When Adam Lamoreaux opened the Linden Street Brewery in 2009, it was the first production brewery in the city since 1959. It proved both popular and successful, but closed late last summer due to a company management shift. Lamoreaux has since moved on to a new venture — earlier this month, he and chef James Syhabout (Commis and the since-shuttered Hawker Fare) opened the new Old Kan Beer & Co. in Oakland’s former Dock restaurant on, yes, Linden Street.

And today, the former Linden Street Brewery reopened with a new name — Oakland United Beerworks — with longtime Oakland resident John Karnay and brewmaster Shane Aldrich at the helm.

California Craft Brews: Beer-flavored beer, what a concept! “Oakland United Beerworks is born and bred in Oakland,” Karnay said in a prepared statement. “From the beginning, our mission has been to bring Oaklanders — old and new — together with great brews. Oakland has evolved and grown, and so have we.”

Aldrich (Lagunitas, Moylan’s, Half Moon Bay Brewing and Marin Brewing Company) joined Linden Street last year. Now he’s brewing Oakland United’s beer in small batches in Alameda, with four core beers that include a black lager tribute to classic German Schwarzbier, a pilsner made with floor-malted German Bohemian pilsner malt, a California common lager and an Oakland version of the West Coast IPA, which uses five hop varieties to yield hints of citrus and tropical fruit.

“Oakland’s diversity, artistry and authenticity inspires me and our recipes,” Aldrich says. “We love this town – and we’re excited about growing an Oakland community of beer drinkers and beer makers.”

The company hopes to open the doors to its new brewery and tasting room on Second Street, near Oakland’s Jack London Square, by late summer.
