Slated to come any now is Almanac Beer Co.’s Cerise Sour Blond. Meant for hot summers like the one in San Joaquin Valley of California, Cerise Sour Blond uses fresh cherries, then aged in wine barrels. An American wild ale built to beat the heat.
This beer is inspired by the long and hot summer days in the San Joaquin Valley—the fertile basin that yields much of California’s bountiful produce. This tart blond ale was brewed with Rainier and Bing cherries from Bella Viva Orchards and fermented with our house sour culture and aged for many months in used wine barrels to create a tart, cherry-kissed wild ale.
Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Cherries. Wine Aged.)
Availability: 375ml bottles, Limited Draft.
Arrival: Late July, 2014

Almanac Beer Co has one pumpkin offering on the books, Heirloom Pumpkin. The ale is aged in a blend of rye and brandy barrels. To be bottled in August, is a new fall offering – Almanac Dark Pumpkin Sour.
This new offering features the same heirloom pumpkins from Cali based Bodega Bay, that have been caramelized for a sweet taste that is a departure from Heirloom Pumpkin.
Autumn in California means changing colors, cooler evenings and festive meals celebrating the bountiful fall harvest. Aged in used wine barrels, the dark sour pumpkin beer is inspired by the season, merging roasted dark malts with the sweet flavors of caramelized heirloom pumpkins from Bodega Bay and a touch of pumpkin pie spice. Serve this complex ale alongside Mom’s classic pumpkin pie.
Almanac Dark Pumpkin Sour is slated to be bottled in August.
Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Pumpkin)
Availability: 375ml Bottles
Arrival: Fall, 2014
