In the ever growing landscape of craft brewing, the local brewpub spotlighting the marriage of fine beer and mouthwatering fare is oftentimes the place we call our home away from home. For 2 decades Great Basin Brewing Co. has dedicated its endeavors to that of tapping into the hearts of beer and food lovers in Sparks & Reno.
Come celebrate 20th Anniversary Week with us and enjoy daily specials and activities at both of the locations that have been home to so many days, months and years of fun, cheer and merriment.

Coat Drive, Mystery Night & Beer Release Party
The 2nd half of Anniversary Week starts with Coat Drive & Mystery Night! All items donated through the coat drive go to the Salvation Army and somebody in need. Exchange your warm coats for cold brews... we'll give you a free pint for each bag of clothes. And Mystery Night is, well, a mystery. Stick around to see what happens.
Alas, the fun isn't over.
We're releasing bottles of the Outlaw Milk Stout and a Limited Edition Bottling of the Great Basin Anniversary Ale. This special brew honors 20 years of creative brewing by fusing 3 of our signature beers: Icky, Chilibeso and Harvest Ale. The result is a double IPA brewed with jalapenos and juniper berries.

Many thanks to our patrons who recently attended Great Basin's nut cracking parties. Soon you'll be able to enjoy the result of your labors.
