Though I just stopped in, grabbed beer and left, the place looked like a brewery. Beers are n tap posted on wall and the bartender was very attentive. I grabbed the amber which was delicious!! read more

Beers were solid but NO food served at this establishment. Nice staff but disappointed when I learned no grub to go with my grog.

Never got served. Guess i dont have a nose ring or a california tat to get helped. Goofy bartender with septum ring completely ignored me at bar. Ill take my $$ to less hipster places read more

What a hidden gem! Located on the North side of Carson it's a short easy drive from Reno. Great beer selection, lovely outdoor space, and the friendliest bartenders! They are family friendly and even had old school video games which our kids loved. You can order food from Sassafras's next door or bring your own snacks. We can't wait to go back! Oh and be sure to try their lime mango soda with any of the sour beers, DELICIOUS! read more

Super friendly bartender and their Ash Canyon Amber Ale is delicious! Added bonus... they are right next door to the Carson Hot-springs! They share a parking lot. So have a pint and then go relax! read more

Shoe Tree Brewing - Ash Canyon Amber Ale from Shoe Tree Brewing Co. - Breweries Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Last time I stopped by Shoe Tree Brewing was about this time last year. And dang, I regret having waited so long in coming back. When they first opened, I was impressed with what they were trying to do, yet found only a couple things I really liked. Now though, they have made a very solid core beer selection, yet still with a lot of interesting and experimental selections to try. They are located adjacent to Carson Hot Springs, which is a cool bonus, and gives you an excuse to make a holiday out of your visit. Parking is very plentiful and easy to get into, just be watchful for any parking signage. Walking through the door into their small, cozy taproom, you are greeted by the very friendly staff, and they direct your attention to the menu chalked up on the wall. Find a seat either inside or out on the patio, and you can settle in for a good drinking experience. You can even bring your four-legged friends, as they are very pet-friendly here! I got to try a fair selection of their beers, starting out with the West Coast Randy, a very smooth and enjoyable 6.9% IPA. Followed that up with the Ash Canyon Amber, which I found very nice as well. Setting down the pint glasses, I went for a few tasters, an was very impressed with the range of styles and flavors. The Fuzzy Lemon, a sour NE IPA, is yummy with a great citrus taste. A pretty good Berlinerweiss to try is the Cherry Godmother, which is very mildly sour and with plenty of fruit flavor. The Margarita Gose, brewed specially for Cinco de Mayo, is interesting, and has an almost soda-esque quality to it. But the absolute must-try beer on tap is the Shoe Horn DIPA. I am so used to most double and triple IPAs being too sweet or losing the bitterness, bordering on being barley wine. But not here. The Shoe Horn drinks like any normal, but flavorful, IPA, yet at 9.2% will take those shoes and kick you if you're not careful. If you are forgoing beer for whatever reason, fear not, as they also have a couple of house-made sodas and cold brew coffee available. The prices here are all very inexpensive for the quality, and one thing Shoe Tree brewing does here I really like is that they have multiple sizes available for all their beers on tap. You can go with a taster-sized glass, or get a four ounce, an eight ounce, and so on up to full sized pints and snifters. Prices vary by beer type and size, so be sure to scope out their very useful pricing matrix hung up behind the bar. Growler fills are available for most everything on tap, in both standard 64 ounce sizes and the smaller 32 ounce growlers, but no crowlers. Cans are also available for a few of their beers, most notably the Shoe Horn. If you are hungry, there are a few snacks available for purchase, or you can order from Sassafras, the restaurant next door, right from the bar. Another advantage to being on the hot springs resort. I have to say that with Shoe Tree Brewing in town, this for sure should put our state capital on the map for anyone searching for unique and delicious brews in the eastern Sierras, and that they are strong proof that the beer scene in northern Nevada is spreading to more and more communities. I am very much looking forward to the next time I can stop by and seeing what else they are brewing up. Cheers guys! read more

I came here with a big group on a Sunday afternoon, and it was the perfect spot to grab a beer after a long weekend. We ordered food from Sassafras nearby, and had several delicious beers ranging from sours to double IPAs. Shoe Tree was extremely dog friendly, with a large outdoor patio and excellent service. I didn't get the bartender's name but he was very helpful and gave those of us who were indecisive many free samples. Thanks for a great time - if I'm in the area again, I'll certainly be back! read more

This locally owned brew runner by 2 brothers made it a very cute little bar. The beer for sure tasted special. I liked the double IPA and loved the mocha porter. It is a nice place to hang out with friend or coworkers after work to chill. The location is ideal cause it is just next to sassafras and next to the hot springs. read more

Love this cozy little brewery. Always a pleasant experience! Brews to please all tastes. read more

Great selection of beers. I highly recommend this out-of-the-way place for a pint.

