We have Santa’s Little Helpers A.K.A. “Bottle Logic” coming through with an AMAZING line-up of craft treats! 

Check out the specialties Bottle Logic will be bringing to The Iron Press Anaheim on Tuesday...

 

714
Blonde, 4.3% ABV
The answer to every non-beer drinkers’ prayers. An approachable, malt-oriented American beer that is well-balanced and great for easy-drinking.

SHE SHOT FIRST
Pale Wheat Ale, 4.7% ABV
Bottle Logic’s twist on the American Pale Ale. Brewed with generous amounts of malted wheat and Pacific Northwest hops. This particular combination produces enormous flavors and aromas of citrus, while still coming in at a sessionable ABV.

LAGERITHM
American Dark Lager, 4.8% ABV
This beer is not only delicious, it’s also a 2 time GABF Gold Medal Winner!! It has upfront notes of malt and coffee and then finishes with the crispness of a lager. It’s almost a paradox of flavor!

JOULE THIEF
American Krystalweizen, 5% ABV
Sweet, malty and balanced with aroma of  Belgian spice,  lemon peel, and white pepper. It’s refreshing and has a nice spicy bite to it.

GREYHOUND
American IPA, 5.2% ABV
A classic West Coast IPA with fresh grapefruit juice and zest that is so upfront and refreshing, you can easily get in trouble with this delicious beer.  It’s like beer-juice!

BERLINEAR EQUATION (with boysenberry & raspberry)
Berliner Weisse, 5.8% ABV
A very pale wheat beer low in alcohol with light bread and clean lactic sour flavors. This version is brewed with a copious amount of boysenberries and raspberries.

BERLINEAR EQUATION (with cherries)
Berliner Weisse, 5.8% ABV

A very pale wheat beer low in alcohol with light bread and clean lactic sour flavors. This variation has the tartness and sweetness of delicious cherries.

RECURSION
American IPA, 6.5% ABV

This nice refreshing take on the American IPA is filled with bright citrus zest and herbal notes. A mild hop bitterness makes for a crisp easy drinking hop juice.

TATTERED PRINCE
Saison, 7.3% ABV
This traditional Saison is brewed with new world ingredients including Sorachi Ace hops, fresh ground ginger, coriander, and orange peel, then fermented with an authentic French farmhouse yeast. Tattered Prince takes the standard Saison and adds citrus and spice complexity.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE STOUT on NITRO
Sweet Stout, 7.5% ABV
A very dark, full-bodied stout with creamy notes that soften its roasted, coffee-flavored qualities. It literally tastes like cake in liquid form.

ABBEY 101
Belgian Dubbel, 7.5% ABV
A quintessential Belgian with extraordinary flavor. A moderately strong Trappist ale with rich malty flavors and a color of reddish-copper.

PASSIONATE DRAGON
Saison, 8.4% ABV
This collaboration between Bottle Logic and Arizona Wilderness, this Saison is packed with Passion Fruit, Dragon Fruit, & Centennial Kumquats aged in Red & White Wine Barrels.

TRIPEL POINT
Belgian Tripel, 8.6% ABV
A strong and pale Trappist ale with spicy-fruity notes and highly aromatic.

GLOUG GLOUG GLOUG
Belgian Ale, 9% ABV
A varying Belgian style with fruit and spice notes and good carbonation. This spiced Belgian screams, “Holidays!”.

DARK STAR
Imperial Stout, 13.7% ABV
This dark rich cocoa imperial stout is not only velvety and silky smooth, it’s also aged in Buffalo Trace barrels. Giving this already delicious stout even more depth of flavor with hints of caramel and vanilla.  Brewed with molasses and rye, it complex and delicious!    

So, throw on your ugly Christmas sweater and grab your mistletoe (Seriously, all of us are wearing our ugly Christmas sweaters!) and come let The Iron Press Anaheim deck your halls! Also, Bottle Logic is bringing some INSANE raffle prizes for us to GIVEAWAY that night to a couple lucky customers! And of course the Grand Master Spinner of Yuletide Tunes will be in the house… DJ Lex will keep us rockin’ around the beer tower… Oops!  I mean, “Christmas Tree”, all night long! Don't miss this night of craft beer and merriment!!

 

Smoochies,
The Iron Press Crew

One last reminder…

This Tuesday, November 25th, 2015 A.D., we are hosting some of Colorado's finest - Avery Brewing! 
Check out the food specials we've prepared for you all...

