Summertime heat is going strong all over the Great Basin. Luckily, we were prepared with 39º North Blonde Ale. It’s the perfect summer craft beer: light, refreshing, and brewed with hop notes of lime and fresh melon. Beginning this month, you can grab this summertime brew in cans. They’re perfect for anywhere your summer adventures take you. Look for 6-packs of cans of this clearly refreshing brew at our Reno and Sparks brewpubs beginning next week.

As a local brewpub that has depended on the support of Reno and Sparks beer lovers, we like to extend that same support out to other local businesses. Our newest monthly event, Farm to Fork, is a great way to fill your belly with fresh food and delicious beer.
Check-in starts as early as 6pm with a meet and greet and hors d'oeuvres paired with an 8 ounce beer following at 6:30. Dinner will start at 7pm and consist of five different courses, each one paired with an 8 ounce glass of beer. As each plate and beer are brought out, chef James Garza and a brewer will offer an introduction to each course.
Dishes are dependent on the local products available at that time, so course information will be available closer to the event date.
Tickets are $55 plus tax and gratuity. Call our Reno location at 284-7711 to reserve your spot, but don’t wait there’s only 30 spots left!

This golden beauty of a brew blends select malts and Belgian yeast with 100% Lattin Farms cantaloupes from Fallon. The result is an unfiltered ale with notes of ripe cantaloupe, clove and banana that you’ll fall head over heels for.
This extremely limited release was crafted to pay homage to the Fallon Cantaloupe Festival & Country Fair, a Nevada original. Make your way to the festival and pick up farm ripened cantaloupes and a couple pints of this homegrown brew. After the festival (if there’s any left) we’ll have it on tap at our brewpubs until it’s gone.
