(Krebs, OK) – Choc Beer Company is pleased to announce they will collaborate with the Fellowship of Oklahoma Ale Makers (FOAM) to brew Wild Brew, a limited release beer designed to raise awareness of the annual Wild Brew beer festival in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Wild Brew beer will be available in 22-ounce bottles beginning June 6 throughout Oklahoma and Western Arkansas.

“The inaugural 2010 Wild Brew beer was a great success, and we wanted to find a brewing partner to continue the excitement for 2011. I thought that FOAM would be a natural fit for this kind of collaborative effort,” explained Michael Lalli, Head Brewer of Choc Beer Company. Like many professional craft brewers, Michael began his brewing career as a homebrewer.

Tulsa-based FOAM is one of the oldest and largest homebrew clubs in the country. “We are very excited that Choc has chosen FOAM for this project. Although we are amateur homebrewers, our members include many national and regional brewing competition winners, former professional brewers, and certified beer judges. FOAM members will bring a great deal of brewing knowledge, skill, and passion to this project,” said Jeff Pursley, FOAM President.

The brewers from Choc and FOAM will collaborate on recipe formulation, and will brew the Wild Brew beer together at the Choc brewery in Krebs, Oklahoma. The beer will again be a Belgian-style India Pale Ale, though the recipe will be new for 2011. This will combine the strength of Choc Beer Company and their award winning Belgian-style Signature ales, with the creative and experimental nature of the FOAM homebrewers.

Wild Brew festival is an annual beer festival held in Tulsa, Oklahoma to benefit the Sutton Avian Research Center. Wild Brew festival 2011 is scheduled for Saturday, July 30th at the Tulsa Fairgrounds Exchange Center. Tickets for the event must be purchased in advance.

Choc Beer Company is a fourth generation, family owned, award winning brewery located in Krebs, Oklahoma. Choc has produced fine beers for four generations. Choc currently produces many year round beers augmented by seasonal releases.
