According to "Oaklore," Orange County was originally covered in giant sequoias and oak trees. Loggers naively chopped down trees to make lumber and oak beer mugs. Eventually, seeing an abundance of lumber and a lack of trees, they planted orange groves, figuring harvesting oranges would be much easier than chopping trees down all day long. The orange groves flourished, and the area eventually became known as Orange County. Brewed to lumberjack standards, this brown ale is aged on oak chips, giving its caramel and nutty body a sweet hint of vanilla and oak aroma.
