Triple Rock bills itself as 'America's oldest original brewpub.' That may or may not be the case, but it's certainly Berkeley's first, and perhaps best brewpub.
With about a dozen brews always on tap, Triple Rock can satisfy your beer-craving mood, whether it's for a Stonehenge Stout or Pinnacle Pale Ale. If you're not sure what you'd like, just ask for a taste at the bar. Pub food includes a variety of nachos, sandwiches, soups and chili.
Extras: Roof-top beer garden, shuffleboard, T-shirts, logo glasses and other gifts. Bring home beer in a box. A two-gallon box with a tap costs about $15 and lasts 3-4 days. Refills are about $11.
