Another Hidden Gem! Just about to go to Carson Hot Springs when we decided to grab a lite bite to eat and a drink. The selection of beers are phenomenal! The prices are incredible too. So affordable!! The best part about the cozy welcoming brewery are the selection and tastes of the beers. Delicious! The bartender was friendly and offered suggestions which is always appreciated. I had the Huckleberry Cosmic Crisp and I also tried my friend's Chai Opener. Wow! Sweet treat for sure. We also ordered a black bean hummus sprinkled with paprika and some pita chips. Loved them both! Definitely a hidden gem. read more

First time here. Huge outdoor patio with covered patio tables, sitting upon a hill with a view of the growing area. Lots of parking. Shares the parking lot with Sassafras Eclectic food joint... a must try. The Shoe Tree Brewing has a large bar facing the brewing tanks. There are several tables with board games and several smaller tables for more privacy. The board shows all that is on tap for a self order. The bar tender was welcoming with knowledge of the brewery and its beers. Service was quick and friendly. There is a refrigerator section full of choices to take home. No food is served. This was a great start to our evening . Will be back when the weather encourages to sit in the sun read more

I came for a visit with some friends on a Wednesday night before a holiday. It was bring your own vinyl night, and a few regulars were spinning some vintage and newer tunes. This has the feel of a small town bar but they are a brewery as well. We were greeted by a local pup that searched out everyone for treats. There is a large selection of house made beer and some craft cocktails as well. It took us awhile to decide what to order, the seleciton is quite large. I was in the mood for a cocktail, so I chose a Kentucky Mule, it was crisp and tangy. Others in my group picked their beers and we had a couple rounds while enjoying the music and catching up with each other. The bartender was very nice and gave us some samples to help decide which drinks to get, she was very nice. It was a great evening spent hanging out before we went and relaxed in the hot springs. read more

Shoe Tree Brewing - Kentucky Mule - Breweries Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Cute little spot tucked into the area surrounding Carson hot springs. Visited on a cool, sunny afternoon to a fairly busy bar. They have outdoor seating along with space inside to enjoy both tap and canned beverages. They offer homemade hummus and chips for anyone interested and there's a neat little Nintendo 64 to play in the corner. The staff are quick to help and everything tasted great! read more

Shoe Tree Brewing - Flight of sours - Breweries Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

I've been coming to Shoe Tree off and on for a while now, and I still get excited every time I walk in. It all started when I discovered their Choco Taco beer (yes, it's as good as it sounds). It's not always available, so I swing by every so often just to check if they've brewed more. Most of the time I get lucky and score a few ice-cold cans -- best feeling ever. They've got a killer variety on their board. Ash Canyon Amber is smooth with a little caramel toastiness, Shoehorn Double IPA packs a big hoppy punch, and Brunswick Blonde is crisp, clean, and way too easy to drink. I'm also eyeing the Cherry Godmother Berlinerweisse next, sounds like cherry pie met summer in a glass. The bartenders are awesome, always friendly, funny, and quick with a recommendation (or a sample) before you even ask. The vibe's always great -- laid-back, dog-friendly, and just full of good energy. They've also got a big private room you can rent for parties or work gatherings. We had a company event there and it was perfect, plenty of space, plenty of beer, and everyone left happy. Bottom line: Shoe Tree is one of the best breweries in Nevada. Great people, creative beers, and a tap list that keeps me coming back "just to check." read more

Shoe Tree Brewing - Flight! Carson Valley Sunrise, Hole#9 Hefe, Apricot Mango, and Coco Burrito! - Breweries Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Quality/Quantity - Tasted both the Ash Canyon Red and Lahontan Brown Ale. Brown wins! - So much more flavor, hops, etc. Also available are to-go cans; see pictures. Atmosphere - Small indoor space, but plenty of outdoor space. See pictures. Stage for entertainment. Outdoor games, although they are fairly worn but it still worked. They also have outdoor taps/a bar. But it was too slow of a day today to use. They had indoor board games also, so if my daughter wants to join me next time, we can check it out. Plenty of shared parking. Open 7 days a week from noon to 9pm. Events; see their website or my pictures. I also like the fact that we can bring our own food, maybe next time. Dog friendly. Family friendly. I think they also have a "rec room;" but again, it was too slow today and I believe it was not being used. Service - Counter service. Great, friendly, and welcoming. Offered me samples, did not even have to ask. Too bad I only had time for one beer... Chore day today and meeting our friends for an early dinner at Zozo's in Reno; see other Yelp reviews. Membership available; see picture or their website. Price - $7.30 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2017 at this location and since 2021 at your Minden location. read more

