Love their beers, although I favor their selections of West Coast IPA's over the NE types and Lagers, all the beer they make ia pretty great. In house, they will allow a quick sample before purchasing any of their brews to go, or for consumption on site. Their is an area for larger or small parties to sit, enjoy the beer and socialize, although on this trip, I just grabbed some beer to go, to bring back home.

This also helps me support more businesses! But I am open minded with your new food menu, and look forward to a more expansive future menu than just pizza. Took my buddy here today; a long awaited field trip for him. Thanks for always coming up with new flavors of beers, keeps me coming back and trying more and more and more. So many varieties are for sale, and the more you buy, the more you save. See pictures. Superbowl sale, etc. We sat at a table in the back and when bar seating became available, we moved up front for faster service and more beer, lol. Today we got the following: Reno as F - I always seem to get this, maybe just because it has the name Reno in it, lol. My usual everyday red. My buddy got the following - Tahoe Haze and Emerald Bay IPA; he enjoyed them both. Oh, they also have wine, but who comes to a brewery for wine?!?! See picture. Ambiance - Not many or any changes. Huge warehouse production location. Small "tap room" lounge area. Then the huge warehouse space, "play space" - See pictures of all the games available for us. Two bars, see pictures. Plenty of seating, lounge, table, counter, bar, etc. Free wifi, but I did not use it. Tap room hours from noon or 1pm to 8pm, 9pm, or 10pm. See my picture or Yelp. Decent size parking lot, but the best spaces seem to always be full. Got lucky today, but on all the other visits, I have had to park in the back. BTW, do NOT park in the neighboring lots as you will get towed, see my picture. Service - Counter service, but good and professional. She offered me to try the new flavors, but as a creature of habit, I seem to always go back to my usual beers. Self service water station. Happy hour available, but only from 1-4pm and I am trying to NOT drink so early. Price - $7 to $8 a beer. Expensive, but that is the cost for quality! Owner Comment - Revision, congrats on all your success since 2017. I have been a loyal customer! I even buy your beer from Costco, lol.

Replaced IMBIB; going to miss them. But they still have a…read morefew of IMBIB beers here on tap. Quality/Quantity - Out of my favorite beer today... If you are following, you know I am currently a Red drinker. So I settled for these two beers and both of which were good/okay. Dunkel Dark Lager. Stop Licking Me! Cold IPA. Ambiance - New outside paint job. New decor from IMBIB. Still a small space, a small bar. Small parking lot, but we got here early so no problems. Open 7 days a week, see their website. And they can close early if they run out of beer?!?! Service - Good. As I am new here, I was able to taste a few of their beers before deciding on the ones that I liked best. Both owners were here, one working the bar and the other doing extreme quality control, lol. Price - $17+ tip; not sure if tax was already included. Owner Comment - Congrats on Martin Barman and Matt Garcia success. I am also a customer of Alibi brewery. Can I suggest a happy hour?

Admittedly I was there on a Monday afternoon, so there's obviously better times for you to visit. The setting was nice, better than the other breweries I visited in Reno.

This place has amazing reviews and is very popular with the locals, so just because it didn't work for me, it doesn't mean it won't do it for you.

The patio was full of people enjoying themselves, music was playing, and everyone looked like they were having a great time on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We quickly found a parking spot and decided to check it out. We ordered at the counter, and the bartender was incredibly friendly. He offered me a couple of tastings, which helped me find the perfect craft beer for the afternoon. With drinks in hand, we grabbed a table outside and spent some time soaking up the sunshine, listening to the music, and enjoying the lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best discoveries are the unplanned ones! I'm so glad we stumbled upon Pigeon Head Brewery. The welcoming staff, great beer, and fun vibe made for a wonderful experience. We're already looking forward to many more visits in the future. Cheers!

Cut and pasted from their website: "Slieve means "A…read moreMountain" in Irish Gaelic, their family roots." Quality/Quantity - Been an extremely long stressful day! So I NEEDED a break from the day to just relax and stop thinking! I gave my wife a few options, a few breweries to choose from (or for me to just go alone, which she would not have let me drink and drive, especially all the way from North Reno). So she/we chose to go to Slieve as I have not been there yet. Actually, all 3 choices were breweries. The good news is that there are more and more new breweries opening. The bad news is that there are more and more good breweries closing, in ALL my hometowns... My first time in a nano brewery; cool. Today I got (and tried the following), all Slieve brands; support local: Oh, I did not know you had a happy hour M-F from 2-5pm; I just missed it by 13 minutes... Should not have spent so much time outside taking pictures for Yelp, lol. Pale Ale - Good, but I prefer more flavor. This is currently my second "go to" beer after reds. Jimbo Porter - Better, but then I tried the Cookie Monster! I also did not taste the coconut. Cookie Monster - My favorite of the beers, so much flavor. And I am NOT usually a sweet beer drinker. It was not an overwhelming stout, probably due to the sweetness, but you can definitely taste the chocolate and slightly coffee and caramel flavors. I would get this again, but it would always have to be my last beer due to the flavors. Beers that I need to come back for when available are: Your reds, IPAs and of course your "Trinity Tripel." Ambiance - On your "about" page on your website, it says you are still looking for a home for your brewery...? Is that accurate or does that page need to be updated? Cool space, indoor and outdoor seating. Bar and table seating. 2 bars, one the back, probably only used for events. Semi private room when you walk in. Ping pong, darts, games, cornhole, cool decor on walls throughout to read, etc. Open 7 days a week, see their website. Yelp's hours/days differ slightly. Event spaces are available; see their website.. Service - Good. We were also greeted by Shannon when she and Phillip came in later for a drink or two... Phillip was too busy drinking to say hi, lol. Price - $8 a beer. The typical cost for good craft beer.

