2 out of 3 of these beers were recently seen at the fabulous Sunset Beer here in Los Angeles. And the El Segundo beer will probably be there soon because they had plenty of others from ESBC. Check them out and see if you can make it past all the bottles to the draft list.

Cismontane Brewing/ Malt Series – Vienna 5.1% ABV
“The purpose of the study is to understand the effects of various malts in the brewery, and the resulting beers. We will control all of the variables of the brewing process except the type of grain used. We believe that each grain will affect the following variables that we can measure in our brewery: extraction rate, change in pH, attenuation, and color. This will also affect many variables that only you can measure with your nose and tongue.”
~MEDIUM
Almanac Brewing/ Sourdough Wild Ale 6.5% ABV
“Brewed with a mash of raw and malted barley, oats, rye, spelt and lemon, this beer was fermented in used wine barrels with a blend of Brettanomyces wild yeasts and Marla Bakery’s San Francisco sourdough yeast. The finished beer is dry-hopped with tropical Mosaic hops. This unfiltered ale is alive in the bottle: drink fresh for a bright, passionfruit aroma or age to develop the wild yeast funk.”

El Segundo Brewing / Mayberry IPA 7.0% ABV
You want a single hop beer from a hop specialist? Then pick up a 22oz bomber from El Segundo. Their Mayberry IPA is 100% Mosaic hop.
