The Experience, Alameda: Almanac Beer Co. Collaboration

The Experience:

Uva Bruja Debut!

This mystical bright red brew was summoned forth in collaboration with the sorcerers at Casa Bruja Brewing in Panama City, Panama. Uva Bruja (“grape witch” in Spanish) was created by aging Cabernet Sauvignon grape juice in oak barrels for over six months. This unique brew was finished with a dash of coriander and pink Himalayan salt, imparting that classic gose-style brininess.

What is a gose-style beer? It’s a combination of two components – it must be tart, tasting fermented, and it must be salty – a hint of briny. If you have ever had a sour unfiltered beer, you have an idea of the taste. The pronunciation: “Goes-uh”.

With Uva Bruja you’ll enjoy notes of tart vinous grape and soft tannins in each ritual sip, and be sure to pair it with full moons, black ravens, and your favorite coven.

Uva Bruja is available now at Almanac’s taproom and in the online store.

Almanac’s Barrel House, Taproom and Brewery are open 7 days a week: M-Th 12-9pm; F/Sa 12-10pm; Su  12-8pm.Food trucks daily.  (415) 992-3438

The Experience, Alameda: Almanac Beer Co. New Pale Ale

The Experience:

FLOW Pale Ale Release Party + Run + Plants + Music!

Grab your friends and join Almanac Saturday, July 9th from 11:15am – 9pm for a great day of fun and beer tasting. Here’s the lineup:

  • 11:15am Run with East Bay Beer Runners
  • 12-7pm Plant Cultura Pop-up*
  • 6-9pm Big Blu Soul Revue live concert

Almanac is expanding its year-round fresh beer portfolio with a new West Coast pale ale honoring a style that put California craft beer on the map. FLOW Pale Ale (5.5% ABV) fits right into the Almanac family of fresh beers available 12 months of the year along with fan-favorites LOVE Hazy IPA, LOUD! Hazy DIPA, and TRUE Kölsch. FLOW Pale Ale takes a classic West Coast style and brews it for the modern drinker who loves to kick back a cold one (or three!) after a day of kayaking, lazy river rafting, hitting the mountain biking trails or after a run with East Bay Beer Runners!

Dry-hopped with Simcoe and El Dorado, FLOW is full of character with a super light body. “Nothing hits the spot quite like a refreshing West Coast pale ale!” says founder and ceo Damian Fagan. “As the beer style that originally captured my heart, I decided it was time to create a worthy Almanac version. It took over a year of R&D before we nailed the final recipe, but we couldn’t be more excited about the result. FLOW is all about balance. It’s got a huge hop aroma and is bursting with notes of juicy lemon, ripe melon, and fresh berries and pine. The bitterness is restrained, the finish is clean, and the body is light and crisp. FLOW is a simple beer, and it’s just plain delicious.”

The Experience, Alameda: Dashe Cellars Zinfandel

The Experience:

Taste + Stock Up On Zinfandel!

Just in time for summer grilling, Dashe Cellars would like to introduce you to their newest vintage of “Les Enfants Terribles”: the 2018 Mendocino Cuvée Zinfandel, which they offered in a tasting at the Oakland Zoo’s Walk in the Wild fundraiser last weekend.

The fruit was sourced from the Signal Ridge Vineyard in the Mendocino Ridge AVA, the highest vineyard in the appellation. With the kind of bright acidity that is only found in high-altitude fruit, this wine is crisp and juicy with lots of red fruit, and a finish that goes on for days. Pop a bottle in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for a perfect temperature. Wine Enthusiast rates it with 91 points!

Pull a cork, light the grill, and enjoy a glass on its own or pair it with your favorite burger.They have an Anniversary Case Sale that expires next week! Stock up now on your Zinfandel for the weekend!

Dashe also offers “golden hour” specials on Thursdays and Fridays from 5 to 7 p.m. for prime sunset viewing.

Book your table for the weekend.
