Love For All

June means Pride month, which means the return of Love For All — a sour ale brewed as a colorful, joyful reminder that everyone deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and welcome. What started as a one-off bright purple sour has become a yearly tradition at Throwback Brewery, with each batch offering a new expression of the same message: kindness, inclusion, and raising a glass to community.

The 2026 version of Love For All Sour Ale will be released on Wednesday, May 27th! The 2026 batch may be our favorite yet. Brewed with hibiscus and blackberries, it pours a stunning deep berry hue and bursts with jammy dark fruit flavor, floral notes, and a lively tart finish. Bright, refreshing, and made for sharing, Love For All is the perfect Pride month pour — eye-catching in the glass and just as memorable in the can.

The 2025 version of Love For All Sour Ale will be released on Sunday, June 1st! We loved the 2024 version of this brew so much, so we decided to make that the official recipe for this ‘once a year’ sour treat. AND, new for this year, we are unveiling a brand new can label, too!

Love For All is a tart, jammy sour that bursts with flavors of fresh blackberries and light, floral kisses of hibiscus. Deeply fruity with a tangy finish, this vibrant brew is our annual toast to Pride—released each June to celebrate that love is love, and that everyone deserves joy, acceptance, and kindness.

The 2024 version of Love For All Sour Ale was made with Blackberry & Hibiscus. It features a tart jam aroma and flavors of fresh dark berries with a lingering fruit tang / “cheek squeezing” tartness. Wait until you see this beauty – Love For All 2024 is a gorgeous dark pinkish / purple-ish red color, making it as lovely to look at as to drink!

The 2023 version of Love For All was crafted with Marionberry, Sumac, and Butterfly Pea Flower Powder, resulting in a beer with a gorgeous deep fuchsia /pinkish purple color, a bright and jammy flavor profile (think blackberry/raspberry), finishing with a touch of earthiness and a lingering tang. It’s the perfect blend of tart and sweet, and we are loving the dark berry aroma, too!

We will also be pouring this beer at the Throwback beer tent at Portsmouth Pride, coming up on June 24th. Hope to see you here – or there! Cheers!

The original Love For All was a bright purple Sour Blonde Ale made with Plum, Sumac, and Butterfly Pea Flower powder. It was tart and earthy with a mild fruitiness from the plums and a lingering citrus tang from the sumac.
