Oakland United Beerworks

Oakland United Beerworks is a collaborative gathering place where we unite and inspire our community

Oakland is and always has been a beer town; a place where hard-working people would gather together to enjoy locally brewed, fresh beer. As the local population grew, Oakland was affectionately referred to as the "Milwaukee of the West" for its numerous neighborhood-based breweries. Founded in 2009 as Linden Street Brewery, we became the first community-based production brewery in Oakland since Go

Scrum-ptious Gator West Coast IPA was canned just a week ago, but Andrew will forever be in our hearts đŸ«¶đŸŒ

Photos from Oakland United Beerworks's post 07/21/2024

We wanted to share a little about our label design from our latest beer release and some family photos. Each year, we brew a special beer for Ales for ALS in memory of our friend and son, Andrew Ritter, a founding brewer at Linden Street who we lost to ALS at 31. Andrew’s legacy lives on here as we honor his passion for family, friends, beer, and rugby.

Andrew also helped start San Francisco State University’s Gator rugby team. To honor him, the Ritter family thought up a fun label idea featuring gators playing rugby, reflecting Andrew’s spirit, his love for the sport, and his connection to the SF Gators.

We’re sharing these family photos of Andrew playing rugby to celebrate the joy and energy he brought to the sport. These images capture his enthusiasm and the camaraderie he cherished with his teammates, and we hope they bring a sense of his vibrant presence as you enjoy this special tribute beer.

When you enjoy a glass of Scrum-ptious Gator West Coast IPA, don’t forget to toast, “Drink Beer, Slay Dragon!”

We love you, Andrew!

Our special Ales for ALS Tribute Beer is dropping TOMORROW in the taproom!

Think you can tackle the challenge of guessing our new tribute beer’s name? Scroll over to score a before the release look at our can design. Drop your name ideas in the comments!

Don’t miss your chance to try this beer before the Ales for ALS event next week. Join us Friday, 7/19, for the release of our Annual ALS Andrew Ritter Tribute Beer! Each year, we proudly partner with Ales for ALS to craft a beer in honor of our beloved colleague and friend, Andrew Ritter. Andrew, the eldest son of Chris and Jill Ritter, was one of the original brewers at Linden Street. His battle with ALS deeply touched us all, and we brew this beer to honor his legacy and support the fight against this devastating disease.

A portion of the proceeds from every purchase will be donated to the ALS Therapy Development Institute, so not only will you be enjoying a fantastic beer, but you’ll also be contributing to a great cause.

And remember, when you have a glass of this Gator beer, don’t forget to toast, “Drink Deer, Slay Dragon!”  We love you, Andrew!

NEW BEER RELEASE đŸ»

Introducing our latest iteration of our rotating Lucky Dog Hazy IPA!

Meet our newest Lucky Dogs: Holly, Sammy, and Boo Boo, winners of the Friends of Oakland Animal Services (FOAS) Gala auction prize, which gave them the opportunity to be featured on one of our Lucky Dog labels. Holly and Sammy are Oakland’s beloved 10-year-old rescue duo and top foster pros for OAS. These sweet seniors love snuggling, napping, and spreading joy to everyone they meet! Boo Boo, named by his loving fosters after being injured, is a sweet and sensitive 5-month-old pittie shelter pup who loves face massages, napping, playing with stuffed toys, and snacking!

The winner of the Gala auction prize is a newer addition to the Oakland Animal Services family and was mentored by one of OAS’s hardest-working members, Julianne. She wanted to honor her former foster puppy, Boo Boo, and also showcase Julianne’s pups, Holly and Sammy, as a “thank you” for all the hard work Julianne does for FOAS and OAS. So, all three are our newest Lucky Dogs!

Generously hopped with Vista, Taiheke, and Strata, this Hazy IPA features aromas of strawberry, mango, lychee, guava, orange, and peach, with subtle notes of rose and honey.

Lucky Dog Hazy IPA is now on tap and available to go in 4-packs, crowlers, and growlers. Join us in the taproom to try it today!
