It dates to Gold Rush California, where brewers fermented lager yeast at warm cellar temperatures because ice was scarce, producing a hybrid that drinks like a lager with a touch of ale-like fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe signature is Northern Brewer hops, woody and faintly minty, set against a toasty amber malt base. It pours clear copper with a bitterness more pronounced than the modest strength suggests. Fermented cool with lager yeast, it comes out crisp and clean, a distinctly Californian everyday beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour California Common recipe kit includes everything below, portioned and ready to brew.
