Ventana “Red Wine in a Hot Tub 6’0″ Hull” Surfboard Unveiling
Humble Sea Ventana Maple Pastry Stout Beer Release
Ser Winery Ventana Surfboard Syrah Wine Re-Release

From the Ventana newsletter:
 This Friday, Humble Sea is releasing a mind-blowing, imperial stout with flavors of maple syrup, French toast, chocolate chips, vanilla, and heavy whipped cream in 22 oz. bottles! Our best buddies at Humble Sea thought up the Ventana Maple Dawn Patrol Pasty Stout (ABV 13%) after hearing how fired up we were about the new, 6’0” wooden board we’re creating with reclaimed, flamed maple across the deck.
We’ll be unveiling the surfboard, called the “Red Wine in a Hot Tub 6’0 Hull,” at the release party. It incorporates flame maple, a fin made of wine corks, and reclaimed redwood from a hot tub and from wine tanks. Ask us about special pricing for this board in honor of this epic collab!

We’ll also be releasing some super rad surf supplies we designed with the Humble Sea team, including Humble Sea Save-A-Surf Boxes and maple-scented surf wax! And, we’ll be selling some cool bottle openers made from Santa Cruz Guitar Co.wood offcuts along with reclaimed wood wine stoppers.

Ser Winery will be re-releasing the Ventana Surfboard Syrah at the event, too! .

The Humble Sea kitchen will be serving a French toast dinner with a Ventana Maple Dawn Patrol stout reduction syrup!
