About This Beer
Garage Beer Co Santako West Coast IPA is a gluten free, hop-forward masterpiece from the streets of Barcelona. With a 6.5% ABV and a lean malt backbone, it’s the kind of IPA that brings bold bitterness, clarity, and drinkability in equal measure. This beer is a homage to the classic American West Coast IPA style—bright, dry, and resin-packed—but updated with just enough tropical and citrus freshness to keep it modern and exciting.
Named after the brewery’s neighbourhood of Sant Andreu (nicknamed Santako), this IPA was designed for hop lovers who value a dry finish and assertive bitterness, all without the gluten. The beer is certified gluten free (<20ppm), making it ideal for drinkers who want to enjoy top-tier craft beer without compromising on dietary needs.
