Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing Wilder Wheat

Wilder Wheat is truly a beer for all seasons.You could drink it while eating a giant chicken pot pie, wearing a shetland sweater, belly up to the pub. But it also has a lightness to it. Think summer beers on the patio with some salsa and chips. It goes both ways... and I have never said that about a beer.

I like that it is from the Santa Cruz Mountains, near the Bay Area. So the beer isn't trucked across the country, exhuming lots of carbon into the air. And, in my mind, I think the water is purer up in the Santa Cruz mountains. My dad's an aggressive home brewer--so I know that water quality is important. You can't have too much of this element or too much of that.

If only I could find Wilder Wheat at my corner store in the Inner Richmond. But I guess it is worth looking a little harder for the Wilder Wheat guy.

I was at the Taste of Green party the other night. I'm not an organic green guy. I was worried how the word organic would change the taste of this wheat beer. Well, it didn't and I loved it. I would buy this product.
