What styles of beer does East Brother brew?

We brew timeless, classic styles — no gimmicks. Our core lineup includes Bohemian Pilsner, Red Lager, Mexican Lager, Blonde Ale, Oatmeal Stout, Red IPA, and Gold IPA, along with rotating seasonal releases. Whether you love crisp lagers or bold ales, there’s a beer here for you.

What are the two main types of beer?

All beers fall into one of two families: ales or lagers, based on the yeast and fermentation process. Lagers (like our Bohemian Pilsner, Red Lager, and Mexican Lager) are fermented cold and slow, producing crisp, clean flavors. Ales (like our Blonde Ale, Red IPA, Gold IPA, and Oatmeal Stout) ferment warm and fast, creating more expressive, bold, or fruity characteristics.

What’s a Bohemian Pilsner?

This traditional Czech-style lager is known for its light body, crisp malt flavor, and balanced hop character. Our Bo Pils is a clean, citrusy, and easy-drinking version of the style — endlessly refreshing and true to tradition.

How would you describe the taste of East Brother beers?

Our beers are clean, balanced, and brewed to style. We don’t chase trends — we honor tradition. Each beer is made to be approachable and easy to enjoy, whether you're a seasoned craft drinker or just getting started.

Do you use traditional brewing methods?

Absolutely. Every batch is brewed with attention to detail, precision instrumentation, and respect for historical brewing techniques. We use high-quality ingredients, stick to style guidelines, and focus on consistency from tank to tap.

Are your beers filtered, vegan, or gluten-free?

Most of our beers are filtered for clarity and consistency. While we do not use animal products in our brewing or filtering process, we do not officially claim our beers are vegan, as we can’t confirm that every ingredient from every supplier meets vegan standards. Our beers are not gluten-free, as they’re brewed with malted barley.

What foods pair well with your beers?

Bohemian Pilsner: Grilled chicken, seafood, pretzels. Red Lager: Roasted pork, mac & cheese, sausages. Mexican Lager: Tacos, ceviche, elote. Blonde Ale: Salads, mild cheeses, fried fish. Red IPA: Spicy dishes, burgers, aged cheddar. Oatmeal Stout: BBQ brisket, mole, chocolate desserts. Gold IPA: Pizza, fried chicken, blue cheese. We believe great beer should make great food even better.

You’ll find us in California retailers like Safeway, Whole Foods, Raley’s, BevMo, Total Wine & More, and many independent stores. You can also get fresh pours and seasonal exclusives at our taprooms. Use our store locator or ask your favorite shop to carry East Brother.

All beers fall into one of two families: ales or lagers, based on the yeast and fermentation process.
- Lagers (like our Bohemian Pilsner, Red Lager, and Mexican Lager) are fermented cold and slow, creating crisp, clean flavors.
- Ales (like our Red IPA, Gold IPA, Blonde Ale, and Oatmeal Stout) are fermented warm with top-fermenting yeast, often resulting in richer, fruitier, or bolder profiles.
