East Brother Beer Co. levels up with two new openings: Tam Tavern in Mill Valley and the Rec Room in SF.

"The local Richmond favorite's two decades of craft and community are behind its new sports-driven taproom in downtown San Francisco's Metreon, and its new Marin outpost blending mountain views, cold pours, and good company. The move marks a new chapter for East Brother Beer Company, whose name nods to the small island just off the Richmond coast where it all began. Teaming up with restaurateurs Jim Waley and Bill Higgins, they've transformed the former Floodwater Italian restaurant into Tam Tavern,"

"The interior balances warmth and modern polish with high ceilings, a gleaming wood bar, lounge seating, and enough TVs to catch every game. Guests can gather around pool tables or the wood-fired pizza oven for comfort food that pairs perfectly with East Brother's easy-drinking lineup, from its European beer haulVienna lager, oatmeal stout, and Bohemian pilsto classics like the Bo Pilsner and a smooth, malty red lager."

"At the foot of Mount Tam, the tavern blends Marin's local history with the energy of a freshly renovated beer garden. The family of one of East Brother's co-founders, Rob Lightner, has lived in Mill Valley for three generations, while the other, Chris Coomber, has been a community member for more than two decades. Historical photographs of the old Tavern of Tamalpais line the walls, recalling the railroad that once carried visitors nearly to the mountain's summit."
