Council Brewing’s “East County Ale” Hits the Shelves Thurs. Aug. 16th!

Council Brewing’s “East County Ale” Hits the Shelves Thurs. Aug. 16th!

Meet East County Ale! It is brewed with all American ingredients. We used American 2-row and some flaked corn to lighten the body and create a refreshing mouthfeel. Classic Cascade hops were used throughout and we did a light dry hopping to create a nice aroma.

This beer is meant to be enjoyed with friends after a long day at work, outside on the porch, after a ride, at the river, or in our taprooms. 4-pack cans will be available at both tasting rooms starting Thursday, Aug 16th.

A message from Liz Chism, Co-Owner/Head Brewer:

East County has a special place in my heart. I lived in Alpine and helped my dad rebuild homes there after the Cedar fires in 2003 and lived there until I met Curtis in 2009. After Curtis and I got married, we bought a house in Santee and perfected our homebrewing skills.

At our house in Santee we dreamt of starting a brewery, made a business plan, and then sold our house to start Council. Now that we have our Santee brewery and tasting room, we wanted to create a beer that paid homage to where Council started. We didn’t follow any style guidelines, just our heart. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Cheers!
