Am I Obsolete?

Am I Obsolete?

By cwa-blog

On December 15th, California Wild Ales is thrilled to bring you our very first art show featuring Recirculation art by James Rauff.  It will also be a chance to purchase his brand new book, Am I Obsolete, signed by the amazing artist and author himself.

Recirculation Art is an exploration of the relevancy of old digital point and shoot cameras. Smartphones have made these cameras near obsolete.

Recirculation Art creates unique images and stories for these Robotized cameras, depicting life after their decline. The anthropomorphism of these figures in abandoned locations with urban decay juxtaposes themes of time, technology and nature.

James Rauff is a local SoCal Artist and a friend to the brewing industry having worked for several SD craft breweries. Come to join us for a celebration of Art, Beer, and great craftsmanship.

These Last 6 months in the tasting room have been amazing.  Seeing all the smiling faces come in and enjoy our sour beer is an amazing feeling.  Now it’s time to give back. 

Fundraisers will be a regular thing going forward, and since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month it will be the perfect place to get the ball rolling.  Starting Tuesday, October 9th when we tap Our new beer  Pomegranate Espresso, we will be donating 50%of proceeds from both this and last week’s Pomegranate Ginger keg to the Beer for Boobs Foundation.  

Beer for Boobs is a wonderful non-profit that “creates a positive relationship with the brewing community & compassionate businesses to promote breast cancer awareness, support those fighting cancer, and fund life-saving research.”  Come out and enjoy some delicious sour beer while giving back to an incredibly important cause.

All About that Base III Dry Hopped with El Dorado and Simcoe.  

Another start to the work week and another sour beer from your friends at California Wild Ales.  This week’s beer features our golden sour ale stacked with tropical aromas with the dankness of Simcoe.  This golden sour is a refreshing change from some of the heavier beer on the market.  This beer drinks beautifully on hot summer days.  

Stop by our tasting room and try out our dry-hopped golden sour, or sip on one of the 9 other sour beer that we have on tap.  To see what other beers will be on tap this week visit our Tap List page.
