Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout
Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout.
Barney Flats is the Boontling name for Hendy Woods State Park, a deep redwood forrest with a tree canopy so thick it can seem like nighttime at high noon.
It is no wonder that Anderson Valley Brewing Company named its deep, rich, dark oatmeal stout after Barney Flats. Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout is full-bodied with a decadent mocha character and smooth mouthfeel balanced by a subtle hop bite. Near and dear to our hearts, Barney Flats was our first gold medal winner in 1990, but recently took bronze at the 2010 World Beer Cup.
Great on its own or as the perfect desert beer. Pair with chocolate and you’ll never have anything else.
As with all of our products, Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout is never sterile filtered nor heat pasteurized.
Style: Oatmeal Stout
Availability: 12 oz bottles, Draft
5.7% ABV, 13 IBU

Anderson Valley Imperial IPA
Anderson Valley Imperial IPA.
The Imperial IPA was first created in honor of our second decade producing some of the finest beers in the world. This over-the-top brew is loaded with excessive amounts of malts to balance 20 separate additions of the finest Pacific Northwest hops to create what the late beer critic William Brand described as “The kind of beer that made California craft beer famous”.
As with all of our products, Anniversary Imperial IPA is never sterile filtered nor heat pasteurized.

Anderson Valley Summer Solstice
Anderson Valley Summer Solstice Seasonal Ale.
Summer Solstice Seasonal Ale is not just your average summer seasonal. This unique copper colored ale is smooth, malty, and lightly sweet, with a delicate hint of spice for that oh-so-drinkable, extra velvety flavor.
As with all of our products, Summer Solstice Seasonal Ale is never sterile filtered nor heat pasteurized.
5% ABV, 4 IBU
Anderson Valley Hop Ottin’ IPA
Anderson Valley Hop Ottin’ IPA
Hop Ottin’ IPA is, just like Anderson Valley itself, easy for anyone to appreciate while offering depth and complexity for those who take the time to savor. Brilliant copper color with a lingering, lacy white head. The nose sings of grapefruit, pine needles, citron, roses, and bergamot. The flavor is rich in the citrusy, resiny flavors typical of the Pacific-Northwest hops packed into this beer, balanced artfully with a solid malt character and crisp bitterness leading to a beautifully dry, light herbal finish. More than just a hop lover’s dream, Hop Ottin’ IPA is a balanced beer for the ages.
As with all of our products, Hop Ottin’ IPA is never sterile filtered nor heat pasteurized.
Style: IPA
Availability: 12 oz bottles, cans. Draft

Anderson Valley Boont Amber
Anderson Valley Boont Amber.
From deep in the Anderson Valley comes the world-famous, award-winning, crowd-pleasing Boont Amber Ale. The Anderson Valley Brewing Company has been hand crafting this amazing ale for over twenty years, making Boont Amber Ale one of the most respected, enjoyed, and sought-after craft beers of all time. Boont Amber Ale is an ode to balance, with a deep copper color offset by an off-white head. The slightly sweet malty backbone is balanced perfectly with a subtle hop bite and aroma, and a wonderfully fruity yeast profile. Named “the best beer brewed in Northern California,” by the San Francisco Bay Guardian, a beer like this is perfect with any meal, and is enjoyed night-after-night, all year round. As with all of our products, Boont Amber Ale is never sterile filtered nor heat pasteurized.
Style: Amber Ale
