The beer. Good Beer Hunting (their design company) said that when they sat down to talk about East Brother’s image they asked about the beers and breweries that inspired them “… there was a common element — timelessness, and a commitment to precision.” There is a lot of experimentation and innovation out there in the craft beer market. “We are not trying to do anything fancy,” says Rob. ” We are crafting well known traditional styles. We’re doing the same thing over and over again – striving for perfection. We want to have a diversity of lagers and ales.”
Food trucks are at the taproom Wed. – Sun. On Thursdays Curbside Kitchen is there serving up Gourmet Filipino-American grub. Full menu
