Valentine's Day at the Beer Garden

This Valentine’s Day, we’re sharing the love the best way we know how—by brewing a beer with heart. We Love LA is part of an international fundraising collaboration uniting breweries and beer lovers to support the United Way of Greater Los Angeles’s Wildfire Response Fund, providing aid to those impacted by the devastating LA wildfires.

Smooth and malt-forward with a clean finish and a touch of lingering sweetness, We Love LA is as easy to love as it is to drink. Willamette hops bring a subtle floral note, rounding out this crisp, crushable brew.

And what’s love without a little indulgence? We’ve got Red Velvet and Peanut Butter Cake on deck—get two beers and a cake for just $15! Don’t want to share? We don’t blame you. Add an extra cake for just $5.

Plus, we’re shaking things up with two special Valentine’s cocktails:
🍯 Bee Mine – Peregrine Gin, Pomegranate Juice, Lemon, & Honey Syrup
🍓☕ Strawberry Chocolate Espresso Martini – Tito’s, Strawberry Syrup, Crème de Cacao, & Espresso

Raise a glass, sip something special, and spread the love! 💙🍻
