The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co. SF Rec Room Tasty Bites

The Experience:

East Brother’s take on the American hoppy ale Gold IPA:

It’s built on the classics; brewed for now. Bright on the nose, bold on the palate, and finished clean and dry. Inspired by the West Coast IPAs that helped define a generation of craft beer, this one stays rooted in the fundamentals. A classic ale base, a thoughtful hop bill and just enough wheat in the grain bill to add body and texture without stealing the spotlight.

What you’ll notice first:

  • Bright citrus and pine aromatics
  • A hop-forward flavor that stays balanced
  • A dry, clean finish that keeps you coming back

This is an IPA that respects where the style came from: no gimmicks, no shortcuts. Just a well-built ale, designed to last. Find it at their taprooms, to-go, shipped in CA, or through select retailers: https://bit.ly/49pTT24
