Gunwhale Ales is an independently owned and operated brewery & blendery, with taprooms in Costa Mesa and Orange, California. The beers strike a balance between the raw, wild spirit of farmhouse brewing, and the pioneering hop forward styles of California. They have an obsession with yeast driven Saisons, hoppy IPAs, and other rustic, wild and sour beers. This gives their beers uncommon qualities that are both surprisingly delicate and nuanced, yet refined and robust in their simplicity. From bright, billowy summer ales to rustic, fortifying stormers that stand up to the rougher seas, Gunwhale makes beers that reflect the culinary and cultural heritage of the West Coast.
