Our goal in establishing Where the Wild Beers Are® in 2008 was to create a special occasion to share beers we cared about, traveled far and wide to obtain, and to discover others who shared our fervor for Wild, Sour & Farmhouse Ales.

At the time, most examples were limited to classic European brewers and the few progressive American producers who were starting to redefine what craft beer could be. After 10+ years, we are now fortunate to have many breweries making exemplary beer within these styles and even more fortunate to have so many in the immediate area.
