Our Story
Novato's Hometown Brewery
Same building. Same Railroad Ave roots. A new name, and beer brewed fresher than it's ever been on this block.
From Mobile Bar to Brewery
What started in 2021 as a side hustle to escape the 9-to-5 grind quickly turned into a full-blown mission. If you know us, you know we've always enjoyed visiting local breweries and hitting up food trucks throughout Northern California. That's when the idea struck us…
Let's flip the script. Instead of a food truck… let's do a BEER TRUCK!
As homebrewers ourselves, we wanted to focus on working with our local home brew clubs in addition to local breweries to serve the freshest beer at all types of events throughout Northern California. So, fueled by the love for beer and a relentless drive to break free from the “rat race,” we picked up a small, worn-down trailer, fixed it up, and turned it into what became “The Keg Stand” Mobile Bar.
Now here we are, a few years later, taking the next step in this adventure. We've opened our own brewing facility in the heart of Novato, where we're crafting our own small-batch beers and creating a space where beer lovers can gather, taste, and experience craft brewing at its finest.
So step in, grab a pint, and join the movement. This isn't just beer—it's our way out. It's our passion turned into reality.

How We Brew
Small Batch
We brew in small batches on purpose. It means more variety on the taps, beer that's never sat around, and the freedom to chase a recipe just to see where it goes.
Local First
Brewed in Novato, for Novato. The Keg Stand is a neighborhood brewery — dog-friendly, family-friendly, with a food truck parked out front more days than not.
Peak Freshness
The beer in your glass was brewed a few feet away. That's the whole point. No middlemen between our tanks and your table.
