Sierra Nevada’s Torpedo Room opens in Berkeley

[Jesus Malverde]

Crucial news for East Bay denizens and Bay Area beer geeks: Sierra Nevada‘s Torpedo Room opens in Berkeley today.

As noted last month, the Torpedo Room is Sierra Nevada’s first tasting room outside its Chico headquarters. On offer are 16 taps of Sierra Nevada beers, many which that you probably won’t see anywhere other than the brewery. The beers are only available to drink at the Torpedo Room via tasting flights. So, instead of a full pint, you can only get a flight of four 4-ounce glasses; it’s educational, you see. Growlers and bottled beers are both available for purchase to drink at home while enjoying/suffering through the holiday season.

3. Something else for me to check out next time I'm in civilization

4. You kinda, sorta, have Gordon Biersch

Admittedly, it's not like the freewheeling Palo Alto days, but their Pilsner is pretty damn good.

6. Cool! Thanks for the heads-up, hadn't heard about this before.

Guess I'll have to make the pilgrimage over the hill for a look see.

Although in all honesty, I've moved over to Lagunitas instead of Sierra Nevada. But, the specialty beers on tap do sound inviting.
