The Experience, Emeryville: Ohana Cannabis Co. CBD Beverages

The Experience:

We’re talkin’ river float and the sun is out and there’s no cell reception!

Summertime and here’s a non-alcoholic beverage to try. Smooth and unexpected, refreshing and not too sweet, a Lemon Lavender Cann will leave you feeling perfectly social and just a little buzzed. Have one or so – it’s just the right amount of lift wrapped up in a delicious beverage. Ingredients: carbonated water, organic lemon juice, organic agave nectar, cannabis extract, natural lavender flavor. 2mg THC & 4mg CBD Per Cann

Here’s how CANN describes it:

“How much fun are we talking here? We’re talking river float and the sun is out and there’s no cell reception.  We’re talking just arrived at the Airbnb and it has a sauna–with a TV inside. It feels like you’re you, feeling fun and not worried about what’s next. TLDR: For the perfect night out and a clear morning after.”

A low dose of THC will hit you like a gentle wave designed for modern life and the life of the party. Shop online here. https://sweede.io/dispensary/ohana-cannabis-emeryville

The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co Summer Beer

The Experience:

Your beer. The way you like it.

You open the fridge. There it is—lined up, cold, ready. East Brother Blonde Ale. Not just a beer, but your beer. The one that doesn’t need an occasion, because it is the occasion.

Pours a rich golden, crystal clear with that perfect white head. You catch the subtle aroma—bread crust and honey, a whisper of earthy hops.

First sip? Smooth, crisp, a touch of grainy sweetness. Every sip reminds you: this is what beer’s supposed to taste like. It’s not flashy. It’s not trying too hard. It’s just right. A fridge staple, brewed with intention in Richmond.

A blonde ale is an easy-drinking beer that is visually appealing and has no particularly dominating malt or hop characteristics. It’s an American classic known for its simplicity. And it’s light –  ABV: 4.2%

Order online or get on down to East Brother to stock up for those laid-back summer evenings.

Weekend food truck lineup:

  • Thu, Jun 19 – Golden Gate Bistro
  • Fri, Jun 20 – Global Express Catering
