Eye of the Hawk Beer

Hey, Sonoma beer lovers! We've got something truly special brewing at Olde Sonoma Public House, and we can't wait to share it with you. Get ready to dive into the rich history and even richer flavors of a true California classic: Eye of the Hawk Select Ale.


For those in the know, the name "Eye of the Hawk" conjures up images of a legendary brew. This magnificent ale, originally crafted by the pioneering Mendocino Brewing Company, has long been celebrated for its distinctive character and loyal following. Mendocino Brewing, established in 1983, was actually California's third oldest craft brewery and even the nation's second overall brewpub, the Hopland Brewery! They truly set the stage for the craft beer scene we all love today.


What Makes Eye of the Hawk So Special?


This is an ale that doesn't just sip; it soars! Eye of the Hawk is known for its beautiful coppery reddish-amber hue and a complex flavor profile that's truly a work of art. It’s brewed with a thoughtful blend of caramel and pale malted barley, perfectly balanced with a mix of Cluster, Cascade, and Saaz hops. The result? A luxurious taste, a substantial mouthfeel, and that satisfyingly dry finish that leaves you wanting more. With an impressive 8.0% ABV, it's a rich, complex, and incredibly flavorful strong ale that has garnered an enviable cult following over the years.


While the original Mendocino Brewing Company sadly ceased operations, we're thrilled that its spirit lives on! Fogbelt Brewing Company has taken on the mantle of reviving this iconic brew, bringing back those beloved flavors for a new generation of craft beer enthusiasts and those of us who remember it fondly.
