Successful brewery of 12 years. Many good choices for beers from light pilsners to ales to red to Octoberfest to porters. Everything is brewed in house.
I was just visiting Reno for work, and decided to check out some of the local breweries. I wasn't overly impressed by either the venue, the atmosphere or the choice/quality of the craft beer. I guess to each their own, not a brewery I would return to, but they clearly had a loyal base who were on great terms with the bar tender and the other regulars. The bartender was nice to offer some local attractions when I asked him.
Great little spot, I had the red rye lager and boy was it good! Adding the live music by ventura hwy band and the great service, it was awesome!
Another beer, another stamp, another happy customer! This was my first time in Pigeon Head Brewery although I've been in Reno my whole life, it did not disappoint! I had their Kolsch and my husband had the Black Lager and both were very tasty! We sat inside and really enjoyed the artwork and quiet. It was a chill Saturday afternoon spent the right way!
Cute little place. Comfy couch. Loved my cider and the beer was good too. Friendly bartender.
Cool craft brewery that prides itself on lagers. If you know, you know...IPAs and Ales are quick and easy to turn over in less than a month. Lagers take a lot of time and require "Lagering" and you really have to know what you're doing as a brewer to be good at this. So, that's why you see so many breweries with 12 different IPAs or Pale Ales.....easy and quick and can reuse the yeast. This place is legit. They had a blood orange pale, a jalapeño/habanero IPA, a Karen, two different kolschs, and 5 different lagers in addition to a Pilsner. They have happy hour min-Fri from 2-5 and specials everyday except Fri and sat. Thursdays are the best...$10 growler fills. I will be back!!!
Pigeon Head Brewery is a true gem. Been telling people for years that anyone looking for good beer should have this place near the top of their list. They specialize in lagers, but over the years their menu has expanded to include all sorts of other styles. Suffice to say, you're going to find something you love here. Some of my perpetual favorites are their Pilsner, which is a very good easy-drinking beer. Add to that selections like their delicious Black Lager, their very outstanding Silver Sage Pale Ale, and their delicious Jalapeno/Habanero beer. And don't skip out on any of their seasonal brews, either, as the crew here are always cooking up something new and exciting to try. Plus, they have a fair portion of their menu available in cans to-go, and can do growlers and growlers to order. I also just love the vibe and energy at this place. It's very chill, cozy, and friendly in the extreme. Between the fantastic staff and the cadre of regulars, it has that real "local pub" sort of feel to it. You can hang out, play a few bar games, watch whatever sport is on the TV, or go sit outside in their wonderful beer garden if the weather is nice. All this ism plus they have events on a semi-regular basis like bar trivia, food-and-beer pairings, Grateful Dead night, or food truck pop-ups. So keep your eyes on their online calendars. Prices for everything are pretty much on par with other breweries and craft bars in town, starting around $8 per pint. There is no real food available here betond a selection of chips, nuts, and admittedly excellent beef jerky. But there are some food options fairly close by to either walk to or get delivered. Parking is usually pretty easy, too, either in their small lot or in street spaces. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Pigeon Head is my favorite brewery in our region. I've been a fan of them for years, and I hope more folks can discover them as well. In the last year or so, I really feel the energy of the Brewery District has shifted east to land along the Wells Ave corridor, with these guys being one of my favorite frequent haunts. Anyone looking for good beers and good vibes should come check them all out. Cheers, all!
The staff is very friendly and the Oktoberfest beer is my favorite on their menu. I look forward to it every year. This is a cozy local spot off the beaten path worth visiting.
A lot has changed since they first opened. Thankfully even more beer varieties, A+. Friendly beerman. Awesome gravel floor Bier Garten outside. The beer prices are actually so reasonable for their serving size. Drive in straight parking and street parking available. Lots of art on the interior walls to look at. More of a venue to drink and talk. There is also another brewery nearby to make it a proper beer crawl but with this Pigeon's beer selection, it makes it hard to leave.
This was the first brewery EVER that doesn't allow kids in the taproom, told us we had to sit outside in the cold if we were going to have a drink. First of all they are not very welcoming. Beer was not all great, what a bad experience for our first brewery here in Reno! Oh well, let's go try other breweries! cheers
I'm not really sure if I could have asked for a better brewery. #4 Parking was amazing #3 Service the best (thanks Matt) #2 Ambiance spot on and most importantly #1 The beer was amazing, inventive, thought out, cared for...etc. I could go on and on. Come here and you won't regret it. This is not only what a brewery should do but also makes Reno proud. Thanks for doing what you guys do!!!!
Great local brewery with phenomenal flagship beers and even better experimentals. Must try is the Pilsner as this is a great lagerhaus. If they have the Turkish on make sure you partake Follow their social for events. Always something fun going on - trivia, Grateful Dead or unique pairings. It is always a good time with a bunch of regulars to say hi to. Must stop when visiting Reno's Breweries!!
I love Pigeon Heads beer. They are small brewery tucked in the Brewery district of 4th Street. The interior is cozy but plenty of seating. I often get their flights which are only $10 for four pours. On my latest visit we grabbed some beers and one flight to try some of the newer things. I was shocked at how good the Imperial Hefe was at over 12% ABV! My only complaint would be that there is an older bartender that comes across as somewhat cranky which impacts service a bit. The other bartenders have all been great!
My husband and I were on our way to another brewery in Reno when we happened to drive by Pigeon Head Brewery. 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! read more
Celebrated the early part of the day on the 4th of July listening to a Grateful Dead tribute duo here at Pigeon Head. There is a nice outdoor patio area. Shaded and traveled. Had a wheat ale that was light. Service was friendly. Nice area to chill and relax. read more
We came in for a Beer and Cheese pairing event. Grabbed a couple of beers beforehand while waiting. Since I've only just recently got into trying beer, asked for a couple of tastes before settling on one. The server was very helpful. By doing the beer and cheese pairing (cheeses done by The Wheyfarer) I was able to try some more of the beers also. They have some really nice options that will be nice to come back for. The Silver Sage really was a nice surprise on the citrus notes and sage with just an overall enjoying flavor. read more

