California Wild Ales will celebrate San Diego Beer Week, a nine-day extravaganza of the best independent craft breweries in America taking place Nov. 4-12. San Diego Beer Week will include events happening throughout the county at participating breweries, bars, restaurants, and more.
On Nov. 4, California Wild Ales will release a new 7.5% West Coast IPA called 14 Mile IPA to kick things off. Featuring Sultana and El Dorado hops, this beer has a restrained bitterness with notes of straw and pear.
On Saturday, Nov. 5, California Wild Ales is releasing five wine grape sours Nebbiolo, San Genovese, Zinfandel, Cab Franc, and Sangria.
Join California Wild Ales on Tuesday, Nov. 8, for a delicious bowl of Soi OB’s Tom Yum Soup and wash it down with an ice-cold Tom Yum Sour. California Wild Ales is known for thinking outside the box and has collaborated with the Ocean Beach neighborhood since its doors opened in May of 2021. This year, the brewery has joined forces with local Thai restaurant Soi OB to create a genuinely wild collaboration. Introducing Tom Yum Sour, made with Thai chilies, Kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and toasted coconut.
“We love working with the neighborhood to create something that can only exist in this funky and eclectic town of OB. Ocean Beach is the perfect place for us to introduce these sometimes bizarre flavors,” said Bill DeWitt, co-founder of California Wild Ales.
Wednesday, Nov. 9, California Wild Ales is releasing another collaboration brew, this time, it’s a Hoppy Pale Ale made with Thorn Street Brewing and Amplified Aleworks. Be sure to stop by early for the first rock, paper, scissors competition in Ocean Beach.
There will be a lot of activities in Ocean Beach for SD Beer Week, so make sure you take advantage of these truly unique beers that will be available for a limited time.
