The new Torpedo Room that Sierra Nevada Brewing created is officially open to the public today, beginning at 11:00 a.m.

Located at 2031 4th Street in Berkeley, just behind the Grocery Outlet almost underneath the University Avenue off-ramp.

The interior was created using mostly recycled materials, and there’s even two hop torpedoes behind the bar.

Hop torpedoes, of course, are what the Torpedo Room was named for. I love the beaker display and the painting hanging on the wall above it.

The Torpedo Room will feature 16 rotating taps, including some rare ones that used to be available only in the tap room at Chico.

They won’t serve pints, only tasting flights, although they sell a full complement of Sierra Nevada packaged beer.

The hours for the Torpedo Room Tuesday through Thursday, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.. They’ll be closed on Sundays and Mondays. It’s a cool, comfortable, intimate space. Check it out when you’re in Berkeley.
