New Releases
SCRUM-PTIOUS GATOR
West Coast IPA 6.5% ABV
Andrew Ritter loved: family, friends, beer, and rugby. He channeled his unbridled enthusiasm into brewing for Oakland United Beerworks and helping start San Francisco State University’s Gator rugby team. He would laugh deeply and toast, “Drink beer, slay dragon!” When he died at 31 from ALS, we lost a dear son, brother, friend, brewer, and teammate. Andrew, we love and miss you! Each year, we brew a beer to raise funds for the ALS Therapy Development Institute. By buying and enjoying this beer you further these efforts, honor Andrew, and bring us all closer to a cure. Your support has helped make OUB a top contributor to Ales for ALS. Thank you!
HBC 638, Citra, Talus CRYO hops.
LUCKY DOG (FT. RICKEY)
Hazy IPA 6% ABV
Meet Rickey: a one-of-a-kind “tripawd” with three legs, a wiggly butt, and an endless zest for life. After being rescued from an illegal pig snare on the Big Island of Hawaii, Rickey lost his front right leg—but not his spark. He made his way to the Berkeley Humane Society and quickly found his forever home with Allyson and Thomas. For Thomas, who experienced a spinal cord injury 13 years ago, Rickey’s determination and adaptability have been a source of inspiration—a testament to the idea that joy isn’t limited by circumstance.
As a regular at Oakland United, Rickey won hearts with his playful energy, squirrel-chasing skills, and sleepy little trademark- his tongue slipping through the gap in his teeth as he quietly dozed off.
Here’s to Rickey—resilient, goofy, and totally unstoppable.
Mosaic, Talus, Chinook hops.
MIGRATION
West Coast IPA 6% ABV
Every spring and fall, migratory birds travel the Pacific Flyway, a major North-South migratory route that stretches between Alaska and Patagonia. Lake Merritt, established in 1870 as the nation’s first government-owned wildlife refuge, serves as an important rest stop for these waterfowl during their migrations. The lake is home to over 100 different types of birds throughout the year, making Oakland a haven for birds and bird watchers alike.
Enigma, Eclipse hops.
REDWOOD
Red Ale 5.5% ABV
In the heart of the Oakland hills stand the quiet giants that inspired this beer. While the Bay Area is often associated with bustling neighborhoods, historic industry, and vibrant cultural movements, Oakland’s redwood forests tell another story—one of endurance, renewal, and connection to the land.
The most famous of these groves can be found at Aurelia Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, where second-growth redwoods rise as living reminders of the ancient forests that once covered the East Bay. Centuries before colonization, the Ohlone people lived among these trees, shaping their lives in harmony with the land. Today, one last sentinel from those original old-growth forests—the aptly named Old Survivor—still stands tall and serves as a bridge between Oakland’s deep past and its living present.
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.
