Stop Making Cents

Amber Ale | 5.0% ABV

Same as it ever was? Not quite.

Stop Making Cents is a smooth, copper-colored Amber Ale brewed by California Wild Ales in San Diego and pouring fresh in Ocean Beach, California. Originally destined for darker territory, this beer found its own groove, landing at a beautiful deep amber and copper hue with an easy-drinking malt character that made us realize sometimes you just have to stop making sense—or in this case, Stop Making Cents.

At 5.0% ABV, Stop Making Cents is built for the long haul. Expect a balanced, approachable Amber Ale with layers of toasted malt, fresh bread and light caramel sweetness, wrapped up in a clean, smooth finish. There’s enough malt character to keep things interesting without becoming heavy or overly sweet, making this the kind of pint that’s equally at home after work, before dinner, or during a sunny afternoon just blocks from the Pacific Ocean.

You may find yourself asking, “Well… how did I get here?” Don’t worry about it. Grab another pint.

Consider this your Once in a Pint Time opportunity to experience a classic American Amber Ale with a little California Wild Ales personality. Maybe This Must Be the Pint you’ve been looking for. Maybe you’re Burning Down the Brewhouse. Either way, Stop Making Cents keeps things crisp, malty, flavorful and refreshingly uncomplicated.

Its gorgeous copper color is part of what inspired the name, but the beer inside the glass is what keeps the whole thing together. Toasted malt and caramel notes lead the way, followed by a subtle hop balance that keeps each sip clean and drinkable. At just 5.0%, it’s a perfect choice for anyone searching for a flavorful San Diego craft beer that doesn’t need a double-digit ABV or a mountain of hops to get your attention.

Stop Making Cents is brewed in San Diego, Southern California, and available at California Wild Ales in Ocean Beach, just blocks from the beach and the heart of Newport Avenue. Whether you’re an OB local, visiting San Diego, heading to the beach, exploring the neighborhood’s bars and breweries, or simply looking for a great Amber Ale in San Diego, pull up a stool and give this copper-colored creation a spin.
