About

Berkeley’s original brewpub, opened in 1986 by brothers John and Reid Martin as the 5th brewpub in America and still run by the original founders. They brew fresh handcrafted beers on their original 7-barrel system with Head Brewer Jeff Kimpe, offering 8-12 rotating taps from classics like Pinnacle Pale Ale to hoppy IPAs, paired with elevated pub food like burgers and comfort dishes.
