California Wild Ales, located in San Diego, is a haven for sour beer enthusiasts. Their passion for funky, sour beer led them to embark on a journey away from conventional hop-centric brewing methods. Committed to delivering depth of flavor, California Wild Ales ages their beer in oak barrels for 9-12 months until it achieves a delightful tartness and funk.
The brewery takes pride in the intricate process of racking their beer onto fresh local fruit for an additional 4-8 weeks, resulting in a truly unique flavor profile. By using a combination of American, French, and Hungarian oak barrels, they craft complex layers of flavor, creating a distinct Wild Ale that embodies the essence of Southern California.
One of their notable creations, Gose Loco, showcases their expertise in barrel-aging with a blend of Añejo Tequila-soaked Hungarian Oak, Bearss Limes from Escondido, sea salt, and agave nectar. This attention to detail and dedication to the craft of sour beer brewing has established California Wild Ales as San Diego's Sour House, a must-visit destination for those seeking exceptional barrel-aged sour beers.