DINNER SPECIAL:
THE PRESS PILGRIM
This dinner will have you giving THANKS... to our awesome kitchen! We are huge fans of the holiday season and even bigger fans of Avery's Raja Double IPA. We wanted a dinner special that not only had Fall flavors, but would pair well with an amazing beer! It starts out with a Kurobota pork stuffing waffle (Yup, we're putting the stuffing right into the waffle press). Then, we add a heaping mound of our buttery mashed potatoes, carved turkey, brown gravy made from scratch and some greens for good measure. This yummy waffle sandwich comes with a side of cranberry sauce for a savory dish that screams "Thanksgiving"!


DESSERT SPECIAL:
OH MY GOURD BECKY!
It wouldn't be Thanksgiving time without some sweet squashy delicious-ness! We took our famous Cinnamon Toast Crunch Waffle and pumpkin pied it! That's right, on top of it sits a nice big scoop of housemade pumpkin pie ice cream, a drizzle of our leche syrup, and then a dusting of a little extra cinnamon sugar, because let's face it -- more IS better during the holiday season.


Between the great food and Avery's finest brews, this is definitely not an event you want to miss. Plus, Dj Lexakhan will be here, rocking the tunes we all love. Come on by and get your self ready for your week that will be jammed packed with in-laws, turkey comas and your annoying cousins going through your fridge and drinking all your beers!

Smoochies,
The Iron Press Crew

HOLY HOPS!
The full beer lineup for our Tap Takeover with El Segundo Brewing Co. is here!! ...and it's truly hop-tastic. See you all on Tuesday, November 10th at The Iron Press Costa Mesa from 5PM-10PM. Cheers beer nerds!

CITRA PALE
Pale Ale, 5.5% ABV
A straightforward and balanced American Pale. Then we add an insane amount of Citra for a double dry hop. A hop monster with a whole lot of citrus aroma up in yo face! Our pale is perfect pedestal to showcase the absolutely fantastic flower.
 

WET HOPPED SIMCOE PALE
American Pale Ale, 5.5% ABV
Crisp perfection! The fresh Simcoe hops are only available once a year so this guy is beyond specialty.

WHITE DOG IPA
IPA, 6.7% ABV
We use of 50% wheat instead of barley in this beer, but this beer has very little in common with “wheat” beer. Light mouthfeel, with bright citrus and grassy New Zealand hop notes. An IPA that Hop Heads will love.
 

STATION NO.1 RED
American Red, 6.7% ABV
Layers of malt provide notes of bread, toast, biscuit and light caramel. Deep mahogany tones.. and believe it or not, this one is NOT Hoppy. I know… shocker, but this mellow malt forward beer is a fabulous anytime brew, approachable for all those who are a bit shy of hops and bitterness.
 

BLUE HOUSE IPA
American IPA, 7% ABV
Full bodied, with a deep amber tone. While a slight departure from “West Coast IPA” in color, the beer’s dry finish and huge hop aroma keep it well within the style. Bright tropical fruit and pine notes dominate, and pair well with a touch of malt backbone. 


MAYBERRY IPA
Specialty IPA, 7.2% ABV
Mosaic hops take center stage in this outrageously fruity IPA. Mandarin orange and kiwi marry well with tropical notes of guava and ripe mango. 
 

WET HOPPED MAYBERRY IPA
IPA, 7.2% ABV
Single IPA using Mosaic fresh hops. We took our standard Mayberry IPA and subbed FRESH MOSAIC HOPS for this one.
 

HYPERION'S CASK
Specialty Cask, 7.8%
Our Hyperion's Double Vanilla Stout with the addition of Coconut and Coffee, barreled up and ready for your guzzling pleasure.
 

SMOKY HOLLOW
Scotch Ale, 8.1% ABV
This seasonal ale is bready, malty and has a mellow caramel character. Flavors of earth and smoke evocative of the great Scotch whiskeys of Islay in our Scotch Ale.
 

TWO-5-LEFT DIPA
Double IPA, 8.2% ABV
Hopped with Simcoe, Citra, Cascade and Chinook. A brazenly hop forward beast of a beer with a huge passionfruit nose. Subtle caramel characters provide a malt backbone to shoulder a massive amount of dry hopping that gives this beer its unique flavor and aroma.


HAMMERLAND 
DIPA, 8.6% ABV
Named after the infamous surf spot in the South Bay situated between El Segundo and El Porto known for awesome local breaks! A sleek and deceptive Double IPA filled with flavors of Blueberries and overall super dankness!


DEVIL'S PATH
Imperial Red, 8.9% ABV
Like a big brother to Station No.1 and all hopped up. Simcoe, Centenniel and Amarillo pack a 1-2-3 punch and give a bright fruity pop to the bready malt driven base. This is only the second time this guy's been released, so definitely grab a pour before it's gone! 
 

CITRAMONGOUS: WET HOPPED CITRA DIPA
Double IPA, 9% ABV
Fresh Citra hops galore!! DO NOT skip this incredible double IPA.
