From our rich tradition of local brewers and the old favorite ones - 100% Local Bay Area/NorCal breweries
Lagers & Pilsners
-
Diablo Lager
Mexican Lager, Devil's Canyon, San Carlos, 4.8% A crisp, pale lager brewed with a touch of flaked maize.
-
Mexicanita
Mexican Lager, Del Cielo, Martinez, 5.0%. House Mexican Lager. This traditional Mexican style beer celebrates Hispanic heritage with its light body and crisp finish. We used Saaz hops for a soft bitterness that brings an aroma of herbs and spice
-
Chismosa
Mexican Amber Lager, Old Caz, Santa Rosa, 5.3% The year is 2012, and we had just finished working 2 weeks in the sweltering Coachella Valley. Upon finishing, we sat down, ordered a Negra Modelo, and became so satiated by the beverage that we swore then and there to one day brew a beer that could remind us of that glorious moment. Chismosa is a malt focused, clean, and crushable Mexican Amber Lager, and it’s name comes from the Spanish word Chisme, or, to gossip. Style: Mexican Amber Lager Specs: 5.8% ABV; 23 IBUs Hops: Cascade, Hallertau Grain: 2-row, Flaked corn
-
Snapshot
American Lager, Morgan Territory, Tracy, 4.9% A Malt Driven Beer: An American original, American Lagers were first brewed following prohibition and World War 2. These lagers were popular because of the light favors achieved by supplementing traditional barley with rice and corn. The resulting beers became very popular for their crisp, refreshing qualities and lower alcohol. Our interpretation follows that intent but utilizes a modern hop, Callista, to bring a floral/citrus quality to the beer. It’s light-bodied with elevated carbonation.
-
Temescal Pilsner
German Pilsner, Temescal, Oakland, 5.1% "Temescal Pils" is the result of two years of Pilsner experimentation: a 5.0% Pilsner that's soft, aromatic, flavorful, and doesn't adhere to traditional styles. Hop forward but not out of balance in any one way. We haven't previously committed to always offering any one beer, but we love this recipe so much and want to make it more widely available. A crisp and refreshing Pilsner that simultaneously pleases both the “beer-flavored beer” seeking consumer and the pedantic beer connoisseur (2018 GABF competition finalist).
-
Just A Smidgen
West Coast (Hoppy) Pilsner. Original Pattern. Oakland 5.0% Introducing our newest Hoppy Lager, Just A Smidgen! An American hoppy lager teaming with notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, berry, and followed by a balanced hoppy finish. Mosaic, Amarillo and Citra hops.
ALES
-
The Penske Files
West Coast Pale Ale, Faction, Alameda. 5.8% Pale ale dry hopped with Mosaic & Ekuanot. Faction Brewstaff favorite!
-
Stoked!
Hazy Pale Ale, Henhouse, Petaluma, 5.9% Stoked Pale Ale is our rotating hop pale ale, each batch is made with a new blend of one or two hops, allowing us to experiment with new hops and processes. Each batch has the same malt and yeast profile, letting the subtle differences between hops shine through. Citra is fronting like lychee lychee, passion passion, dank dank, plum! Always a house favorite!
-
Not Velvet, But Cashmere
Hazy IPA, Original Pattern, Oakland, 6.8% It doesn't get much smoother, more luxurious, than this buttery IPA. Unlike most of our hazys, we utilize a cool whirlpool for this brew to focus the juiciness as much as possible while at the same time reducing bitterness. Brewed with Cashmere, Citra, and Strata hops, snuggle up for notes of lime zest, fresh cut melon, and a surprisingly light body.
-
Citra Dreams
Hazy IPA, New Glory, Sacramento. 6.8% This Hazy IPA is, simply put, our love letter to Citra hops. We use 100% Citra in various and peculiar ways throughout the brewing process to get as much delicious flavor and complexity as possible. Utilizing a flavorful blend of Thomas Fawcett Pearl, rolled oats, and flaked wheat, we charge this brew during the boil, the whirlpool, fermentation, and secondary dry hop. You’ll enjoy layer upon layer of fresh papaya, pineapple juice, rock sugar, and overripe tropical fruit, all backed by a smattering of bright citrus.
-
Separation Anxiety
West Coast IPA, Berryessa, Winters. 6.8% This bright ultra floral IPA showcases Mosaic hops from Yakima Valley,WA. Simplicity at its finest.
