Notes

Visited: January 1, 1992

Opened: 1986

Contributors: Diane Crawford, Arash Shahzadi, Matthias Haaben, Ralph Wells

Reasonable beers, OK food, fair service. Not one of my absolute favorites — then again I haven't visited since 1992 — but they draw a good crowd, and it should be on your Berkeley pub-crawling agenda. Run by the same folks who brought you Twenty Tank in San Francisco.

    • Date: June 13, 1993 (#70)
      Package: draught
      Place: St.Mary's College Beer Festival, Moraga CA
      Score: 9 points
      Overall Impression (2)
      Interesting yellow-amber color. Thick head. As for the aroma…let's just politely say it's "familiar". (As in the wine that Blackadder brought back from his exploration of the African coast.) Thin body, slightly bitter. Unacceptable aroma. Time for another trip to the brewery.

  • Imperial or Double India Pale Ale
    Awards:

  • Classic Irish-Style Dry Stout
    • Date: June 13, 1993 (#72)
      Package: draught
      Place: St.Mary's College Beer Festival, Moraga CA
      Score: 13½ points
      Overall Impression (2½)
      Brown enough to be called black. Very burnt aroma, but not intense. Not bad. Thick and smooth, but with an acid bite. Best of Triple Rock's lot.

  • American-Style Pale Ale
    • Date: (Date unknown) (#1945)
      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Overall Impression
      Light but overhopped. Not enough malt flavor to counteract the hops.

  • American-Style Pale Ale

  • Porter
    Robust Porter

  • Puddy Porter
    Baltic-Style Porter
