One of our favorite Barrel-Aged releases is here! After months of slumbering in bourbon barrels, we took this exceptional stout and harmoniously blended it with the distinct, chocolatey richness of Vietnamese coffee. We traditionally brew gallons of Vietnamese coffee with a phin-style filter that gently percolates water through ground coffee. The result is a chocolatey and bold-tasting coffee that perfectly complements the notes of oak, vanilla, and bourbon barrel in this massive barrel-aged stout, a true AleSmith legend.

Available now in on draft and in 16oz cans in our Tasting Room with cans available online for California shipping. Distribution will be available throughout Southern California, Arizona, and Minnesota throughout the new few weeks. Don't miss out on this special release!

Exciting update! The Tony Gwynn Mural by Ground Floor Murals at Mandarin House in La Jolla is now complete—it turned out amazing and we recommend you check it out in person.

Meanwhile, the second mural for this year's Mr. Padre release is currently taking shape at Bottle Rocket downtown and is set for completion this week. Witnessing the dedication and skill behind each mural by Paul and Signe from Ground Floor Murals has been truly remarkable.

Both of these murals will be showcased on the labels of our upcoming Mr. Padre 2000th and Mr. Padre 3000th beers, set for launch on August 3rd during Tony Gwynn Day at the brewery. This special release pays tribute to Tony's remarkable feat of achieving his 2000th and 3000th career hits on the same historic day in 1993 and 1999.

Happy Father's Day to all of the amazing dads out there! 🍻

For more information 👉️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/san-diego-vegan-night-market-tickets-901133152517

Just a heads up that vendors will be setup in a portion of our parking lot. For additional parking, we recommend carpooling, ride sharing, and parking on Trade Street near the brewery.

On this day, 10 years ago, .394 San Diego Pale Ale debuted at the Padres Beerfest at Petco Park. To this day, that beer holds a record for how quickly a half barrel could be enjoyed at one of these festivals, and we went through three of them in about 40 minutes.

Thank you for the continued support of AleSmith and .394. When you drink .394, you're tasting a beer that Mr. Padre dreamt up and a beer that Mr. Padre was proud of.

Tony Gwynn was involved at every step of the process from the first batch to the final recipe you taste today, and .394 Pale Ale being brewed WITH Tony, and not just in memory of Tony is something we're proud of.

Thank you to our incredible fans for sharing your memories and moments by tagging us!
