Short Sands
Floral and fruity, malty and toasty, with the barest touch of malt sweetness: Short Sands is a Helles Lager at 4.8% ABV, fermented low and slow with Augustiner yeast on Rahr Pilsner, Weyermann Vienna and acidulated malts with Hallertau Mittelfruh hops. Fermenting under pressure gives it natural carbonation. 1% of sales supports the Surfrider Foundation's North Coast Chapter. Gold at the 2024 Oregon Beer Awards.
