Space IPA has been with us a long time. Orange-amber, crystal clear, with a toasty, bready depth set against orange pith and grapefruit riding on classic American hops.
If you’ve been drinking Half Acre for a while, you already know Space. If you’re new, this is a good place to start.

Half Acre Light. We wanted it. Maybe you’ve been looking for it, too. Pale Ale, definitely, but sometimes Light Lager. 4% and 99 calories. In the Tap Room, at Home, out in the Wild – there's a reason that Half Acre Light is Just Right.

Nature is leveling some brutal temps. Put on half the stuff in your closet and head to the water. Let it get you cold to the core before heading back in to enjoy a frothy mug of well earned beer. If that doesn’t get you going, then the Great Lakes are not a good place to hang your hat.

Chicago has been flirting with some heavy wind chills this weekend. Stay warm if you're on the move out there. Sunrise Vallejo is here to help cut through the freeze with juicy guava, bright berry and a classic West Coast bite that drinks like a spring daydream in this brutal winter.
