About
California Wild Ales is San Diego's only all barrel-aged sour blendery, focused on creating complex, funky sour beers using old-world techniques. Their beers are aged in American, French, and Hungarian oak barrels for 9-12 months, then often racked onto fresh local San Diego fruit for additional fermentation. They emphasize tart, funky flavors and offer online ordering with curbside pickup.
