    Flight of sours
    Autumn R.

    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!

    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.

    Flight! Carson Valley Sunrise, Hole#9 Hefe, Apricot Mango, and Coco Burrito!

    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."

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Yeh...it was that good! Didn't think about the photo until we were leaving!

    The vibe here is great! Clearly full of regulars and everyone including the bartender was super friendly and inclusive. The beers were some of the best we have had this week.

    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.

    Great atmosphere and beautiful view of the Sierras. Very friendly and attentive staff. I enjoyed the outdoors seating!

    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.

    10/21/2022:  Shoe Tree Brewing was a two-car garage and not a single-story HOUSE????
    Shirley M. F.

    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!!!!

    This is the Coco Burrito, a delicious American porter. It's wonderful.

    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.

    See all

    Three Sheets Brewing Company - Great Service, Underwhelming Food…read more We visited Three Sheets Brewing Company hoping for a satisfying meal and some craft brews, but walked away feeling a bit underwhelmed -- with a few highlights and several misses. Food: The biggest disappointment was the hamburger, which we ordered medium-rare but received well-done. It was dry, overcooked, and lacked any real flavor -- honestly, we wouldn't order it again. The pulled pork sandwich had decent taste, though it was on the dry side and could've used more BBQ sauce to bring it to life. The shrimp were fine but forgettable. The seafood bisque was probably the best thing we had -- rich and creamy with a nice depth of flavor. The crab cakes had good seasoning but were a bit soggy on the outside. We also ordered fries, but they never made it to the table, which was frustrating. Drinks: We tried two of their house beers, and while drinkable, they were just average -- nothing that stood out or made us want to order a second round. Service: On the bright side, our waitress was very pleasant and attentive, doing her best despite the kitchen issues. Her friendly service helped soften the experience. Final Thoughts: While the vibe is relaxed and the service was great, the food execution and beer quality didn't quite deliver. There's potential here, but it needs more consistency -- and attention to detail -- to be worth a return visit.
