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 Indian Valley Brewing to The Keg Stand
For years, Indian Valley Brewing Co. poured beer out of 1016 Railroad Ave — a small Novato brewery that locals knew and loved. When it came time for a new chapter, the brewhouse didn't go cold. It got a fresh start.
The Keg Stand Brewing Co. picked up where Indian Valley left off: the same building, the same tanks, the same Novato spirit — but a renewed obsession with one thing. Beer at its absolute freshest. We brew in small batches and pour them just steps from where they ferment. No distribution trucks. No warehouse time. Tank to glass.

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.