Shoetree recently won several Great American Beer Festival awards. We visit every Friday and trying their new stuff is always the highlight of the week. Beth is still the best bartender in town and goes above and beyond for our group which includes several children. They keep making improvements to the place and it's looking great inside and out. I've also recently gotten involved in the local Homebrew community and love that Shoetree supports local homebrewers and partners with the local club. Proud to call Shoetree my "home" brewery. read more

1st timer. An A+ experience. Service was too notch. The place had a very welcoming vibe to it. The locals were friendly and welcoming as well. I tried the Hummus and chips. Definitely would recommend. I'll be back read more

I have had shoe tree a couple of times at events or when people have shared a crowler with me but this was our first time in, it was super! When I had it previously it didn't excite me but this time was different, noteworthy. Snowing softly outside, this was a cozy and comfortable respite from the weather. I got to try their grape sour, cherry sour and sherbet sour and all three of them were delightful! I especially liked the sherbet sour but honestly all of them made my mouth pucker in a fun and exciting way. The bartender was very fast and efficient as well as helpful, since we came in with our Nevada Craft Beverage Passports which I know adds one more level of complication. We will absolutely be coming back (possibly after a dip in the springs!) and look forward to what comes next from this great local spot! read more

Shoe Tree is an awesome brewery. Best beers in the Carson/Minden area by any means of evaluation. Friendly bartenders, great service, and a cool vibe. They are all about the beer, and have won numerous awards. (If you're hungry, bring your own food, it's okay). read more

Love this place. Very comfortable and always busy with locals. Great place to meet and chat over some delicious locally brewed beers. Occasionally they have some live music/singing. The last time I stopped by they had a very nice guitarist who also played harmonica. Give this warm and cozy place to chance and enjoy all that it has to offer. read more

This is a nice small bar/brewery that always has a nice selection! They brew a variety of beers from stouts to cream ales to sours. They also have root beer and lemonade, that are both made in house. They do not serve food, but have small snacks available. The bartenders are always friendly and knowledgeable. My recent favorite was the Raspberry Marshmallow sour. Sours are my favorite and not every brewery has them, so I love that Shoe Tree always has a rotating selection of sours. Highly recommend checking them out if you are in the area. read more

This is a quintessential "locals" brewery with great beer. The "Shoehorn " double IPA is excellent and plenty of outdoor seating make his a great spot to hang out . Hungry, in the same parking lot is Sassafras, an eclectic restaurant, and next to that is Carson Hot Springs. It doesn't get any better. read more

10/21/2022: Correction! Whoa~Shoe Tree Brewing was a two-car garage, not a house BUT, next door appears as a house?! Anyway, last visit-10/19/2022, I received a sample of the Shoe Horn Double IPA, i.e., 9.2% alcohol; however, the IPA tasted acidically bitter so, I decided receiving a sip of the "Eddie" which was 9.0% alcohol sans .2%-no big deal. Flabbergasted: I noted Eddie was written as an Imperial Red on the chalkboard on 10/21/2022; however, the photo I took on Wednesday, 10/19/2022 didn't have "Eddie" listed . . . Furthermore, to my utter surprise~oh my, my, my olfactory was reeling: Eddie is so unadulteratedly smooth, no back bite; I immediately ordered filling my Cloverdale, stainless steel growler with Eddie! Geez~From ALL THE GROWLERS I have filled for DECADES, Eddie is KING OF ALL CRAFTED BREWERY BEERS!!!! read more

What a great local hidden hot spot! If you go during the busy time of the day expect to be standing room only as the place is small inside. They've earned quite the following it seems, especially since they now have some serious awards under their belt. I don't even live in town but have been here several times, the drive from Reno isn't bad and the beer makes it worth it. The different varieties of Coco Burrito are my favorite and they can pour up a decent shandy if you're sitting outside in this blistering sun. Seen live music outside on occasion. Most nights they'll even deliver food from the restaurant next door, nothing but good times to be had! read more

