Founded in 2021, Emeryville-based Wondrous Brewing Co. has quickly established itself as a destination brewery for the East Bay. Owner and brewer Wynn Whisenhunt has been brewing beer professionally in Northern California for the past ten years, with stints at various breweries before starting his dream project.
We met Wynn earlier this year and found several parallels in how we approach our respective work––championing handmade quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail in everything we do. This collaboration features a natural pairing that highlights the best of both brands: an insulated Cooler Tote and a limited edition West Coast Pils titled "Chill 'Em With Kindness".
The Cooler Tote is designed to fit two 4-packs of Wondrous’ 16oz cans, with plenty of room for additional items––a bottle of wine, ice, snacks, etc. The insulated and leakproof liner keeps your refreshments cool in transit, and allows the bag to double as an ice chest once you get there.
Chill ’Em With Kindness is a vibrant, hop forward, Pilsner style beer. Super crisp, balanced, and refreshing with notes of fresh citrus, key lime pie, and tropical fruit.
The Cooler Tote is available at ILE in-store and online, and both the Cooler Tote and Chill ’Em With Kindness are available at Wondrous Brewing Co. in Emeryville. Check out more of the production process below:
