BEER On The Wall "Goes Live!"

After months of planning, organizing, and scouring the state of California for tasty microbrews, BEER On The Wall's highly anticipated website finally went live on February 1st, 2000.

With an initial offering of about 70 excellent California micros and additional brews being added each month, Beer On The Wall intends to quickly become the country's leader in high quality California microbrews.

 

Now don't get confused and think that these guys are just another beer-of-the-month club, because they're not! They are actually a full service Microbrew Store! What's great about this website is that you can pick and choose from any of the premium beers that they have in stock to build your own 6-packs and 12-packs. You can mix 12 oz bottles with 22 oz bottles, light beers with dark ones. Pick any combo you want and BEER On The Wall will quickly have each custom order delivered directly to your home. Yes, you can now shop for beer in your underwear!

Introducing "Bunch of Brew Packsİ"

In addition to letting you "build your own" 6-packs and 12-packs, BEER On The Wall offers an excellent variety of flavor coordinated microbrew packages. Their new "Bunch of Brew Packs" come in either 6-packs or 12-packs, and three different flavor assortments that are sure to please any beer-lovers palate!

The California Sun Bunch was put together for light beer lovers, the High Sierra Bunch is for the Dark beer enthusiasts and the Golden State Bunch is filled with a mixture of light, medium and dark micros from across the Golden State!

Each Bunch of Brew Pack contains six different tasty micobrew flavors (one bottle of each in the 6-pack and two bottles of each in the 12-pack). The featured brews change now and then to include seasonal and specialty brews so be sure to check out "OFF The Wall" each month for updates.


We support the 3 basic food groups:

Hops, Barley and Water

This Month's Featured Brews
Hollywood Blonde Ale - The Great Beer Company

The founders are an unusual bunch, all members of the Maltose Falcons, the oldest homebrew club in the US: The CEO is a television producer, the award winning brewmaster is a biochemist, an asst. professor at UCLA, and a woman, and the assoc. brewmaster is president of a computer company. What they have in common is a love of great beer and a dedication to excellence. When deciding on a name, they assumed - rightfully so - that if asked to

choose between a so-so suds and a great beer, most people would choose the great beer. and so The Great Beer Co. was born.

Hollywood Blonde is a Kölsch style ale, top fermented warm and then lagered (cold aged) to give it a unique taste and clean, smooth finish. Kölsch is the specialty brewing style of the city of Cologn, Germany.

Red Feather Premium Ale - Palm Springs Brewing Co.

In 1994 the Palm Springs Brewing Co. was created as a brewpub in downtown Palm Springs to cater to local residents and the huge tourist industry of the area. Two years later, the demand for their beer was so great that they built an 11,000 sf brewery complete with twelve 50bbl fermentation tanks. The brewery is managed and operated under the watchful eye of Eric Neiderman, who has over 10 years of brewing experience and was trained by an award

winning brewer from the Weisphan School of Brewing in Munich, Germany.

Red Feather Ale is a red-colored beer with a slightly sweet flavor and no sharp bitter tones. The famous Palm Springs well water which they use to brew their beer adds to Red Feather Ale's excellent balance and full body.

Winter Ale - Butte Creek Brewing Co.

Located in Chico, the Butte Creek Brewing Co. started brewing in 1996 and produces some outstanding brews. The 8,250 sf brewery is built in a remodeled warehouse just off the tracks and sports a 20 barrel brew house complimented by four 40bbl fermenters and an 80bbl fermenter. The three "main guys" at the brewery are Tom Atmore, Bill Beeghly and brewmaster Roland Allen. Roland has over nine years under his belt as a commercial brewer

and over 13 years as a serious homebrewer.

This month BEER On The Wall is featuring one of Butte Creek's "seasonal" brews that you can drink around the fireplace on a cold night, or during half-time of a snowball fight. Winter Ale is a robust, hearty, chestnut brown ale that is only available during the cold winter months. A big brown bear of an ale that will keep you warm. Only Available November through March.
