The Experience, Emeryville: Ohana Cannabis Co. Expansion
The Experience: Ohana grows its footprint! When we were out touring Emeryville, we happened upon Nasser Azimi, president of Ohana Cannabis, and he had some great news for us. They have now opened up shop across the Bay. According to Nasser, “Ohana Cannabis expanded its Emeryville flagship success into San Francisco, Sacramento, Palm Springs, and soon, into the Grand Lake area of Oakland!” One of the elements propelling their success as we know in Emeryville is that their Cannabis Consultants are experienced and knowledgeable about both therapeutic and recreational products. Ask a question and they explain the product’s use and proper application and teach you about micro-dosing to get the best result. They are there for you and the experience you desire. And now our friends across the Bay can have this experience as new customers. Their new dispensary is located at 1256 Mission St in SF
The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co. This Weekend
The Experience: Taproom: your summertime getaway! You are invited to join your friends down at the East Brother taproom to cool off this week with a cold pint of Blonde Ale, a light-bodied, easy-drinking beer made in the classic style. If you haven't tried it, this weekend is the time. It took the production team six months to craft the perfect recipe. The result is a crisp and clean ale with subtle malt sweetness and a dry finish, making it incredibly drinkable and perfect for any occasion. Blonde Ale is brewed with a combination of pilsner and wheat malts, which give it its light color and body, and is hopped with East Kent Goldings and Loral for a low to medium hop bitterness. It's a sessionable (lower in alcohol) beer that pairs well with sunshine and good company.Here's the food truck lineup:Thursday, July 13 - Golden Gate Bistro