You can find their beer at Total Wine, Trader Joe's, local bars but I love drinking it from the tap right at the brewery. This is a huge space that can hold various events and especially in the summer when the patio is open. It's only open a couple nights per week right now because they really just specialize in the one beer. But they take card and it's a fun environment. Parking can get tight since they share with some other nearby restaurants.

We've been seeing Battle Born Beer available in stores and at various bars around town for a couple years, but now they have taken the next step and gotten their own digs, becoming the newest beer spot in this already beer-sy party of town. The facility is located technically off of Fifth Street, being in a converted warehouse literally right behind The Depot. The joint looks fantastic, perhaps even with traces of that 'new brewery smell' you look for when you go to the building dealership. There is space inside for some seating areas, and some closed off patio areas outside with room for tables and a couple outdoor games. As for hours, the owners are saying they are hoping to be open on Friday and Saturday nights in the near future, with plans to maybe expand hours or even the taproom itself to accommodate more customers. Parking can be a bit tight, given the abundance of favorite dinner and drinking spots around here, but should be very manageable when no events are going on. Today, though, was not the day to see the day-to-day operations, as the owners and staff wanted to kick things off right for their grand opening by throwing a real kicker of a block party! Great music, delicious fare served out from food trucks, cool swag for sale, and taps-a-plenty of their beer. So far they only have the one beer, their flagship pilsner. But this is a pretty darn good one, as it is tasty, smooth, and very easy drinking. Indeed, it is one of those perfect beers for events like this. Plus, with their close partnership to The Depot, look for some of their beers on tap as well. Prices were really good, with about two to three pints being $10, six-packs on sale for $7.50, and twelve-packs for $14. All in all, I am glad to see Battle Born open up a place of their own in the beating beer heart of the city. Will certainly look forward to coming back and trying them out again. Cheers, guys!

We had my bestie visiting from Sacto so this was a perfect event to take him to. The one thing that was difficult is we had a very long walk from the parking to the actual event so I wished I had brought my parasol :) it was a very hot day similar to what we've had all summer. This year was so strange weather wise, I feel like we didn't have a spring at all, it was like Winter then Summer. I love the rain so it was amazing for that and to help our water resources. It was very crowded so this proved that this was a great success. They had a cute area for the children with picnic tables with coloring books. This was very wise of the organizers to think of this. I literally squeezed myself into a bench and hung out there until the boys were finished with the beer and band. I just wanted to get home to the pool. My buddy Tomas and Joe were exciting try the different beers and they definitely did, guess who drove home? ;) Fun event! The only thing that could use some improvement for next year was the ticket people had no idea about how to accept my 2 free tickets... It was only $7 per person so that's so reasonable it wasn't worth arguing. Yelp has brought me so much happiness over the years starting in the Bay Area and then coming to Reno. One can only dream of where I'll be next...

My wife doesn't do beer at all, even a little bit, so she ordered up the Smooshed Fruitz an apricot seltzer. I ordered up the Black Gold because I thought it would go with the the Corned Beef Tater Tots we ordered up to share. I also liked the idea of getting a side of cabbage and carrots so I did! The tasting space is pretty tight be comfortable. A hand full of bar height tables and a decent sized bar space are great places to choose to sit while having a pint or two. I am not sure who did the food, I just assumed it was done in house but the food truck outside had a different logo on it, then that logo was covered up with the Great Basin logo. Maybe the trailer is a new acquisition for Local Food Group and just hasn't been repainted. Either way the corned beef tots were perfect. Not too salty or rich, just tasty tasty goodness that totally satisfied. My side of cabbage and carrots was a perfect addition to the meal. It was really nice to be able to get a smaller set of meals that were able to feed. The food was so good in fact that we decided to go back the next night to try some sliders and the more classic corned beef and cabbage dish. But that didn't work out because we were stopped at the door and told to pay a cover for a music event that night. Total bummer because we probably would have spent $50 or $60 bucks on food and drinks easily. It was sort of an awkward moment. Next time I will double check to not go on a night where they require tickets to just enter.