-
Mai Tai PA
West Coast IPA. Alvarado Street, Monterey, 6.9% Three time GABF medal winner, including gold in 2018! Our drier, decidedly “tropical” IPA that’s light on bitterness, but heavy on hop aroma, courtesy of 100% Mosaic hops. One whiff and you get super intense notes of passion fruit, mango, and lychee.
-
Don Laco
House rotated Hazy IPA. Del Cielo. Martinez. 7.0% Don Laco is a family name here at 5 Tacos and in the Saldana family. We honor his name and memory with this weekly changed beer.
-
Very Best Bad Things
Hazy Double IIPA, Barebottle, San Francisco, 8.6% Our jet propulsion fermentory is ready for launch, armed with 7 lbs/barrel of hops, and Citra is the main event on our horizon. 3, 2, 1...
-
Hella Hoppy
West Coast Double IIPA. Berryessa. Winters. 9.0% A huge DANKY-RESINOUS double IPA for those extreme hop heads. With four plus pounds of hops per bbl of beer, the hop aroma and flavor are sticky on both the nose and palate. A simple malt bill, a touch of crystal malt, and brewed using the ‘hop bursting’ technique; this beer truly is a West Coast style hop bomb.
Dark Beers
-
Venti Is Large
Coffee Stout, Hop Dogma, Half Moon Bay. 7.2% Stout brewed with Catahoula coffee and vanilla. 2x Great American Beer Festival winner. US Open Champion. CA State Fair Blue Ribbon.
-

American Porter, Barrel Brothers, Windsor. 7% "A Dark beer for people who don't like dark beers."Dark Sarcasm is loaded with notes of chocolate, mocha and vanilla. The finish is surprisingly smooth for a full flavored dark beer!
-
East Bay Nights

Notes of coffee and roast with enough German noble hops to round out the malt profile. 5.3% ABV.
Wheat Ales
-
Hell Or High Watermelon
Wheat Ale W/ Watermelon. 21st Amendment. San Francisco. 4.9% Like Lady Liberty, we stand for independence and perseverance. In the pursuit of innovative beer, there is no obstacle too great. No journey too long. No fruit too gigantic. This American wheat beer is brewed with real watermelon, for a flavor that’s surprisingly crisp, dry and refreshing—it’s summer in a can! Hell or High Watermelon Wheat is our summer seasonal beer available from April through September in six pack cans and on draft. We start by brewing a classic American wheat beer, then add fresh melons for a straw-colored, delicious beer with a kiss of watermelon aroma and flavor.
Belgian
-
Irreverent Wit
Belgian Witbier, Laughing Monk, San Francisco. 5.4% Irreverent Wit is a fresh, enlightening example of a Belgian classic. As soon as you draw in this effervescent and creamy, Belgian-style White Ale, you will be transported to a golden sea of tall, dry wheat moving in the wind. This beer is perfectly balanced with subtle flavors of banana and bread, accented by the black peppercorn on the tip of your tongue and finishing with light notes of spice and a dry, yeast character.
-
Happy Camper
Saison, Oakland United, Oakland, 6.0% Whether you get a rush out of extreme cliff camping or are an inveterate fan of glamping, you are included under our tent as a "Happy Camper"! Saisons, refreshing and approachable even to non-beer drinkers, are a perfect accompaniment to grilling, toasting, napping, fishing or whatever your favorite pastime is. This pale and refreshing, classic beer style is dry and mildly bitter, highlighting the expressive yeast character that's citrusy, spicy, and not overly phenolic.
Sours
-
Peach
Sour Ale With Peach, Laughing Monk, San Francisco, 5.0% Peach is an 8-bit sipper that will captivate your taste buds. Additions of peach purée delicately provide the base of this fruited kettle sour, providing a mild acidity that gently rolls over your taste buds in this light, easy-drinking kettle sour. Accompanied by the aromas of summertime and hours spent at the arcade, this kettle sour is perfectly peachy.
-
Buglet
Kettle Sour with Blackberry and Raspberry, Original Pattern, Oakland, 5.5% We love experimenting with out-of-the-box fruit combinations when it comes to sour ales. We went 50/50 with passionfruit and blackberries to create a super tart, mega-fruity concoction that is dynamic and delicious.
