GUEST BLOG--By Melody Daversa--Karl
Strauss Brewing Company is celebrating 24 years of pioneering San Diego’s local
beer scene with a birthday bash this Saturday.
When the company first opened its doors on February 2, 1989, no one knew
if craft beer would take off. Now, with
Karl Strauss helping to lead the charge, San Diego has become internationally
recognized as a hotbed for craft beer culture and innovation. Karl Strauss is celebrating this milestone
with its third annual Changing of the Barrels event and the debut of its 24th
Anniversary Flanders- style ale.

The bottle:
When we cut our teeth in the beer biz back in ’89, the
thought of wild or spontaneously fermented ales left more than a sour taste in
people’s mouths. Twenty-four years later, the mouth-puckering tartness of sour
ales is craft beer’s newest obsession – an obsession we’ve been perfecting over
the past few years. So, as a tribute to the times, we’ve brewed a
Flanders-style Sour Red Ale to commemorate our 24th Anniversary. Keeping with
Flemish tradition, our 24th Anniversary Ale is an expertly blended combination
of oak barrel-aged and freshly fermented sour red ales. The resulting brew is
both tart and complex, boasting layers of cherries, pomegranate, currants and
toasted oak. Now show us your sour face! @Karl_Strauss #sourface
