We try to keep 10-12 beers on tap at all times and brew more than 40 different beers during the course of the year.
Pinnacle Pale Ale (4.8% A.A.B.V.) light and refreshing with a clean hop finish – “The Peak of Flavor”
Titanium Pale Ale (7.4% A.A.B.V.) deceptively powerful straw colored ale that leaves a smooth malty flavor on the palette. - “Light but Strong”
Bug Juice Ale (5.3% A.A.B.V.) medium bodied golden ale that has a floral hop and a light caramel taste.
IPAX (6.7% A.A.B.V.) a strong, bitter, unfiltered gold ale - finished with whole flower Simcoe hops. Big floral aroma and citrus flavor. A Hop Head favorite!
Red Rock Ale (6.0% A.A.B.V.) medium bodied red that is balanced between the initial hop bitterness to a toasty caramel aftertaste.
Tree Frog Ale (7.6% A.A.B.V.) dark amber “Scotch Ale” which has notes of sweet caramel and fruit esters
Dragons Milk (7.6% A.A.B.V.) dry-hopped brown ale, very aromatic, tastes of roasted chocolate and coffee with a full-bodied finish
Black Rock Porter (5.3% A.A.B.V.) robust dark ale that is lightly hopped and has a roasted coffee flavor. (Available October through April).
Stonehenge Stout (7.6% A.A.B.V.) very dark, full-bodied brew with bittersweet chocolate- toasted caramel flavors and a velvety finish
Cask Conditioned Ales: are naturally carbonated (conditioned) in a keg (cask) that is stuffed with a sock of hops and aged for two weeks before being “pulled” through English bee r engines. Cask Ales are lighter in carbonation and slightly warmer than tap drawn ales. Ask your server for style descriptions as these rotate rapidly. $4.50 - pint $3.50 - half
Nitro Tap: The nitro tap gives any ale a finer texture, leaving the taste smoother on the pallet in addition to the visually stimulating cascading effect. As with cask ales, styles rotate quickly. $4.50 – pint $3.50 - half
Drink the Spectrum for the curious pub-crawler 5-½ oz. taster glass of any beer on tap. Try one or all of our many Triple Rock Ales. $1.50 each

Who makes our beer, and how they make it
Rodger Davis, Triple Rock's Head Brewer
Reid & John Martin are happy to have Rodger Davis on-board as the Head Brewer for Triple Rock. Rodger became renowned in the world of craft brewing during his almost six-year tenure as Head Brewer for Drake’s Brewing Co., in San Leandro, CA. Rodger likes to brew big! Lots of character and lots of hops! Now at Triple Rock you’ll be likely to taste a lot of unique special & seasonal beers, as well maybe a few old T-Rock favorites that have been “Rodgerized”. Also, expect to see more barrel-aged beers at Triple Rock in the future. Rodger is a true pioneer in the barrel-aged movement, within the American artisan brewing community.
Photo of Rodger Davis stolen from the Brookston Beer Bulletin. Thanks Jay Brooks! Visit the Brookston Beer Bulletin.Rodger describes how he got into the Craft Brewing Industry:
It all started in the summer of ’91. While camping in the Marin Headlands in between Grateful Dead shows in Sacramento and before heading to Shoreline. Our camping neighbors were doing the same as we were and we ended up having a few Sierra Nevada’s with them. That’s when they mentioned that they were homebrewers. It was a huge epiphany for me. I talked to them for hours about how they brew to the point where they started telling me to shut up about it. When I got home later that week I went straight to the local homebrew store and bought all the things they told me I needed. After taking way to many precautions (sanitizing the spoon before I put it in the boiling wort!?) the first batch was fermenting away. It was probably the worst beer anyone tried, but we drank a bunch of Anchor Steam during the brewing, so at least we had enough fun to do it again and again. Six years later, still brewing at home and stuck as a dispatcher for bike messengers in San Francisco it was time for a change. I enrolled at the Siebel Institute, a brewing school in Chicago, and haven’t looked back since. My first professional brewing job after school was at San Francisco Brewing Company. After spending a year there I went to work for Pyramid Brewing in Berkeley for two and a half years. Next stop was at Drake’s Brewing Company in San Leandro for five and a half years. It’s great to be here at Triple Rock where I can experiment, making small 7-barrel batches, and then being able to see right away how my beer goes over with the Triple Rock customers. It’s hard to get that kind of instant feedback at a production brewery!
