Kyle Harrop of Horus Aged Ales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You may not have heard of Kyle Harrop<\/strong>, but plenty of brewers in San Diego and beyond are familiar with him. A fervent bottle-sharer and festival-goer for more than a decade, he\u2019s made lots of\u00a0industry-friends\u2014many of whom he met before\u00a0they entered the brewing game\u2014and is preparing to make his own jump into the pro-ranks with his work-in-progress operation, Horus Aged Ales<\/strong> (4040 Calle Platino, Suite 120, Oceanside)<\/em>. Everything from brewing to barrels to blending, packaging and even the logo will be 100% him. That\u2019s not an unfamiliar scenario in nano-rich San Diego County, but what is unique is that all\u00a0of Horus\u2019 beers will be barrel-aged.<\/p>\n

Harrop says he has solid recipes for IPAs, but his sours and fruited beers have garnered the greatest compliments by the aforementioned industry insiders. From a consumption perspective, he finds the wares of inspirational entities Brasserie Cantillon<\/strong>, Funk Factory<\/strong>, Hill Farmstead<\/strong> and Side Project<\/strong> both delicious and fascinating. Thus, wild, Bretty and buggy brews, mixed-fermentation and spontaneously fermented brews will make up Horus\u2019 portfolio. Those beers will be available at a tasting room in Oceanside\u2019s Rancho Del Oro neighborhood outfitted in a \u201cbird of prey meets Southwestern\u201d motif featuring rustic custom tables, hawk paintings and photographs, and Mexican blankets hand-cut by Harrop\u2019s wife. The entire facility comes in at 3,200 square feet, and provides room for next-phase additions that include puncheons and fouders.<\/p>\n

Though his is a one-man operation, collaborations are a big part of the company-culture. Harrop recently completed brew-sessions at New Orleans\u2019 Courtyard Brewery<\/strong>, Pomona\u2019s Homage Brewing<\/strong>, and Rancho Bernardo\u2019s Abnormal Beer Company<\/strong><\/a>. The latter yielded a Belgian-style quadrupel conceived by Harrop and head brewer Derek Gallanosa<\/strong>, both of whom are self-proclaimed beer-geeks who are doing well in their professional transitions, thanks in great part to relationships forged in their days as recreational connoisseurs.\u00a0Harrop recalls many tasting sessions, including a standout evening in a Carlsbad Motel 6 where he, Julian Shrago<\/strong> and Bill Sysak<\/strong> tasted their way through some rare offerings. Shrago has gone on to become one of the most award-winning brewers in the country at Los Angeles\u2019 Beachwood BBQ & Brewing<\/strong><\/a>, while Sysak is known the world over for his beer-knowledge and is in the process of building his own interest, Wild Barrel Brewing Company<\/strong><\/a>, in a site down the street\u00a0from San Marcos\u2019 The Lost Abbey<\/strong><\/a>. Harrop has stayed in touch with many such ambitious ale appreciators, and has future collaborations lined up with El Segundo Brewing <\/strong>(located in his original home-town), Monterey\u2019s Alvarado Street Brewery<\/strong>, Phoenix\u2019s Wren House Brewing<\/strong>, Miami\u2019s J. Wakefield Brewing<\/strong>, Richmond\u2019s The Answer Brewpub<\/strong>, and Great Notion Brewing <\/strong>in Portland, Oregon. And here at home, he\u2019ll brew an old ale with Rip Current Brewing <\/strong><\/a>in San Marcos and multiple beers with a future Vista concern called White Fence Brewing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>When asked where and when beer-fans will be able to taste these collaborations, Harrop says to keep an eye out for upcoming information about an event \u201clike nothing else the craft-beer world has seen before\u201d at\u00a0which each of the beers crafted by him and his network of allies will be available. As far as Horus\u2019 barrel-aged stock, those will be released in 750-milliliter bottles, numbering anywhere from 150 to 650 total per-batch. Those will go on-sale online and occasionally be distributed to popular bottle-shops. Horus\u2019 first bottled beer, a sour ale, is scheduled to debut at Bine & Vine <\/strong><\/a>in Normal Heights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
