Berkeley Alley Beer Co - Enter in "The Alley"

I wasn't the biggest fan of the two beers I had here. They were a bit too bitter for my tastes, especially for what I would have expected for a Belgian beer. That being said, I love the place. The bartender was great, the vibe is very laid back and they've got a few games to play if you want. I'd come back and try a few more beers.

(Original post--updates below): I love this place. The beers and the brewers are awesome. Lots of Belgian style beers. Try the Het Huis. The venue is never too crowded, and it's got a good outdoor space. Update (2019): I avoided this place for about a year because of an old bartender that I thought was...unfriendly. They now have 2 new, amazing bartenders. This is back to my new regular haunt. A special brewery in Denver. Update (8/10/21): Under new ownership. It now features a board heavy on sessionable IPAs. There are still a few big Belgians up there, though you're unlikely to find the variety of big, experimental, and barrel aged beers they used to have. Also Chris is gone. Update (2/8/22): At least 4 "core beers" at all times, plus a smattering of other good ones, plus thr sessionable IPAs etc they wanted. A decent compromise has been found. :)