I'm always looking to visit breweries when I travel, and I really enjoyed my visit to Shoe Tree Brewing in Carson City. Immediately the service was amazing. Taylor was quick, attentive, friendly, and most of all, extremely knowledgeable about his products and beer in general. The beer selections are incredible, with no bad choices on the men. If you like beer, you will find something you really like. I had the Coco Burrito, which was amazing. I also tried the delicious Bronze Hans. It has a nice, craftsman design style. I found the location easy to access, with ample parking, and a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. There is also a great restaurant next door, from which you can bring food to enjoy the beer at Shoe Tree. The people visiting the brewery while we were there, including a number of regulars, were very friendly as well. I cannot recommend this brewery highly enough. It's amazing. read more

Honestly, this wasn't my favorite place to grab a pint. We went in after the hot springs and right away we noticed the stale stench of beer, which is usually normal for a brewery but this scent was off a little, like OLD beer. Cleanliness could have been better on the tabletops and bar top and the bartender could have been a little nicer. Usually, menus for beer on the wall have the abv listed but they did not. I settled for a sour which was hard to get down. All in all, it was cozy drinking a beer in there with wet hair from the springs. I'd go back if I had to but I wouldn't choose to. read more

Busy little indoor bar with large outdoor seating areas. There is canned beer to go. Mini bottles of wine, too. Super friendly gentleman pourer during the day. They give you little "tastes" so you don't end up having a full pint of something you weren't expecting. Overall, their range of beers taste as they are described. No food, but there is a great restaurant next door. Thee is also a hot springs right there, too. read more

Hands down our favorite brewery,the only drawback is that I have to drive to Carson City from Sparks. No matter the style of beer you like, they have got you covered. We love their amber, kolsch, porters, stouts, and variety of sours. They have numerous IPAs and other seasonal beer varieties. The staff here is always friendly and engaging. You can bring your own food or run next door to get some at Sassafras. There is frequently live music, fun celebration events, and their new rec room. The outdoor seating is plentiful on nice days. If you haven't been, you are missing out on some awesome beer. They have the awards to prove it. We will definitely continue to frequent this business. They also have a second location in Minden for all yall to the south. read more

My boyfriend and I love going to Shoe Tree Brewing. It's a fantastic little place out in Carson City. We have a friend who works out there and we keep coming back for the brews and the company! We love trying the many sours Shoe Tree offers! They make many different types of beers though! Ports, ciders, IPAs, and even some non-alcoholic stuff too! Unfortunately, the non-alcoholic stuff you do have to buy pints in order to try. The last time we were in, we got a lemonade-seltzer and it was FANTASTIC! A time prior to that, we'd gotten a flight and eventually took home the Sherbet Herbert and Cherry Godmother! These sours had been so full bodied and extremely flavorful! Shoe Tree always feel very cleanly as well. The staff is knowledgeable about what's on tap and can make many suggestions to help you find something you would like. I love getting a couple flights and trying as much as I can, responsibly. Covid-19: The only thing I wasn't super impressed with was mask enforcement. I am a stickler for that and I think there were too many folks in the brewery per the capacity limit. Hopefully with the Minden location opening, there will be a better chance of thinning things out across the two. This won't keep me from coming to Shoe Tree but I do like letting people know what I experience. read more

Really enjoyed our visit to Shoe Tree Brewing. Didn't travel to Carson City to go there, but stumbled upon it late in the day when we were in need of a good, cold draft. Found Shoe Tree Brewing on Yelp and went straight there. The building was small, but the beer and ambiance was large. Customer service was friendly and made us feel right at home. Clearly a favorite with the locals, as the place was hopping and it was a Thursday. My wife and I enjoyed their Shoehorn Double IPA. Very tasty. Sure would recommend visiting Shoe Tree Brewing Company on your next visit to Carson City. read more

This might be my new favorite brewery. This place is no frills - they don't serve hipster food or have an elaborate decor but their beer is outstanding. This is a must stop for us when passing through Carson. We fell in love with their Choco-taco inspired porter at Strange Brew last year but then had their Sherbet Herbert at another restaurant and knew we had to stop in. I'm not kidding when I say I love every beer I try here. I had their Atomic which is a hazy IPA this last time and it was smooth and refreshing. But their rice lager was just stand out! We got some to take home with us and it didn't last long. You will not be disappointed. They also have some family friendly options like an in-house root beer and allow kids to sit outside at the tables (not sure about inside?). This is right off the freeway so it's an easy stop and you will not regret it! read more
