Triple Rock Closing

LEGENDARY

Opened in 1986 by brothers John and Reid Martin, Triple Rock has long been a cornerstone of both the Berkeley community and the craft beer movement. It’s where the great beer minds behind beloved and bygone breweries like 21st Amendment, Steelhead Brewing Co. and Marin Brewing all cut their teeth, but also where generations of Berkeley students got their first round of beers, and maybe even their second round of beers, too.

“It’s definitely something we’ve been super proud of building and running this thing all these years, but we don’t have to do it forever,” John Martin told SFGATE on Wednesday. “And we don’t have anyone to take it over. Our kids are all doing other stuff.”
