New Belgium Brewing San Francisco launches Love Conquers Ale craft beer

New Belgium Brewing San Francisco, located near both the San Francisco Giants and the Golden State Warriors facilities and the Mission Bay neighborhood, has released its Love Conquers Ale beer in its first-ever collaboration with Sam Adams.

The in-house brewed ale is made with Sam Adams’s recipe with coriander and basil-infused lemon peel, but made with blackberry modifications you can only find at the in-house San Francisco New Belgium brewery.

The ale has a 5.5% ABV and will only be made in Boston, Denver, and San Francisco. The canned ale will be available only in those cities, along with New Belgium’s hometown of Fort Collins, in a four-pack of 16 oz. cans for $16 with a limited draft available.

100% of the proceeds will be donated to GLAAD. GLAAD “rewrites the script for LGBTQ acceptance”. As a dynamic media force, GLAAD tackles tough issues to shape the narrative and provoke dialogue that leads to cultural change. GLAAD protects all that has been accomplished and aims to create a world where everyone can live the life they love.

The beer is now available in the taproom and is also available for online purchase.
