The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co Holidays

The Experience:

Holiday party plans?

Their taproom’s got you covered: plenty of parking, award-winning beers on tap, and space to fit the whole crew. They’ve got the music, the games and the welcome mat. Bring your own food or grab a bite from their food trucks—it’s all set up to keep things easy. 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: [email protected]

Plus, to warm things up and quell the winter chill, they have a recent release – their Baltic Porter. At East Brother Beer Co., this style aligns with everything they stand for—honoring tradition, respecting craftsmanship and brewing with balance. 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.

And don’t forget Monday Night Football – your Mondays will now be filled with cold beers, delicious food and unbeatable vibes .What a great way to start your week! Monday Night Football with Golden Gate Bistro – doors open at 4pm
