Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our fresh California beers.
Where do you ship your beer?
Due to complex state laws, we currently only ship our beers to addresses within the state of California. All shipments require an adult signature (21+) upon delivery.
How should I store my Almanac beer?
To maintain peak freshness and flavor profile, we recommend keeping all of our beers refrigerated at all times. This is especially important for our IPAs and fruit-forward sours.
Are your beers vegan-friendly?
The vast majority of our beers are vegan. We do not use isinglass or gelatin in our clarifying process. If a specific seasonal release contains lactose or honey, it will be clearly listed on the label.
Can I return beer if I change my mind?
Per California law, we cannot accept returns of alcoholic beverages unless the product is spoiled or unfit for consumption. If you have an issue with your order, please contact our support team.
Do you offer local pickup?
Yes! You can place an order online and select 'Local Pickup' at checkout to collect your beer directly from our Alameda Brewery & Taproom during regular business hours.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay for a seamless checkout experience.
