Briefly

Does Headlands Brewing have the right recipe to revive a storied Cal gathering place?
"Its fourth location, just steps away from Sproul Plaza, has been in a soft opening stage since September. An invite-only ribbon cutting is planned for Thursday, Oct. 23, but public grand opening events include a watch party for the Cal vs. Virginia Tech football game on Friday, Oct. 24 (attendees who purchase a beer pint will receive a Cal-branded glass) and a celebration Saturday, Oct. 25 with live music and opening hours extended to 12 a.m., Headlands spokesperson Jonathan Rosales wrote in an email."
"In addition to a selection of twenty cold taps, menu highlights include pretzels served with your choice of IPA mustard or beer cheese, seasoned French fries, chicharrones seasoned with tamarind and pasilla chiles, and carnitas tacos. Burgers, sandwiches and salads are also available, and wine and cocktails - including a few with fun names like "Oski's Eyeball" and "Cardinal Sin" - are $10. Current non-alcoholic menu options include sparkling CBD water, lemonade and soda. (Mocktails are in the works, according to Rosales.)"
Headlands Brewing began as a roaming "gypsy brewery" in Mill Valley in 2013 and expanded into multiple East Bay locations, including Lafayette, Walnut Creek, and a reopened Westbrae Biergarten in West Berkeley. The new Sproul Plaza location entered soft opening in September and will hold an invite-only ribbon cutting Oct. 23, followed by public events Oct. 24–25 including a Cal football watch party and live-music celebration. The venue offers twenty cold taps, a menu of pretzels, fries, chicharrones, carnitas tacos, burgers, salads, $10 cocktails, and non-alcoholic options, with mocktails planned. Headlands states it does not intend to replicate the Bear's Lair.
