The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co Summer Beer

The Experience:

Your beer. The way you like it.

You open the fridge. There it is—lined up, cold, ready. East Brother Blonde Ale. Not just a beer, but your beer. The one that doesn’t need an occasion, because it is the occasion.

Pours a rich golden, crystal clear with that perfect white head. You catch the subtle aroma—bread crust and honey, a whisper of earthy hops.

First sip? Smooth, crisp, a touch of grainy sweetness. Every sip reminds you: this is what beer’s supposed to taste like. It’s not flashy. It’s not trying too hard. It’s just right. A fridge staple, brewed with intention in Richmond.

A blonde ale is an easy-drinking beer that is visually appealing and has no particularly dominating malt or hop characteristics. It’s an American classic known for its simplicity. And it’s light –  ABV: 4.2%

Order online or get on down to East Brother to stock up for those laid-back summer evenings.

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.
