Berkeley’s OG Taphouse
Triple Rock Brewery & Taphouse
38 Years of Fresh Brews and Tasty Food!
It all started in 1985 when brothers John and Reid Martin decided Berkeley could use a little more beer in its life. On March 14th, 1986, Triple Rock opened its doors, and for the last 38 years, we’ve been keeping the taps flowing with the freshest handcrafted brews in town—paired with some seriously mouth-watering food!
From juicy burgers to shareable bites, our exceptional dishes are crafted with the same care and attention to detail as our beers, creating the perfect match for any pint. Whether you're here for a quick snack or a full meal, we've got you covered.

A Legacy of Innovation
Since day one Triple Rock Brewery has been all about pushing the envelope! Nestled in the heart of downtown Berkeley, California, we proudly hold the title of the 5th brewpub in America and the oldest still run by its original founders.
We kicked off our brewing journey with just three classics: Pinnacle Pale Ale, Red Rock Ale, and Black Rock Porter. Fast forward to today, and we’re pouring an ever-changing lineup that ranges from crisp pilsners to hop-packed IPAs, with 8 to 12 of our own delicious creations on tap at any given moment.
With Head Brewer Jeff Kimpe working his magic on our original 7-barrel system, “The Rock” remains a beloved cornerstone of the SF Bay Area beer scene. Here’s to brewing exceptional beers and celebrating a legacy of creativity!
