Where to pick up freshly brewed craft beer — or get it delivered straight to your home

No matter where you are in the East Bay, there’s probably a place serving cold beer straight from the source nearby — and better yet, a brewery that has managed to stay independent and locally owned in an industry full of corporate takeovers. With most of these local spots offering curbside pickup and delivery during the shelter in place, the spirit of craft beer is indeed alive and well on the sunny side of the Bay — pandemic be damned.

Whether you’re a hop head, sour lover, or person who absolutely hates beer trends and just wants a basic lager already, these 15 excellent East Bay breweries with taprooms have you covered.
