East Forty Brewing

06/08/2026

We’re celebrating EIGHT trips around the sun this week, and what better way to do it than with EIGHT brand-new beers inspired by countries around the world?

Starting tomorrow, grab your Beer-y Goes Global passport at the bar and get ready to travel the world through beer. Each new release you get earns you a stamp, and if you collect all 8 stamps, we’ll reward your adventure with an exclusive 8th Anniversary t-shirt!

🌏 First stop: New Zealand 🇳🇿
Our first release drops tomorrow (Tuesday): a New Zealand Pale Ale hopped with Nectaron and Wakatu hops. Expect bright notes of citrus and lime zest, along with hints of pineapple and peach.

Check out our 8th Anniversary Party! event to see the full release list and more details about the week!

EFB Bartenders here - WE ARE OPEN‼️

Due to the road construction, business is a little slow, so apparently we’re now part-time bartenders and part-time professional cleaners of anything and everything.

Come get a beer before our boss assigns us another project…and before they see this post 😅🍻

Real talk—Don't be discouraged by the barricades. You can still access EFB from the east (7 Highway side) and even get all the way to our parking lot by going around the partial barricades at 12th and Main for the time being. The construction crew promises to get the small section between 12th and the railroad tracks done as quickly as possible after they complete from 15th to the railroad tracks.

Just over a week to go now as we raced toward opening day.

On this day 8 years ago, the parking lot was being refinished, patio pavers were going in, signage and artwork were being finished, furniture was being assembled, beer was still being brewed, and about a hundred other projects were all happening at once.

The finish line was in sight, but there was still plenty of work to do.

Now, eight years later, we can't wait to celebrate how far we've come with all of you. See you next week as we celebrate with our 8th Anniversary Party! 🍻

Our springtime MVP, Maybee?, is back in cans! 🍯🌸

We know a lot of you have been waiting patiently—sorry for the delay! You all absolutely crushed the first run of cans way faster than we expected.

Now’s your chance to stock back up on our wide variety of cans for all your Memorial Day weekend adventures! 🍻

Surf's up!

Today’s the day! ☀️🍹

The Lookout Bar at Blue Surf Bay is officially open for the season. Come check out the waterpark, and be sure to swing upstairs for some adult bevvies and poolside vibes while you’re here!

Year Three… let’s do this. 🍻

The stage was set.
A million projects racing toward the finish line. Brewing equipment operational. First batches of beer in the tanks. Just three weeks until opening day.

It feels like a lifetime ago… but somehow, it's been just 8 years.

Come celebrate 8 years of growth, challenges, unforgettable memories, great beer, and an incredible community that made it all possible.

📅 June 9–13
Mark your calendars — it’s going to be a big one. 🍻

It’s Fresh Beer Friday, and boy do we have another good one for ya! 🍻

Welcome back to the taproom lineup and can cooler: Intergalactic Voyager. This returning favorite is a Double New England-Style IPA bursting with huge tropical fruit notes in an ultra-soft, juicy package, clocking in at a sneaky 9.0%!

Fresh Beer Friday! 🍻

In loving memory of our dear friend Mac Lamken, breweries across the area have each brewed their own version of Worth The Climb, a single-hop lager collaboration. Our version features Ekuanot hops, bringing notes of citrus, herbs, and papaya to a crisp, easy-drinking lager base. A portion of all sales will benefit a cause close to Mac's heart, The Battle Within.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can collect postcards from 10 of the participating breweries when you purchase one of the beers to earn an exclusive Worth The Climb glass and handkerchief.

Grab a pint during Happy Hour today, enjoy some patio weather, and stick around tonight for live music from Haley Burke, making her EFB debut and filling in for the previously scheduled Josephine. 🎶

Fresh beer release today! ☕🍻

In collaboration with our friends at Scout Coffee (who are celebrating their 7th anniversary this week 🎉), we’re excited to introduce a brand-new rendition of Brew to Brew — this time as a Coffee Blonde Ale.
This light, easy-drinking 5.1% Blonde Ale is brewed with Scout’s Cozy Critter coffee, a light roast Ethiopian and Guatemalan blend for bright, smooth coffee character without overpowering the beer.

And the best part? It’s served on nitro for a creamy, cold foam-like experience. Come grab a pint on the patio today!
