Oakland United Beerworks

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 Golden West Brewery closed in the 1950s. 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. With the support of a team of dedicated Oakland craft beer enthusiasts, Oakland United is proud to continue the great beer brewing tradition in Oakland.

MEET ME AT SWEET’S!

Our newest b**r has officially hit the taproom and we're ready to get this party started!

Inspired by Oakland’s legendary Sweet’s Ballroom, where jazz greats like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and a young Frank Sinatra once took the stage, Meet Me At Sweet’s Amber L***r is a tribute to Oakland’s rich musical history and a city that’s always known how to find its rhythm.

At 5.4% ABV, this smooth, malt-forward l***r brings notes of biscuit, brown sugar, caramel, and dates. If you loved our Zapatos After Dark, this one's for you!

Available on draft and in 4-packs to go. Fresh off the canning line today.

Come raise a glass to Oakland’s unforgettable nights and the dance floors where the good times are still flowing.

MEET DAISY — OUR NEWEST LUCKY DOG! 🍺🐾

Our newest Lucky Dog Hazy IPA is officially here, and this release features a very special member of the OUB family: Daisy, the beloved 12-year-old blue nose pitty of Chelsea, one of our longest-tenured team members and an integral part of our crew. ❤️

Daisy came into Chelsea’s life unexpectedly in 2020 and has been her shadow ever since. In her younger days, she was happiest running, playing, and swimming in just about any body of water she could find. These days, Daisy has embraced a slower pace: sunny afternoons on the back porch, naps in her favorite spot on the couch, and keeping her favorite people close.

She also has PLENTY of personality. Daisy communicates primarily through piglet-like grunts, snores louder than anyone else in the house, lives with a cat that bullies her, and has absolutely perfected both the classic pitbull side-eye and puppy-dog pout.

We couldn't think of a better pup to feature on our newest Lucky Dog can.
And the b**r inside is pretty special, too.

This IPA is brewed with Citra, Mosaic & Strata hops, with huge aromas of guava, mango, passion fruit, pineapple, lemon, and orange.

On draft NOW with fresh 4-packs available to-go in the taproom.

JOIN US THIS FRIDAY FOR DAISY'S RELEASE PARTY! 🎉🍻

Come raise a glass with us on Friday as we celebrate Daisy & Chelsea and officially welcome this very good girl to the Lucky Dog family.

OAKLAND B**R CLUB MEMBERS: We've got an extra treat for you! All members who have signed up before Friday can enjoy a pint of Lucky Dog for just $3 at the release party! Not a member yet? Download the Oakland United B**rworks app and join the Oakland B**r Club before Friday to get in on the deal!

Cheers to Daisy!
