Comic-Con Tap Takeover 2025 at California Wild Ales

San Diego Comic-Con has landed once again, bringing with it a tidal wave of fandom, cosplay, and unforgettable pop culture moments. And this year, the best after-party for your Comic-Con weekend isn’t in the Gaslampβ€”it’s at the beach and Point Loma, where California Wild Ales is throwing the wildest celebration in the San Diego craft beer scene.

🍻 A BEER UNIVERSE WORTHY OF A CROSSOVER EVENT

We’ve gone full-on multiverse with 16 Comic-Con-inspired beers on tap in Ocean Beach, and 20 unique brews pouring at our Point Loma taproom. From barrel-aged sours and hazy IPAs to crisp lagers and botanical ales, this is the San Diego craft beer event you don’t want to miss.

Get ready for limited-edition beers brewed with geeky precision and maximum flavor, including:


πŸ”₯ FEATURED BEERS:

Ozzy Oz-Orange

A face-melting blood orange sour that spent 12 months aging in oak barrels. Tart, funky, and full of rock β€˜n’ roll attitudeβ€”this is barrel-aged beer for headbangers.

The Foeder Awakens

A wild golden sour that slumbered in a massive oak foeder, developing complex layers of funk, acidity, and stone fruit magic. The funk is strong with this one.

Jabba the Hop

Our dankest West Coast IPA yetβ€”sticky, resinous, and packed with citrus and pine. This beast of a beer has serious crime lord energy.

STRAWBERRY Into the SOURVERSE

A mind-bending strawberry sour that explores infinite tart dimensions. Brewed for lovers of barrel-aged beer, pop culture, and intergalactic fruit.

CREAM (CITRA Rules Everything Around Me)

This juicy pale ale is packed with Citra hops and old-school hip-hop vibes. Light, bright, and endlessly drinkableβ€”because dollar dollar beer, y’all.
