Pyramid Brewery

Great place to grab a platter of BBQ chicken nacho’s. (Might not still be on the menu, but can still ask for it.) You can get a sampler of beer that’s pretty awesome as well. Usually have a couple TV’s playing sports.

Triple Rock

Triple Rock Brewery was the fifth brewpub to open in the United States. It is the only one now operating using the original brewing equipment and the only one still owned & operated by the original founders. Can get a good burger here too.

Jupiter

Come here for the beers, enjoy the food. Tasty beers, nice salads, and wood oven pizza. Gabe really likes the Quasar Double IPA.

St. George Spirits (Distillery)

Not in Berkeley, and you’re gonna need a car to get to this one, but St. George Spirits gives a cool tour so we hear. Some of you may be familiar with Hangar One Vodka. This place makes that. If you’re crunched for time, you can always just stop at the bar for a tasting.
