SAN DIEGO – California Wild Ales, San Diego’s Sour House and the city’s only all-barrel-aged sour brewery, announced its third annual “May the Fourth be With You,” bottle release celebrating all things “Star Wars.” The brewery is releasing 10 new sour ales, including a sour ale kombucha blend and two new sour ales made with hops including, “Jabba the Hopp with Citra hops” and “Jabba the Hopp with Kohatu Hops,” to commemorate Star Wars Day.
In addition, the May the Fourth lineup includes old favorites like, “May the Force Be With Yuzu,” “Padme Almond-ala,” “The Dark Side,” “ImPEARial Stormtrooper,” and “Darth Citrus.”
“We are beyond thrilled that we can hold this year’s May the 4th celebration in-person at our new tasting room in Ocean Beach as well as our existing tasting room in Sorrento Valley,” said Bill DeWitt, co-owner and founder of California Wild Ales. “It’s the perfect way for us to kick off the grand opening and offer some really unique wild ales to the public.”
“It’s great to bring back some of the most popular blends and add a couple new ones. I was inspired to use hops to add the unique taste profile of each hop style in our beer,” said Zack Brager, co-owner and founder of California Wild Ales. “With dry-hopped sours, you get all the flavor of the hop without the bitterness from using them in the brewing process. It’s a fun way to showcase individual hops.”
The May the 4th lineup of sour beer will be available at both the Ocean Beach and Sorrento Valley tasting rooms and for online sales for curbside pickup at the California Wild Ales brewery and tasting room located at 4202 Sorrento Valley Blvd., Ste. L. Customers can visit: www.californiawildales.com or call (855) WILD-ALE or (855) 945-3253 to place orders. Each order will be accompanied by stickers and artwork of the special Star Wars-inspired designed for the event.
