East Brother Releases Freighter Series DOUBLE IPA June 1st!

On Saturday, June 1st East Brother Beer Co. releases their first Double IPA — the latest in their new Freighter Series — a doubled-up homage to a classic West Coast style IPA. “It’s brewed with a big tropical aroma and balanced bitter finish,” says co-founder Rob Lightner. “This one is sure to transport you to beer days gone by.”

Cans and Draft will be available day of in the taproom and wherever you find East Brother beer in your neck of the woods. If you have not yet visited, it’s time you do. Wed. night is rec night and all other days there are food trucks, games, bocce, ping pong, and more!

Almanac Launches Hypernova Volume One!

Prepare for hyperspace! Hypernova Volume One launches from the intergalactic depths of the Almanac Barrel House.

Hypernova Volume One is a 100% mixed-culture fermented sour alien drank aged in oak barrels with megatons of citrons, pomelos, grapefruit, cherries, black currants, vanilla beans & a touch of lactose (milk sugar). Hypernova Volume One is their first ever barrel-aged sour beer created with lactose – with the highest fruit content in a beer, yet at close to 125lbs per barrel!

“Hypernova is an experiment in the combination of aromatic citrus with the intense flavors of cherry and black currants,” according to Brewmaster, Phillip Emerson. “The experience is amplified by a creamy lactose mouthfeel with a subtle sweetness, and finishes with an olfactory overload from the addition of whole vanilla beans. It is true intergalactic decadence.”

Hypernova is now available at the Almanac Barrel House, Brewery and Taproom in Alameda with a very limited distribution in 4-packs of 16oz cans and 5.2gal draft until sold out!

Hours: Mon – Thurs, 12-9pm; Fri/Sat 12-10pm; Sun 12-6pm. 651 W. Tower Ave on Alameda Point in Alameda. 415.992.3438

Armistice Brings Back “Wort Art” Hazy Double IPA in 16 oz. cans!

Armistice Brewing Co. brings back “Wort Art” Hazy Double IPA  in 16oz cans! This beer has the classic, Armistice mouthfeel thanks to the ridiculous amount of oats and wheat. Then we added an insane dose of Citra, Ekuanot, and Simcoe hops which give it bursting flavors of citrus and guava.

WHO:

Come see Craig Browning play jazz on the Hammond Organ as few can.  And listen to Jeff Tauber play the classics,  from Gershwin to Porter, on Tenor and Soprano Saxes. Accompanied by Kevin Blackmon on drums.  According to Tauber, “We’ve been playing as an Organ/Sax based combo since 2016. There are no other Hammond Organ/Saxophone based jazz bands playing gigs in the Bay area anymore (if you’ve ever tried to move a 400 pound Hammond organ from gig to gig, you know why). Craig and I play the ‘Great American Songbook’.”

Music Double Header in Downtown Pt. Richmond Tonight!

Pt. Richmond Summer Concert!

WHEN: Friday, September 14, 5:30-7:45pm

Achilles Wheel

WHERE: Corner of Park Place and Washington Ave in Pt. Richmond

WHO:

5:30p – 6:30p Achilles Wheel  – Music: High-Energy Roots, World & Rock & Roll

  • “Their sound comes across as both Old School and New School and is riddled with great songwriting. The one thing that rises to the surface as you get to know this band is that supporting the benefit of our human condition is foremost in their work. They play hard as a way to break down walls and celebrate life. The idealism that they embraced as younger men has not diminished in the harsh light of the modern world as we struggle to live freely and have a good time, and in the end, hopefully matter. Achilles Wheel fearlessly sings out to these times.” Achilles Wheel website

Take a listen

6:45p – 7:45p Ruckatan Latin Tribe – Music: Latin, Reggae, Caribbean

Ruckatan Latin Tribe

  • Rúckatan Latin Tribe is composed of seven players who have all contributed to the local Latin Rock scene in the Bay Area and internationally with various Latin, Reggae and Rock acts. Rúckatan is a fusion of Latin and Reggae.
