Dr. Bill Sysak Announces Wild Barrel Brewing
(San Marcos, CA) – Long time friend of TheFullPint.com and former Craft Beer Ambassador at Stone Brewing Bill Sysak made a major announcement today. He will be starting his own craft brewery, with a core lineup in mind. Bill is a long time veteran of the beer industry, so his years of experience and knowledge should be to his advantage in starting up a brewery in the extra volatile craft beer space. We wish Dr. Bill well and look forward to seeing this new brewery launch. Here is the official press release.
“Dr.” Bill Sysak, regarded as one of the top craft beer experts in the world, is proud to announce the launching of his new brewery in San Marcos, California, slated to open spring of 2017. Wild Barrel Brewing Company has a 15 barrel brewhouse and will produce exceptional craft beers in a variety of styles that will please everyone from the novice to the most experienced beer aficionado. Bill’s thirty-nine years of experience in the craft beer world (including over seven years at Stone Brewing) will ensure an unforgettable lineup. The brewery will be known for its “San Diego Weisse” sours implementing a variety of fruit additions, along with a constantly rotating selection of San Diego style IPA’s to satisfy the most extreme lupo-maniacs. Rounding out the core lineup is an American stout with coffee additions changing seasonally from local roasters, and a “crushable” Belgian Wit.
Wild Barrel Brewing Company will have an extensive barrel program, beginning with 300 and progressing to 1,000 barrels within the first few years. The brewery will hold a number of small releases each year that will include a variety of barrel aged sours along with Bourbon-barrel Imperial Stout variations.
Dr. Bill remarks, “I’m very excited to officially announce this new project I have been working on over the last couple of years. It has been an amazing seven plus years at Stone Brewing. I am thankful to Greg Koch and Steve Wagner for allowing me to spread the gospel of craft beer to legions of fans nationwide.”
