When it comes to crafting exceptional beer, every ingredient matters. At East Brother Beer Co., we take pride in brewing classic, true-to-style beers that honor tradition while embracing the future. That’s why our partnership with Admiral Maltings is such a natural fit—because great beer starts with great malt, and great malt starts with a deep connection to the land and the people who cultivate it.
A Shared Commitment to Quality and Craft
Admiral Maltings, based in Alameda, California, is redefining what it means to source local, high-quality malt. Founded by Bay Area brewing veterans, their mission is to work directly with California farmers to produce hand-crafted malt that brings out the unique terroir of the region. Using a blend of traditional floor malting techniques and modern innovation, Admiral Maltings creates a product that allows brewers—like us at East Brother—to brew beers with unparalleled depth of flavor and character.
At East Brother Beer Co., we’re committed to brewing beer that’s as timeless as it is timely. Our focus on quality, precision, and tradition aligns perfectly with Admiral’s dedication to sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. From our crisp Bohemian Pilsner to our rich and roasty Oatmeal Stout, every beer we craft is a testament to the importance of exceptional raw materials.
Why Local Matters
Just as Admiral Maltings champions local agriculture, we at East Brother Beer Co. celebrate the hardworking spirit of Richmond, California—the city we call home. Brewing beer in a city with deep industrial roots, we recognize the importance of supporting local businesses and farmers. By using Admiral Maltings’ California-grown malt, we’re not just making great beer; we’re strengthening the local economy and promoting sustainability in brewing.
Choosing local malt means reducing our carbon footprint, preserving California’s agricultural heritage, and ensuring that our beers capture the essence of the place we love. It’s about more than just brewing—it’s about community, sustainability, and a shared passion for craft.
Raising a Glass to Tradition and Innovation
Every pint of East Brother beer tells a story of craftsmanship, dedication, and local pride. Whether you’re sipping a pint in our Richmond taproom or picking up a six-pack at your favorite retailer, you’re tasting the result of a partnership built on a shared vision for excellence.
So here’s to great beer, great malt, and the people behind it all. Next time you enjoy an East Brother brew, know that it’s made with the finest local ingredients—because the best beer starts at the source.
Cheers to craft, community, and quality.
