California breweries with sours series#
Inspired by the skilled artisans of Belgium's Lambic region and their distinctively fermented beers, the Calambic Series offers High Water's newest wild ales. High Water's line of sour beer, called the Calambic™ Series, starts with a beer base that essentially is a golden ale aged in wine barrels for one to two years, with fresh fruits added for a tart flavor during the last four to six months of aging.

Rare Barrel is one brewery that offers tours and a tasting room, one-upping other local breweries without these perks. We make this beer once per year, so you can expect the next batch of Ensorcelled around the middle of next year." Confirming the beer's excellence, Ensorcelled was recently awarded a Silver Medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival in the American-Style Sour Ale category. Wallash adds, "It's rich and decadent with notes of fresh raspberries. A home-brewed highlight is Ensorcelled, a dark sour beer aged in oak barrels with raspberries, and one of Rare Barrel's most requested beers. Rare Barrel co-founders Jay Goodwin and Alex Wallash became interested in craft beer when the two homebrewed beer in their apartment, back in their college days. In their quest to find the "The Rare Barrel," the perfect barrel of sour beer, the brewers create a range of exceptional beers. The flavors that define and dominate sour beers are tart and acidic tastes the fruity sours of raspberries, cherries, lemons, peaches and other fruits. The Rare barrel opened in 2013 as purveyor of one thing only – sour beers, fitting right in to the pervasive sour beer scene across the Bay Area. Happy hour is Monday – Friday 4 – 6:30 p.m.
