The Iron Press Cantina will be rocking! Check out what we’ll have on draft and the incredible food menu that will be available. We think you’ll find it Chewbacca approved!-
Iron Press Anaheim:
Pearfect Perry Cider – ACE (5%)
We hear kegs of this crisp, gold-medal winning pear cider were the
smuggled goods when the Millennium Falcon made the Kessel Run in less than
12 pear-secs - just ask Senni Tonnika's son, Simon.
May the Port Be With You -- Pizza Port (8%)
If anyone knows May 4th beer, it’s Pizza Port. You’ll know when your midichlorians tingle when you taste the chocolate in this Imperial Porter that the Fourth is strong with this one.
Princess Leia Organa Raspberry Wheat Ale - Left Coast (6%)
Light, refreshing, and reminiscent of Princess Leia’s face when Han Solo
teases her too much.
Jabba the Hutt Imperial Wee Heavy - Left Coast (13.1%)
A Scotch ale as big and bold as Jabba himself. Oh, and we’ve heard it’s
criminally delicious.
Wookey Jack - Firestone Walker (8.3%)
Known as an IPA for dark beer fans, this brew is so dark, roasty, and
peppery you’ll think you stumbled onto the planet Kashyyyk and met Chewie
himself.
Millennium Falconer’s IPL – Weins (5.5%)
This tasty beer is brewed with Millenium and Falconer’s Flight hops to
attack your palate with intense tropical and citrus flavors.
Cloud City IPA - 32 North (7.5%)
Smooth, citrusy, floral, and piney; it’s the perfect beer to refuel with
so you can jet off to the Outer Rim to defeat Jabba the Hutt.
Red IV: Biggs Darklighter Memorial Amber Lager – Beach City (4.6%)
The Rebel Alliance lost many heroes in the Battle of Yavin, but none
greater than Red IV. Biggs Darklighter sacrificed his life protecting his
longtime friend Luke Skywalker. Tip a glass of this Amber Lager in
remembrance of the ace Starfighter.
TIE Pilot Chocolate Assault Nitro Stout – Beach City (6.3%)
TIE Pilots are the Imperial Armada’s first line of offense. Droves of
black clad fighters blast their way through rebel scum like the Milk
Chocolate blast of creamy goodness in your glass.
Gravity Well - Bottle Logic (9%)
A stunning coffee stout so smooth, you won’t even notice you’re caught in
its tractor beam. Feel the power of the dark beer.
Imperial REDioactive - Bottle Logic (8.6%)
Imperial REDioactive has a stong malt backbone and bold stone fruit
flavors with notes of earth and pine. If that strong backbone doesn’t
remind you of an Imperial Guard, its color certainly will.
Lando – Lagunitas (10.8%)
Lando is an Imperial IPA that’s as dank and hoppy as betrayal, and sticky
sweet as Baron Calrissian himself.
Hooligan Han (Nitro) - Mike Hess (5.5%)
Princess Leia fell in love with Han Solo for his dry wit and smooth lines
– and we’re falling in love with that Hooligan for the very same reason.
Hooligan is a dry Irish Stout boasting roasted, bitter, yet creamy flavor.
Space Dust – Elysian (8.2%)
It’s no wonder Elysian Brewing describes the hopping as “pure starglow
energy” – the dry citrus flavor in Space Dust makes us want to jump to
lightspeed.
Ground Control – Ninkasi (10%)
This rich, complex Imperial Stout is brewed with Oregon hazelnuts, star
anise and cocoa nibs, and fermented with Ale yeast that survived a trip to
space and back. Yes, you read that right.
Dark Helmet – Artifex (5.0%)
Yes, its Schwarz is as big as yours. This GOLD MEDAL winning schwarzbier
(black lager) is truly a beer for beer drinkers with its lightly roasted
and dark chocolate flavors, and it’s perfect for nerve-calming when you
get out of Ludicrous Speed.
Galaxian – Bootleggers (11%)
This barleywine tastes as big as the galaxy itself – so thank goodness
it’s not far, far away. Get your fill of dark fruit and caramel flavors.
Java the Hudson Imperial Porter (Nitro) – Golden Road
Want to feel as rich as a crime lord? This Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial
Porter with cocoa nibs, vanilla beans, vanilla beans, and Alchemistic
coffee from Portola Coffee Lab will make you feel like you are.
Iron Press Costa Mesa:
