California became the 31st state of the United States on September 9, 1850.
This beer was created to celebrate this auspicious day.
Grapes from the north and oranges from the south, along with a complex combination of malt and fruity hops, give this beer a deep flavor.

On top of that, it has dazzling citrus and grape flavors, with a pleasant bitterness and oak flavor.
The finish is crisp and dry.

California Love
Imperial Red Ale w/ Pinot Noir Grapes, Orange Peel, & Oak
8.5%
Celebrate our great state's birthday and the true collaborative spirit of NorCal and SoCal with a beer brewed with ingredients that represent both areas.
California Love is an imperial red ale that features an extraordinary depth of flavor courtesy of a complex malt bill, an outrageous amount of pungent, fruity hop varieties, as well as unorthodox additions of orange peel, oak, and grapes.
The resulting flavor profile is not unlike a stiff stirred cocktail displaying characteristics of deep caramelized and burnt sugars, dark chocolate, and roast balanced with the brightness of citrus and red fruit culminating in a pleasantly bitter, oaky dry finish.
