East Brother Beer Co. has pledged to donate 20% of the proceeds from the sales of their Freighter Series Beers to their namesake, East Brother Light Station. This is a series of beers inspired by the same ships that the light station guides.

“Way before we started making beer,” comments co-owner Rob Lichtner, “we had the difficult job of figuring out what we were going to call ourselves. While driving across the Richmond/San Rafael bridge one day, we noticed a building in the middle of the Bay: East Brother Light Station. Built in 1873, the light station has watched over the San Pablo/San Francisco Bays for over 140 years. We knew right then that East Brother was the name for us.”

On April 1, 2021, the Lighthouse’s only source of power, an underwater cable, stopped working, leaving the Bed & Breakfast on the Island inoperable. They are currently trying to raise $150,000 to help finance an alternative source of energy. “We’re committed to doing everything we can to help!” continues Rob. “And that’s right; we’re bringing back your favorite Ales for a good cause.”

They’ll have English Strong, Belgian Tripel, and Russian Imperial Stout available on tap. So, get on down to the taproom and enjoy a pint, or take a growler home. La Santa Torta is at the brewery daily.
