What Oakland's weather means for breweries
Oakland sees few days at 90°F or more, about 6 days a year, and September averages a high of 74°F, so a long-sleeve tee or light crewneck sells beside the summer tees. Winter is mild by most measures, with January averaging a high of 58°F, so a midweight hoodie and a crewneck cover November to March, the months under 65°F, and heavy fleece can stay a small order. Rain is light enough here that an outdoor release can be planned with little risk of a washout, and a brimmed cap earns its place for sun on the patio.

Ordering from Oakland
When should a taproom in Oakland lean on tees and caps instead of fleece?
Lean on tees from June to October, when highs reach 70°F or more, and on hoodies and beanies through the cool months; in the weeks between, a long sleeve or light crewneck does the work.
