The depths of this California winter require some toasty treats from time to time. Fortunately the darkness leads to the light, or in this case, the darkness IS actually THE light. We welcome back to the board one of our cult classic beers, Dozer Line. A black lager this beer is deceptive and delicious. Dark in color with roasty character, this beer is refreshing, with contrasting flavors of biscuit, dark chocolate and toasted walnut. Easily drinkable at 4.6% ABV this is a brewers favorite for it's drinkability and complexity. Dozer Line gets its name from the heroic firefighters who bulldoze firebreaks in the hillsides as they burn. We think this beer serves as a perfect reward for any of our firefighting friends!

[NOTE: Zack Gregson was a local Wildland Firefighter who passed away in a tragic accident last year. Zack was a "swamper" (part of the dozer crew who walks alongside the dozer to give eyes on the terrain for the dozer driver), so we are brewing Dozer as a way to commemorate Zack's memory and honor his legacy. The Gregson family will be meeting at Colt St. on 8/19 for the release, and there will be a limited run of Dozer Line shirts sold exclusively at Colt St on 8/19. We'll see how many are left after the weekend, and that will help us determine whether or not it'll be possible to transport them and sell them at other taprooms. Thanks! - JI]
