The first in a series of once in a lifetime craft beer releases - Antler honors the very first observable tectonic event that played a part in bringing Nevada up from the the sea floor some 380 million years ago. Its name comes from Antler Peak, just southwest of Battle Mountain in Nevada where telltale marks of this first mountain building event can still be seen today. Details on this primeval brew and release party to follow in the coming weeks.
The Great Reno Balloon Race is floating into town September 8-10, and with it comes our limited release of Dawn Patrol Crystal Pale Ale. It’s the official beer of the Great Reno Balloon Race and as light and refreshing as a floating through a cloudless sky. Every time you purchase a Dawn Patron, we make a donation to the Great Reno Balloon Race to help it fly even higher. Enjoy it now in 6-packs and our brewpubs, but hurry – what goes up, must come down.
