Oakland United Beerworks - Limitless Bavarian Hefeweizen
Style: Hefeweizen
ABV: 5.50% IBU: 11.0
rom daring firsts to record-breaking flights, Oakland, California, has played a pivotal role in the legacy of women in aviation.
This beer honors pioneers like Amelia Earhart, who, in 1935, became the first person to fly solo across the Pacific from Honolulu to Oakland. Earhart also departed from Oakland to begin both attempts at world circumnavigation. It celebrates Bessie Coleman, the first African-American pilot, who soared over Oakland dropping advertising leaflets in the 1920s. We raise a glass to Louise Thaden, who claimed the women’s endurance record from Oakland Municipal Airport, and Ruth Nichols, who set a distance record flying from Oakland to Kentucky in 1931. And we honor Lee Ya-Ching, the first woman to get a civil flying license in China, who trained right here in Oakland.
Raise a glass to the women who dared to defy gravity.
