Libertine Brewing Boardroom Blend
Libertine Brewing Boardroom Blend is a genuine two-year collaboration — a 6% ABV American wild ale brewed with the crew of The Boardroom Surf Pub in Pismo Beach, aged in French oak white wine barrels, then blended with a touch of young golden ale and dry-hopped. The brewery called the original release "very tart and funky with a big blast of fresh German hops"; the current listing carries Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria hops, suggesting a later iteration of the blend. One of the first three Wild Registry member releases (January 2016). It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Brewed in a Boardroom — Literally
The name is no joke: The Boardroom Surf Pub's own staff brewed this alongside Libertine's crew at the Morro Bay brewery roughly two years before its release, making it a true long-game collaboration rather than a branding exercise. The result drinks tart and funky with a fresh hop blast — 4.08/5 on Untappd (429 ratings), 4.14/5 on BeerAdvocate. Browse more wild and sour ales or the Libertine collection at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Nose: White wine barrel, bright hops, wild funk. Palate: Very tart with fresh hop character over oak. Finish: Funky, dry, refreshing.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled in a stemmed glass with goat cheese, ceviche or Thai food — acidity and hop aromatics love bright, acidic plates. A blend built for sharing.
