Description
It all started with a neighbor sharing a homemade beer. Liz saw how excited Jamil was and bought him a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas. Jamil became obsessed with brewing the perfect beer and became a homebrew legend in the process by winning a first-place medal in every known beer, mead, and cider style category. Eventually, his passion to brew was too strong and Jamil and Liz decided to take the plunge and open Heretic Brewing Company.
We started by sharing a building with another brewery in 2011, but we always brewed our beer ourselves. Within the first six months we realized there wasn’t enough space for two breweries in one building, so we began the search for a new place. By 2013, we had built a new, modern brewery in the wonderful city of Fairfield, California and moved all our operations there, including our new distillery.

16oz can pours out a hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice big tangerine citrus hops and a light sweet malt. Taste is more of the nice sweet tangerine notes and a crisp end.

Tap at Hair of the Dog, Phloen Chit, Bangkok. Poured a clear dark reddish brown colour with a thin white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is yeast, red berry fruits, oaky vinous. The flavour is moderate to strong sour with a light yeasty biscuit dough, big tart red berry fruit, boozy vinous alcoholic palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. It’s like they poured a whole load of cheap wine into this beer or the barrel wasn’t entirely empty when they poured the beer in. So sour and very acidic. It took the lining off my throat.

16 oz can from Brewers Haven. Medium golden pour, small, tightly beaded head. Aroma comes off as true golden, biscuit malts with the tiniest hint of citrus. Tangerines burst onto the palate, sweet and full, buoyed by the solid malt base. Nice feel and super tasty.