Another offering during Tour de Brews that hit the mark. Great space for a group or team outing. Maybe a Wednesday night when it's Trivia Night. Good idea! The beer tender knew all about the fresh on tap beers. I love the heavy sweet ones. Aged in brandy or whiskey barrels even better. Like the Barrel Aged Red Rye. We didn't have anything to eat this trip but have promised to come back. See you there. read more
What a great day today! 2 for 2, 5 star Yelps! Quality/Quantity - Got a flight today - Silver Sage Pale Ale, Jalapeno/Habanero IPA (my favorite, got a 4 pk), Oktoberfest Lager, and of course, my Red Rye Lager. All was good, but the Jalapeno/Habanero IPA was amazing! Decent selection overall. Atmosphere - Small brewery. But large sales. :) Well, I can buy them from Costco at times. Oh, not easy to find, well at least not easy for my GPS, they are under the overpass. Indoor, outdoor seating. Free wifi, if you can figure it out... Cool decor and art. Open 7 days a week, see my picture, Yelp, or their website. Small parking lot in front, but I came early (no HH here) so typically plenty of parking. Service - Service was okay, not good or bad. Loyalty program, see pictures. Promotions, today was 25% off cans which I took advantage of! Thursdays are the best deals in my opinion. $10 growlers! Price - $10 a flight which I think is cheap + tip. 25% off a 4 pk, which came out to a little over $10; again a good deal! Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your success since 2014. And congrats since your ownership in 2017. See you soon. read more

The brewery is tucked back a little bit in the brewery district, but the recently renovated outdoor/Biergarten area has really elevated the space! The outdoor area is both kid and dog-friendly, and all around it's a nice, chill vibe. The owner seems awesome, he collaborates with local, small non-profits for beer releases and events. Sometimes there are food trucks, I'm unsure if there is a regular schedule for this. read more

I really enjoyed my first visit to this terrific brewery in Reno. I immediately liked the quirky decor, that really leans into the Pigeon Head name. The beertender was friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt with greeting us and suggesting samples if we were unsure of what to try. I selected a delicious blonde ale called Honey Nut Beerios. It was an excellent choice. They have plenty of seating options at the bar, at tables in the brewery, or the spacious beer garden. They have board games, dart boards, and corn hole as well. It's a great place to enjoy a great beer! I'd definitely come back on another trip to Reno. read more

We love Pigeon Head! The beers are really good and the new beer garden is such a nice addition. The summer pineapple basil is definitely my favorite seasonal (besides the peach cobbler they did years and years ago that I dream about lol). We've been loving the flight nights they've been doing too! Outside of just loving the place to go when we need a beer we also rented the tap room for a party and all of our friends were in love. It was a great experience and we will probably do it again. read more

Stopped in to try a limited edition beer, got to try their Berry Tea Kolsh which was fantastic. Loved the flavors of the berry and tea, it definitely worked well. I just got a cider that wasn't from this brewery so nothing to gloat about but enjoyed the Kolsh very much. Service was decent, didn't chat too much but provided good service. The inside of the brewery is cool, I liked the wooden tables inside. Be aware though it's located in a sketch part of the city so you may run into some unexpected personalities. But check this place out, definitely good drinks! read more

Pigeon Head is a great beer spot. The interior has an awesome vibe though the patio area can have some novel neighbors. They always seems to have a new brew on deck and ready though sometimes the small batches go fast so you need to visit often to make the most of their talented brew masters. So I strongly recommend stopping by frequently to be sure you don't miss out! read more
Another Reno brewery. It happens to be near lots of others east of downtown. Pigeon Head has a nice variety of styles. Has something for everyone's tastes, and it's a cool place for hanging out. They have pretty good prices. I have tried this a few times with the girl and the last time was one afternoon. One of the good things about this is you can go here and then go to a few more breweries because there's a lot. This is one of the best ones. Atmosphere is very cool. The styles they have are all some type of lager. Even so they have lots of different flavors. Get something light or heavy. A few include coffee, porter, and rye among the styles and these were all good. They don't have a huge beer menu but you can find something. I like the Turkish Coffee Black Lager. It's about $6 a pint. This is a Schwarzbier infused with local Magpie Pica Pica coffee and spices. It's a very fucking strong beer. There's hints of allspice, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, coconut, and vanilla. Sure has lots of flavors. They may have dumped in a whole spice rack when they created it. Finding it can be hard. It's kind of hidden and you need to look for it. They don't have food usually but sometimes they have snacks and other times there's food trucks. read more

Where did Pigeon Head Brewery come from? Founded in 2014? A secret! OMG... you have to look them up, order online and find the place. It's on 5th Street near Wells. Looks like a speakeasy! Call from your car when you park. They bring you your beer and are very cordial. Order Red Rye- a German dark beer that is smooth as anything we've tasted! Really! We also got crowlers of Black Lager, Pilot Porter, and India Pale Lager. Stay tuned for the updates. If you order online on Wednesday or Sunday, you get 25% off, or 25% off a $48 dollar order everyday. We did the Wednesday special. They are open between 12-6. Visit soon!! read more
