Regulatory Stuff

All I want for Christmas is my CUP

Last night at City Hall, the Richmond City Planning Commission unanimously approved our production brewery! We worked extensively with the Planning Division, along with neighborhood councils, business associations, and local merchants, and have received an incredibly warm welcome from everyone. The unbridled enthusiasm we’re experiencing is enormously gratifying, and we’re tremendously excited to bring a craft brewery to Richmond!

The public notice period lasts for the next 17 days, and barring unforeseen developments, we expect to have in hand an official letter from the city of Richmond giving us the green light on January 4, 2016. 

This is blog post #1

So...

It's been 2+ years since we started planning this thing, and as of now - November 2015 - the train has indeed left the station.

Location: Found (Richmond, California)

Equipment: Ordered (AAA Metal Fabrication)

Name: East Brother Beer Company (thanks Good Beer Hunting!)

And most importantly...

The Beer: Our approach will be a "Return to Classic Styles" - a portfolio centered around traditional ales and lagers, brewed with care and precision. We hope to address the growing trend towards sessionable, clean beers that drinkers across the spectrum will appreciate when looking for a well-made, local beer.

Stay tuned for more details. We're slated to open in the spring of 2016. Hope to see you at the taproom!
