Council’s tart kiss Council Brewing Company (7705 Convoy Court, Kearny Mesa) is set to launch a spin-off sour brand. T e Magic Factory was initially the name given to Council’s second produc- tion suite, which sits across the industrial park from its main Kearny Mesa brewhouse and tasting room. It’s separated by a parking lot and, as Council cofounder Curtis Chism points out, exactly fi ve speed-bumps — a number familiar to Council brew staff aſt er shuttling totes of beer between the spaces for nearly two years. Since May 2015, Council has
been fi nishing its fl agship Beati- tude tart saison series there, with a parade of fruits and a proprietary

However, the space has now been outfi tted with three foeders — wooden fermentation barrels — where 15- and 30-bar- rel batches of sour ales await release as Magic Factory beers in the spring. First up for the new label will be the March bottle-release of Lickable Staves, a cabernet-barrel-aged sour red ale with Balaton cherries. In addition to the foeders and off shoot label,
Council has been pushing a creative expansion with a couple of recent collaborations. Humming Wires was brewed in Monterey, in collaboration with Alvarado Street Brewery, which happens to be headed by former San Diegan and Amplifi ed Ale Works cofounder J.C. Hill. Curtis Chism describes the beer as an “IPA
with a kiss of tartness.” While making it, “one third of the batch was kettle-soured to lower the pH just a touch to really enhance the fruity profi le of the beer.” As people associate sourness with fruit, the blended kettle-sour accentuates that aspect of the juicy IPA. A second collaboration proved more spon-
taneous. Eighteen months ago, Council head brewer Liz Chism told the Reader, “If you’re not using your brewhouse, you’re not making money.” So, in mid-January, when shipping delays postponed a planned bottling run, she

and husband Curtis found another way to make use of the time. They invited Toolbox Brewing Company
brewhouse, where Schmidt keeps a small lab to cultivate his own strains of bacteria and yeast. T e idea is to wait a year, then taste how the diff erences reveal themselves in the fi nal beers. Traditionally, Belgian lam-
bics incorporate aged hops that are no longer bitter- ing but still prevent the beer from becoming infected by unwanted microorganisms. In this case, three-year-old Crystal hops, described by the brewers as having a blue- cheese aroma, were added to a brew of underdeveloped pil- sner malts, plus both fl aked and unmalted wheat. “Depending on how it turns
out, we’ll likely do a blend of the two, in addi- tion to unblended releases,” says Curtis Chism. Schmidt suggests the two breweries could reconvene next year — and the year aſt er — to reproduce the beer and eventually blend the three versions into a gueuze.
