This small Berkeley neighborhood nano-brewery taproom, founded in 2014, serves up some tasty brews. They offer a selection each in various styles. The brewery is located nearby in Oakland.
The vibe is chill. They have three seating areas: bar, outdoor parklet and adjacent "living room" with couches and comfy chairs.

Laid back, unassuming space with a small but wide-ranging tap list. On my visit I caught a good ‘neighborhood hangout’ vibe here. Patio is pleasant, too.

Chill and laidback bar serving a short but sweet selection of house brews. Long, dark inside bar as well as good outdoor seating with sidewalk tables and patio built onto the street, shared with neighboring Easy restaurant.
