Cerebral Brewing built its name on hazy IPAs and precision lagers, and the West Highland spot is where the neighborhood actually gathers to drink them. It's a clean, unfussy taproom with a rotating lineup that leans technical without being pretentious. This is a beer nerd's brewery, but you don't need to know a thing about hop varieties to enjoy it. Come for a flight after a run around Berkeley Lake, post up at the bar for a pint before dinner on Tennyson, or bring the dog and grab a table outside on a Saturday afternoon. It's low-key, not loud, good for conversation. No food menu to speak of, so pair it with a food truck outside or takeout from nearby. Solid crowd of regulars who know their stuff.
