The Experience, Alameda: Faction Brewing Co Class

The Experience:

Pints + Bread-making!

Beer and bread – name a more iconic duo. On March 20, 7:30-8pm, Faction Brewing is teaming up with Grainbakers for a spent grain bread-making class right there in their taproom.

At the end of the brewer’s day, you will use the brewery’s fresh, spent grain and work it into a beautiful artisan bread dough. You can customize your bread by adding various flavors from their spice selection, including:

  • UBE Purple Sweet Potato
  • Cinnamon Raisin
  • Rosemary & Sea Salt

Delve into the science behind brewing and explore sustainability in the craft beer industry. You’ll learn about brewer’s spent grain, why it’s considered a superfood, and how to incorporate it into bread.

It will be fun to sip, mix, knead, and craft your own delicious loaf to take home to bake.
Spots are limited. You knead to grab your tickets now. https://www.grainbakers.com/…/breadmaking-class-at…

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.

Whether you need a cozy corner or the whole space, the crew at East Brother will make it a gathering to remember. More info on party space: info@eastbrotherbeer.com

Rich roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes give it that perfect winter warmth, but the ‘lagering’ process keeps each sip clean and smooth. Available on draft and in cans at the taproom.

Food trucks are rolling in every night, so swing by and grab a pint (or two) while you enjoy some of the best bites in town.
