The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co Pride + Purpose Day

The Experience:

Celebrate what makes Richmond strong!

Pride + Purpose Day is more than a taproom event—it’s a celebration of Richmond.

Friday, April 18th, the crew at East Brother is opening their doors and their hearts for their Second Annual Pride + Purpose Day—an afternoon of good beer, great food and giving back to the community they call home.

From 3–9pm, 10% of all taproom sales will go to Richmond Promise, a nonprofit working to ensure every Richmond student has a pathway to higher education. You can invest in the next generation of leaders, dreamers and changemakers.

Between sips of award-winning beer and bites from Mr. Dim Sum, you can connect with the Richmond Promise team from 5–6pm and learn about their work.

While there try their latest Seasonals Series Begian Tripel. They teamed up with Admiral Maltings to create this golden ale that delivers aromatic spice, fruity esters and a crisp, dry finish – all backed by Admirals’s locally malted barley.

Get on down to the taproom for some beer tasting and your favorite food trucks.

HOURS: Wed, Thurs, Fri, 3-9pm; Saturday & Sunday, 11am – 9pm.

(510) 230-4081.

​Why is it called a Provenance Dinner? Come and you’ll see.
