New Releases
TOWN CATS (FT. PEPPER)
West Coast IPA 6.5% ABV
We partnered with Oakland’s own Cat Town to find a fine feline friend to grace the label of our inaugural Town Cats West Coast IPA. The winner of the grand prize at their summer fundraising auction was Pepper! As described by her loving humans, “Pepper is living her best life! Once a scrappy street dweller, she’s now a pampered house cat. She spends her dotage on plush cushions, snacking on treats, and getting ear scritches. Her favorite activities are sunbathing and purring while her adoring humans brush her. She is proof that the Cat Town formula works! Love + Time = Magic.”
Aromas of pine and eucalyptus with resinous undertones and lemon-lime, lemongrass, and black pepper notes.
Galaxy, Mosaic, and Vista hops.
Lucky Dog (ft. Scottie)
Hazy IPA 6.5% ABV
We’re honoring a Lucky Dog from our community who recently crossed the rainbow bridge, Scottie. As described by his loving human, “Scottie was a willful, handsome teenager when we met 11 years ago. In his early years, he was a formidable hunter- deer, geese, squirrels, mice, and even lizards were all fair game. In his later years, he roamed Jack London Square as though he were mayor, bringing smiles to all who met him. Always, he was my little ball of cuteness, light, and comic relief. He is sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.”
Aromas of nectarine, peach, papaya, and pineapple with cantaloupe, bread dough, and honey notes.
Citra, Azacca, and Chinook hops.
Sleeping Car Giants
Baltic Porter 9.0% ABV
Pullman Porters, the railroad porters employed by the Pullman Palace Car Company, were a conduit of new information and ideas from the wider world to their communities thanks to their extensive travels. America’s first all-Black union, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, established their West Coast headquarters in Oakland. Importantly, the formation of this union helped advance the broader Civil Rights Movement.
Aromas of brown sugar, chocolate with toffee, coffee, mildly bitter.
Seventh Street Blues
West Coast Pilsner 5.2% ABV
Oakland is considered one of the biggest contributors to what was called “West Coast Blues.” After the Pullman Porters and their families established their homes in Oakland, the city began to flourish and Seventh Street became the entertainment and social center for the community. Big Town Records, owned by Bob Geddins (considered the Godfather of Oakland Blues), was a recording studio located on 7th and Center Street that churned out top hits. Slim Jenkins Supper Club was the place to see and be seen, hosting big-name acts like B.B. King, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and Nat King Cole.
Aromas of grapefruit, lime, green tea, and white bread.
Tahoma, Cascade, Strata, and Comet hops.
ABOUT OAKLAND UNITED BEERWORKS
Our Story
Founded in 2009 as Linden Street Brewery, we became the first community-based production brewery in Oakland since Golden West Brewery closed in the 1950s.
our team
Oakland is and always has been a beer town; a place where hard-working people would gather together to enjoy locally brewed, fresh beer.
OUB brewery
In 2017, following the sale of our building on Linden Street to a new developer, we moved our operations to the waterfront Jack London District and rebranded as Oakland United Beerworks.
