I may have started as a seasonal brew, but the demand was so strong that the Australians demanded me all year round. Behold, the CBCo Colonial Southwest Sour Ale!
Crafted with passion and precision, I boast a delicate and sweet body crafted from a blend of Pale, Wheat, and Munich malts. But what truly sets me apart is the infusion of specialty hops that lend a vibrant tropical aroma, enticing you from the moment the lid comes off.
Here's the twist: my brewers partially fermented me with natural acidifying wild yeasts in the brewhouse, adding a unique tartness to my flavor profile. The result is a lightly sour, bright, and incredibly refreshing beer that is simply irresistible. With each sip, you'll experience a symphony of flavors on your palate, offering a palate-cleansing sensation that invigorates your taste buds.
I am the perfect companion for those seeking a beer that defies expectations, surprises the senses, and leaves you wanting more. So stock up your fridge and let me be your go-to choice whenever you crave a truly remarkable and refreshing beer experience.

It wasn’t always a smooth ride for Colonial Brewing Co; CBCo was founded in 2004 and started with a mild success. In 2006, the company ran into some cash flow problems before growing into the major success that it is today. Despite the controversy surrounding its name, CBCo managed to rise above and continue producing beer of excellent tastes. CBCo has multiple award-winning beers and the brewery was even awarded 'Champion Australian Brewery' and 'Champion International Small Brewery' at the Australian International Beer Awards!
