We're thrilled that these people are sharing their interest in East Brother with the world.
The project brings together the Mill Valley restaurateur, known locally for Buckeye Roadhouse, Bungalow 44, Playa and Corner Bar, with Mill Valley residents Chris Coomber and Rob Lightner, the founders of East Brother Beer Co. in Richmond.
A fresh chapter begins for Floodwater in Tam Junction this week when owner Bill Higgins unveils Tam Tavern on Friday.
Richmond-based East Brother Beer Co. is opening their first San Francisco taproom at the Metreon, and it's dubbed the Rec Room. The taproom takes over a large space facing Yerba Buena Gardens with an outdoor patio, formerly Sanraku.
In a significant boost to Downtown San Francisco's social scene, the Metreon, currently boasting an impressive 90% occupancy rate, is set to welcome East Brother Beer Co., a Richmond-based brewery with a penchant for classic beer styles.
With more than 3,000 square feet fronting the grassy landscape that is Yerba Buena Gardens, it’ll offer 15 or so beers, along with board games, darts, and pool — like a fun suburban basement, but with way more taps.
The South of Market tasting room and patio is the second location of East Brother, which has brewed and poured beers from its home base on Richmond’s industrial waterfront since 2017.
The Bay Area craft beer scene has a tendency to run all IPA all the time, so it’s nice to have a brewery like East Brother Beer, one of the few local breweries that puts a major focus on craft lagers and pilsners.
With its successful entry into the Japanese market, East Brother Beer Co. exemplifies how a combination of strategic partnerships and federal, state, and regional support can help local businesses achieve global success.
