Light Years Fermentation

We have a fresh batch of one of our favorites back on tap today⚡

Sharke IPA • 7% ABV • Our East meets West Coast inspired IPA, double dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, Cascade, and Dolcita for vibrant aromas of white grape, ripe peach, passion fruit, grapefruit, and fresh citrus. Bright, crisp, and intensely aromatic with a clean bitterness and dry finish. Brewed in memory of Jeff “Sharke” Parke (1980–2023) 🦈

Also, please enjoy this photo of Trey repping Light Years at MSG 😮‍💨 we’re just as surprised as you are!!

See you soon 🍻

Today’s happenings at Light Years:

We’re excited to release Pompeii Pils, our take on a classic Italian Style Pilsner. Brewed with premium Eraclea malt from Italy and traditional European hops, it’s crisp, refreshing, and perfect for a summer day.

DJ Boogie will be spinning from 6–9 PM, so come grab a beer and enjoy a beautiful evening with us!

Our outside cash bar will be open featuring a few limited specialty blends on draft.

Want to skip the drink line? Pick up some Light Years Coins when you arrive. When you’re ready for another beer, just walk right up to the bar, hand over your coin, and you’re good to go.

See you soon! ✨☀️

We’ve got some exciting new wines from Behemoth Farm Wine this week, and we can’t wait to share them with you. A huge thanks to Ian at Behemoth for making a special delivery for us!

In the meantime, make plans to spend your Friday with us! DJ Boogie (Jason Smith) will be curating the tunes for us starting at 6:00 PM on Friday, July 24, so come grab a pizza, a pint (or a glass of wine), and kick off the weekend with us.

See you soon 🍕🍺🍷

We have a new special for you, our Mortadella Spiedini 👌🏼

Crispy fried mortadella skewers glazed with our house honey, cherry peppers, and vinegar reduction.

Crispy on the outside, incredibly succulent on the inside, with a rich, deeply savory flavor balanced by the perfect touch of sweet heat.

We also have a new ale on today, Ruby Waves. This is a farmhouse pale ale conditioned with organic cherry juice. Bright citrus and tropical hop character mingle with vibrant cherry, subtle farmhouse funk, and a crisp, dry finish.

Stop by and try something new. See you soon! ❤️🌊

A little pizza appreciation post 🍕

This beauty is our White Garlic Pizza topped with roasted red peppers. Pretty stunning if we do say so ourselves.

Also, for those who missed a taste, our Japanese Potato Salad is officially back on the menu this week!

And one more thing to add to your calendar, DJ Boogie is back next Friday, July 24 to kick off the weekend with some tasty tunes for us. Make sure to keep an eye on our Events listing on our website to see what’s coming up.

See you soon!

Thank you so much to Ultra Vibe & Nate Calzetoni for an absolutely amazing evening of live music last night 🎶❤️ We love those guys and are always grateful to have them at Light Years.

Also, a huge thank you to Medusa Aerosol for live painting throughout the night and blessing our space with some truly beautiful art 🎨✨ Watching the mural come to life while the music played was something special.

And to every single person who continues to show up, support us, hang out, drink our weird little beers, eat pizza, listen to music, and keep this whole thing going, thank you so much 🫶🏼

We also have a few new beers hitting the taps today! 🍻

SOMETIMES - Farmhouse Pale Ale • 7% ABV. A rustic farmhouse pale ale brewed with our house mixed culture and a generous whirlpool addition of Nelson Sauvin and Motueka. Bright citrus, white grape, and tropical fruit meet expressive farmhouse character and a crisp, dry finish. Naturally evolving, refreshing, and uniquely Light Years.

LUCID - Hoppy Blonde Ale • 5.5% ABV. A lightly hopped blonde ale with bright citrus, soft tropical fruit, and a crisp, clean finish. Refreshing, easy-drinking, and just hoppy enough.

DEAD BEET 2024 - Beet Cider • 8% ABV. A special 2024 vintage. A bold, dry cider fermented with organic beet juice. Pours a beautiful deep ruby color, slightly tart, with the perfect balance of acidity and funk. Crisp, earthy, and elegant.

Come hang out with us today ❤️

We love this place. We love you guys. And we can’t wait to see where this whole crazy, beautiful thing keeps going✨

First off, we’d like to thank everyone who has come out these past couple of days. All of the support, kindness, and patience truly means more to us than you know 🫶🏼🍻

We are also VERY excited to welcome back Ultra Vibe tonight (7/11) with special guest Nate Calzetoni! Band starts at 6 PM 🎶✨

To help keep lines moving and wait times down, here are a few tips when visiting Light Years tonight:

If you’re planning on ordering pizza, we recommend ordering as soon as you arrive. We’ll always let you know the current wait time so you can grab a beer, relax, and enjoy the music while we make your food.

We also offer Light Years gift coins! They’re a great way to avoid waiting in line when ordering drinks. Grab your coins ahead of time and walk right up to the bar for your beer.

Our gift coins can also be used at the outside cash bar, so you don’t have to head back inside and miss the music!

We are so excited to see everyone tonight. Thank you all for continuing to support us and helping make Light Years our own weird, wonderful little community ❤️🍕🍺🎶

See you soon!
