The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co New Beers

The Experience:

Lots of choices for your beer palate!

Thinking about  summer travels? Longing for the warm beaches of Mexico? Wish no longer. East Brother’s Mexican Lager now comes in six-packs! Cold, crisp and built to last. Brewed the right way, true to style, and easy-drinking every time. Find it at the taproom, your favorite retailers or on draft across California.

That’s not all they’re brewing up.

They are introducing their Seasonal Release Series—four beers, a perfect balance of ales and lagers, crafted with their dedication to timeless styles:

  • Belgian Tripel – Bold, complex, and beautifully golden.
  • Pre-Pro Lager – A nod to the crisp, flavorful lagers of pre-Prohibition America.
  • Festbier – A smooth, malty Märzen-style lager
  • Dunkel – Rich, toasty, and endlessly drinkable.

By focusing on four distinctive beers, they’re making sure each one gets the attention it deserves—so you can enjoy time-honored styles at their best. Which one are you trying first?

Get on down to the taproom for some beer tasting and your favorite food trucks.

The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co Big News

The Experience:

More Tanks. More Beer!

They’ve come a long way since 2017, when they started brewing with just enough tanks to make 620 barrels of beer.

East Brother just added five new 120-barrel fermenters (according to their crew, that’s the equivalent of five swimming pools of beer!) and a new brite tank to store the beer after fermentation. Plus, some new equipment:

  • A cartoner to help them package beer faster
  • A towering new grain silo
  • A centrifuge to make their beer crystal clear
  • And a new floor scrubber to keep everything spotless!

Grab your friends and head down for a  visit. You’ll notice a little more hustle and bustle.and tanks so tall they almost touch the ceiling.. But rest assured, it’s still the same East Brother you know and love, just on a larger scale.

They can’t wait for you to see the progress.

Your favorite food trucks will be rolling in so you can savor some tasty bites while having a pint and surveying the new tanks.  (510) 230-4081.
