The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co in the News

The Experience:

Top 10 Bay Area Breweries!

In a recent article The Mercury News named East Brother Beer Co one of the Top Ten Bay Area Breweries. The team had visited 100 breweries in the Bay Area and then made their choices.

“East Brother was among the first breweries I visited for this series, and it still is one of the best. Founded in late 2017 by childhood friends Rob Lightner and Chris Coomber, its beauty lies in being untrendy, preferring to make excellent versions of long-established styles.” – Jay Brooks

Congrats, East Brother. And it’s so true. Can’t beat that award-winning Bo Pils – Bohemian style, golden with a lemony noble hop character and a light, grainy finish (and lower caloric). For lighter fare, also try their Blonde Ale – it’s an American Classic with 4.2% ABV!

Food Truck Lineup:

  • Thurs 1/18 – Smokeland BBQ, 3-9pm
  • Fri 1/19 – Snapper Seafood, 4-9pm
  • Sat 1/20 – Rock Club Burgers, 11am-9pm
  • Sun 1/21 – Rock Club Burgers, 11am-9pm

Grab your friends and get down to East Brother’s taproom for some fresh beer and tasty bites!
