Locked brake determined after takeoff. Log book was clear of any MEL items beyond cabin. Preflight; start; and taxi was normal. Taxi out was normal; no noticeable abnormal indications. We did taxi to West side for takeoff; parking on East side. During climb passing FL200 ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) HOT BRAKE indications. Followed ECAM procedure; left outboard brake was approximately 300 while others indicated 150-90. After procedure left outboard brake cooled to below 200 during flight. Other brakes all indicted well below 100. Contacted Maintenance Control; discussed issue and continued flight. Maintenance advised destination airport of our issue. Rolled out using no brake or auto brake; stopped off active to have left brakes inspected by ARF (Aircraft Rescue Fire). No noted damage; left brake heated above others. Noted a small pull to left during roll out. With left engine shut down we taxied to gate with ARF following. Did not use left brake; with brake fans in use all brakes remained cool but left outboard was still much hotter. Contract maintenance inspected brake; jacked left truck found left outboard tire locked. Aircraft was taken out of service as a brake replacement was determined. There is no procedure available to follow in this instance. From past experienced we did the best we could. As a side note this is the second occurrence of the same issue I've experienced. Several items of note; the next morning we were delayed due to a Landing Rights Message. Searching the FM (Flight Manual) I found no reference. This would be a valuable addition to help captains get a better idea when ferrying an aircraft out of [a foreign country]. Lastly; and equaling important- this is the second occurrence I have encountered with a locked brake. There is no guidance in any manner for landing with a locked brake that we could find. It would be helpful to have a checklist to aid us. I realize that this is not available in any of the half dozen fleets I've flown but this is the only aircraft I've flown that this has occurred.
A319 Captain experiences an ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) HOT BRAKE warning climbing through FL200 and the ECAM actions are accomplished to cool the left outboard brake. During landing a slight pull to the left is detected although the left brakes are not used. The left outboard brake begins to heat up again during taxi in and maintenance takes the aircraft out of service.
