Oakland Beer Runners

We will meet at Cornerstone in Downtown Berkeley, run the perimeter of the UC Berkeley campus once or twice (your choice), and then return to the venue for drinks and food. The meeting time is at 6:30pm, but we don't typically leave until 6:40pm. The campus perimeter is 2.5 miles and contains an incline.

Like all runs, we will make sure no one is left behind (verbal directions and a run route QR code will be provided), and we are very flexible when it comes to pace and distance. All levels of running and drinking experience are welcome!

While the route is mostly lit, please bring a flashlight, headlamp, or some source of light to increase visibility.

Venue Details:
The main bar has dozens of craft beers on tap, plus a limited bottle selection. Though this venue has put a lot of emphasis on serving craft beers, they do have wine and craft cocktails available. Food is also available when you sit in their large dining hall or outside at their back patio/beer garden area.

World-renowned for their hazy brews and based in Santa Cruz, we will meet at Humble Sea Brewing in Alameda Point for a weekend run. We'll run roughly 5 miles along Atlantic Avenue (via Cross Alameda Trail) and through Jean Sweeney Park (with a 5k available), and we'll return back to the beer bar for drinks and food (vendor TBA).

The meeting time is at 12:00pm, but we typically don't start our run until 12:10pm. There is typically plenty of free street parking available near the brewery, and there is bike parking outside. We do NOT have an official storage area for bags yet, and typically, Humble Sea does not hold them for us. If you are unable to leave the bag at home, please coordinate with someone with a vehicle to store it in.

(You can hop on the free ferry between Oakland and Alameda to attend this event. See the following link for more info on the shuttle service. https://www.watershuttle.org/ )

Come celebrate the holidays AND our 1-year anniversary with us here -- where the Double Standard Bar has turned into a magical spot called Miracle on Telegraph! This will be the last run for us...in 2024!

Remember, bring your ID. You'll need it to enter the bar, drinking or not!

We will meet at The Double Standard Bar by 6:30pm, start the run 10 minutes later, run around Lake Merritt (a little short of 4 miles), and return to the bar for drinks. Please note -- to keep the line moving at the bar, try to avoid ordering drinks that requires blending or involves many mixing procedures.

Street parking can be limited in this area. So, please make an effort to arrive early or take public transit. There are also a few nearby parking garages and lots that are within walking distance from the beer garden (hourly rates on these lots will vary). Like anywhere in Oakland, please do not leave personal items of ANY value in your car if you plan on driving here. The Double Standard Bar is roughly a 1/2 mile walk from 19th Street BART, and there is a spot for bike parking.

We'll be visiting Tiger's Taproom in Jack London Square, and we will run to Lake Merritt -- either a 5k or a ~5 miler (your choice) -- and then return to Tiger's Taproom for drinks and food (food truck vendor to be announced later). Tiger's Taproom offers a great selection of beers on tap, beers in bottles/cans and kombucha.

Although the meeting time is at 6:30pm, we don't start the actual run until around 6:40pm. We will meet inside Tiger's Taproom, and (likely) if you have any personal belongings, we will have a spot inside the venue to drop it off.

Like several places in Oakland, there are car break-ins in the area, and so, please do not leave anything in your car to tempt the thieves. Tiger's Taproom is a half-mile from Lake Merritt BART, and there is usually free street parking around Tiger's Taproom. There is also a secured parking garage just a few blocks from the venue. There's plenty of bike parking. Tiger's is dog friendly.

Like all runs, we will do our best to prevent people from getting lost (verbal directions are often provided beforehand and/or QR code with directions is printed), and we are very flexible when it comes to pace and distance. All levels of running and drinking experience are welcome!
