealand in their native Māori language. "Land of the Long White Cloud". Is how the name Kiwi Clouds was born. For this beer we take 2 of the tastiest NZ hops on the market today. Nectaron and Nelson Sauvin. But we didn’t stop there. We wanted to mix it up a bit and throw a hop that is new to the scene. And for that we chose HBC 1019. The result is a layered hazy like none we have made before. You get the over ripened peach, that turns into citrus, that melts into candy and coconut, that then dissipates into a world of weed and dankness. All of that followed by its rich, full, and creamy mouthfeel makes this hazy, as the NZ folk would say, “Sweet As!”

Cheers!

Island Times

Island Times

Tropical IPA
7% ABV 58 IBU

What's a Tropical IPA you might say? An IPA inspired by all the wonderful fruits from the Tropics. But without adding any actual fruit to the beer. All the fruit characteristics are derived from the delicious hops we used. Citra for the citrus undertone, El Dorado for the Pineapple & Papaya, and Sabro for that creamy and full Coconut mouthfeel. So sit back, slow down, and enjoy the Island Times!

Cheers!

SMaSH Bandicoot Citra Cryo


SMaSH Bandicoot
Citra Cryo

West Coast IPA
6.3% ABV 
22 IBU

The third in our SMaSh (Single Malt and Single Hop) Series. We decided to go completely new school! We used trusty ol' 2 Row and 100% Citra Cryo Hops. One of the world's most favorite hops in a new highly concentrated hop pellet! What more could you want? And instead of the classic Dry Hopping Method we went with a new Method called Knockout Hops. Meaning, we run the beer onto the hops in the fermenter and then let them coexist with the yeast during fermentation. Citra really got to be the star of this beer. Enjoy the notes Citrus, Tropical Fruits, and Papaya!

Cheers!
