Welcome

We took a day trip to Oakland and Berkeley to visit a few of the local breweries that we hadn’t been to, and then later in the afternoon we got to see bits of pieces of the Women’s Final 4 games. Our first and only stop in Oakland was Pacific Coast Brewing Company, the brewery is in a building built in 1876 and is located very close to the Oakland Convention Center. The look and feel of the brewery is very cool, growing up in an old bowling alley, I am partial to that old funky look. Our 2nd stop was at Star Grocery in Berkeley, a small grocery store that has a nice beer selection, although I think they need some more refrigerator space. I found myself pulling bottles from in front of others to find even more varieties. Jupiter was our 3rd stop, and my personal favorite, they had a great outdoor patio that was packed! The service was great and the beer was very flavorful. 4th stop was at Triple Rock Brewery, just a few blocks from Jupiter. Triple Rock is the oldest originally owned brewpub in America and the fifth oldest brewpub to ever open. Our last stop was at Pyramid Alehouse, we stopped here because it was close, mostly. Pyramid was recently purchased and has a lot of changes going on, most noticible yesterday was that Rollick was all over and the Amber Weizen had been discontinued, boo! We finished our day by arriving back in Roseville and stopping by BJ’s to watch the rest of the second NCAA game and then getting some yogurt at Big Spoon. View pictures from our beer tour here.
