Citrus Sour for the Summer!!!

We took a trip out to Palm Desert to grab about 400 lbs of Organic Meyer Lemons off our friend’s 30-year-old tree.  While we were there we picked a bunch of fruit from the neighboring Grapefruit trees.  We brought this beautiful citrus home and racked it onto a 2-Barrel blend of our Barrel-Aged Golden Sour.  To kick the flavors up even more we added some Fresh Pineapple which gives the Citrus Xplosion Tropical Finish.

This wild ale is deliciously refreshing, with unmistakable citrus on the nose and first taste, followed by a tropical pineapple finish.   This beer is a wonderful thirst quencher on a hot summer day.   Coming in at 4.7% ABV …so you can sip on Citrus Xplosion all day long.

If you love Citrus and Sour Beers… this is beer is an absolute must-have!

We only have (72) 500ml bottles remaining, so make sure to reserve your bottles today.

If your beer is being shipped within California please make sure to purchase a Shipping Box.  All orders containing a shipping box will be mailed out.  If no shipping box is purchased we assume you will pick your order up.

It’s baseball playoff season so LFG!!!

LFG is a gose-style ale that was aged in red wine barrels for 12 months to allow the beer to produce tart flavors, fruity notes, and a funky character.

Introducing our Sangiovese Wild Ale.

The Nebbiolo grape has a deep color violet color and bold tannins.  Despite its tannic structure, this beer’s fruity flavors of tart cherry and red plum are supported by a tea-like flavor.  Sangiovese grapes can be herbaceous with more sour tart cherry and mineral flavor.  We placed these grapes on our golden ale that aged in oak barrels for 12 months.  The beer then undergoes a secondary fermentation on the wine grapes. The wild yeast from the grape skins adds extra funk and flavor.  We love our wine grape sours.  Once you try them, you will immediately know why.
