Ghost Town Torture Garden West Coast Hoppy Pils
A Lush Oasis of West Coast Hops
Escape the ordinary with Ghost Town's Torture Garden, a West Coast Hoppy Pilsner that's anything but punishing. This 5.3% ABV brew takes the crisp, clean foundation of a traditional Pilsner and unleashes a vibrant torrent of New World hop character, featuring the dynamic duo of Nelson Sauvin and Mosaic. Prepare for a refreshing journey through bright aromatics and a satisfyingly dry finish.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Prepare for an aromatic explosion! The Nelson Sauvin hops take center stage, delivering distinctive notes of crushed gooseberries and tropical white wine. This is beautifully complemented by the multifaceted Mosaic, adding layers of bright citrus (think grapefruit and tangerine), juicy berry notes, and a subtle hint of pine needles.
- Flavor: The initial sip offers the clean, crisp bitterness you expect from a well-crafted Pilsner, but it quickly gives way to the expressive hop profile. The gooseberry and white wine notes from the Nelson shine through, intertwined with the citrusy zest and tropical fruit complexity of the Mosaic. A subtle malt backbone provides a clean canvas, allowing the hops to truly sing.
- Finish: Torture Garden lives up to its West Coast billing with a decidedly dry and refreshing finish. The hop bitterness lingers pleasantly, inviting another sip. Hints of pine and a touch of lingering tropical fruit provide a satisfying conclusion to this intensely aromatic and flavorful brew.
Ghost Town Torture Garden is a testament to the harmonious marriage of classic brewing techniques and bold hop innovation. It's a West Coast Pilsner that's both incredibly refreshing and packed with the vibrant character of Nelson and Mosaic hops – a true oasis for hop lovers.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
