We teamed up with our friends at Santa Barbara’s Twenty-Four Blackbirds Chocolate to create Orbscura Cacao. Made with whole Dominican cocoa beans---prized for there subtle, fruity character and rich chocolate flavor--- Obscura Cocoa emphasizes notes of apricot, banana, and tropical fruit, all in perfect harmony with an underlying and unmistakable cocoa character. Pair this unique ale with one of the Twenty-Four Blackbirds artisan chocolate bars for the ultimate chocolate experience!
Our classic, crisp pilsner is brewed every summer for Santa Barbara's Fiesta celebration. Telegraph is proud to brew our Cerveza de Fiesta right here in downtown Santa Barbara, for locals and visitors alike. This classic Czech Pilsner-style lager is crisp, satisfying, and refreshing. Noble hop aroma and a biscuit malt body have this beer finishing clean and dry. It is just the beer to pair with great food, old and new friends, and good times. Viva la Fiesta!
The first installment of our IPA Projects, is a crisp 6.6% abv hopped with Centennial, Cascade, Meridian, Nugget and CTZ hops.
Dark, rich, and smooth, Telegraph Oatmeal Stout is a hearty beer that unites the deep roasted flavors of a traditional British-style cream stout with a silky mouthfeel imparted by the addition of whole grain oats to the mash. Originally brewed to celebrate the wedding of two lovers of dark, creamy beers, our interpretation of this classic style is bigger and bolder than other examples. Pair our Oatmeal Stout with smoky barbecued meats, an intense Mexican mole sauce, or dark chocolate desserts and get ready to swoon..
The word vulpine means like a fox. Here, we’re referring to the deep, reddish hues of Obscura Vulpine, a beer brewed especially for barrel aging. What goes into the wood as rich, malty, and ruby-colored, comes out a complex, sour, garnet ale. With notes of dried tart cherries, red currants, and oak, this is a beer as artful as our favorite forest canine.
Inspired by the exuberance of the Romani Gypsy culture. Telegraph Gypsy Ale celebrates the restless and adventurous spirit in all of us. We brewed it with rye, unmalted wheat, and locally grown plums. Then we fermented it with Brettanomyces while listening to traditional Gypsy tunes. It’s wild, it’s unique, it’s delicious. So go ahead, stray from that well-trodden ground you are following, grab a bottle, and dance along a crooked path. Opa!
Telegraph Robust Ale is a bigger and bolder version of our California Ale. Aromas of pear and banana dominate the complex nose. Rich flavors of caramel malt are tamed by several generous additions of Cascade hops during the brewing process. This is a full-bodied but well-balanced beer made for sipping.
