As 2016 comes to a close, we’re ending it with releases of our newest craft beers. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Beer!
2016 Red Nose Holiday Wassail Ale
Our 24th edition of Red Nose Holiday Wassail Ale continues its sweet, malt-forward base. The spices we use have changed as we do year after year to include local honey, coriander, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, clove, curacao and sweet orange peel, maple, vanilla, anise seed, ginger, and apples accent this year’s holiday ale. A limited edition of only 400 - 22 oz. bottles will be available this season, each signed and numbered by our Brewmaster, Tom Young. Get your signed bottle beginning Sunday, exclusively available at our Reno or Sparks brewpubs. This brew is also on tap beginning today at both of our brewpubs.
2016 Mayan Maybe Not
First brewed to celebrate the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012, this beer marries ingredients the Mayans cultivated – chocolate, jalapeño & habanero chiles, vanilla, honey, & maize with subtly-smoked malts. This brew pours a dark brown body with ruby highlights. It features aromas of chocolate, chilies, sweet caramel, and vanilla. On the palette, flavors of bittersweet chocolate, dark malts, spicy peppers with a hint of smokiness. Available on tap and in 22 oz. bottles where Great Basin beer is sold.
Deathwish American Pale Ale
This year, our collaboration brew with Moment Skis is making the jump to a year-round release. Deathwish is an American style pale ale that combines sweet caramel and toasty malt flavors which slay you with hop bitterness and pungent citrus hop aroma. On the palette, it’s hop-forward with roasted caramel & biscuit flavors with accents of herbal, floral, spicy & citrus hops. Available on tap today and in 6-packs where Great Basin beer is sold.
With winter here and Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe among the first resorts to open up at Tahoe, we’re about to head back up to the mountain. We’re brewing our special First Chair Ale that will be served exclusively at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe (and our brewpubs) while it lasts. This year we’ve included a generous amount of fresh grapefruit to the brew. Of course we’ll also have some of our other favorites on tap also up at the resorts. Look for our brews to hit the resort about mid-December.
