Los Angeles, California-based Old Pal, one of the top-selling names in the cannabis lifestyle space, is launching its first signature beer – Old Pal Ale. Brewed in small batches and available in 4-pack 16oz cans, the company describes the ale as light and refreshing, with a soft malt sweetness, a touch of hops and notes of sweet citrus, honey, floral and ripe berry.
A number of beer brands like Pabst and Lagunitas look to cannabis companies to expand their reach, and with Aphria’s acquisition of Sweetwater Brewing, the cannabis and brewing cross pollination is accelerating. Old Pal is joining this effort by collaborating on a traditional ale that does not include THC or CBD – it’s just brewed to be beer.
“If 2020 has shown us anything, it’s that we all need to find ways to create shareable experiences with our friends and community, so we worked to create OPA to give our community another way to come together,” said Charlie Cangialosi, Old Pal’s COO and former Anheuser-Busch InBev executive.
In addition, the ale can is designed by the company’s creative partner, LAND, which has defined a look for other recognizable brands in the beverage space, like Stumptown Coffee and Madre Mezcal.
This announcement comes shortly after news of the growth of the Old Pal Brand into Oklahoma, marking the fourth state where the company’s cannabis products can be found.
