Lager or IPA? Solo or crew? However you do it, there’s a spot for you at one of East Brother Beer Co’s locations.

Tam Tavern in Mill Valley has elevated pub fare, fresh beer on tap and a beer garden. Perfect gathering place after your weekend hike or bike ride.

And they created award-winning beer.
