80 North: Berkeley, Triple Rock

Triple Rock  1920 Shattuck Ave./Hearst; downtown.  This is America’s oldest brewpub.  Seating includes at the bar in front where several TVs entertain, at tables in the back, and in a rooftop beer garden with shuffleboard.  Beers change regularly and include a popular Red Rock American red ale and an unusual SHE Mosaic that is hoppy with tropical fruit flavors.  You can try a few samples to help you select.  The half-pound burger is delicious, but the menu includes much more—a Reuben, a salmon sandwich, a ¼-pound ale dog steamed in beer, baked potatoes with a variety of toppings, mac & cheese.  Innovative veggie items include a seitan Reuben, Philly cheese steak, and veggie burger.