This place is soon to become a favorite in this area. The beer was excellent. It's been many years since I have been able to drink beer because of the carbonation. However they have 2 beers that get their bubbles by nitronization. The brewmaster educated me on this. This process means the beer loses it's bubbles differently. It makes the beer "softer". I feel like a new kid! I can drink beer like the big kids!!! The vanilla cream ale was wonderful. And the decor with all of the shoes was fun. I'm glad they have outdoor tables as well. I'm so excited for this place. Now if the "big boys" at the legislature would leave these small (microbrewery) places alone and quit taking money from Budweiser, we could watch them flourish. read more

Great date time! Went to the hot spring then sassafrass next door for lunch then here for drinks! Amazing beers, great company, and great service! Completely impressed by this hidden gem! read more

Group of 6 of us went and we were the only people in the place (very nice building and decor) it was a really awkward experience. We ordered a flight of all their beers before we each ordered pints, took about 15 minutes to get, again only people in there. Then we were just stared at the whole time we ate and drank. Weird. The beers... not good, we didn't even finish our taster flight between 6 of us... and no one ordered a pint. I don't get the beers either. 8 beers and three multiples. 2 honey, 2 this and two that. So if your not a honey beer person 25% of the menu out the door. Myself or the other 5 in my group have no intentions of going back. read more

I went here a few weeks ago with a co-worker to order a pony-keg. The bartender poured us a couple of flights with almost all of their offers on tap. I absolutely loved the cherry sour, the root beer stout, and the amber ale! The bartender and owner were both so nice and helpful. Will definitely be back! read more

Yummy cherry Godmother is awesomely sour! Wish there was more seating inside. They do have benches and umbrellas outside which is good for summer. The cream beer was good too. Hope to come next time when it's not so busy. Love their sign with the beers in chalk on the wall. They also have some cheesepuffs for the eating. read more

If you like craft beer and amazing customer service and wonderful drink suggestions, go here! Definitely the best beer in Carson City. Shaun and Lucas are AMAZING bartenders. I make it a point to go have some beers here at least once a week! read more

Favorite Bar in Carson. Family Friendly, amazing customer service, and seriously great beer!

This place is very busy but it is a great brewery somewhat of a diamond in the rough. The IPA's are great and the slurs have a great variety. Service is slow but they were busy. Try this place especially if you love good craft brew. read more

The bartender, Sean was super friendly and attentative. The beer here is DELICIOUS!!! Even bought some to take home it was kinda pricey but totally worth it!!!! Recommend the Herbert sherbet. Awesome sour ale! read more

Great beer, awesome environment and crew. Grab some food next door, take a dip in the hot springs and then stop by for a great time. Good to see businesses that support the community as well! read more

Really great place to have a beer. This place is close to work and perfect for winding down the end of a work day with a cold beer or two. Or three. I can't remember. My favorite is the Ash Canyon, but they have really good IPAs as well. Not the cheapest beer in town, but that's ok. The staff is incredibly friendly and there are a lot of fun things to do while you're drinking beer. As the weather warms up, Shoe Tree has plenty of tables outside with cornhole. Inside, you can play video games like Mario Kart. If you are in Carson City and not downtown, this is the place to go to grab a beer. Sassafras is next door so you can grab food either before or after. Right next to the Hotsprings as well. So you can take a dip, grab some food, and then relax with a cold brew. Sounds like a pretty good day. read more

Super cool place. Great beer choices. I really like the DIPA. Small, but cozy and good vibe. Great restaurant next door....Sassafras. And next door to that re Hot Springs. read more

Great selection from sours to stouts! This place is small and quaint, but I think that's what makes it so cool. My first time in my friends and I did a couple flights so we could get a little taste of everything. They have seasonal beers and some staples. Highly recommend checking them out. read more

This place is beyond amazing! Great people and great beer! The environment here is nothing like your typical place to have a drink. If you want high quality craft beer and a good conversation. This is the place to be! read more

Fun venue but not much available shade when we were there. They do a great job on beer variety. Got a burger next door so we were full and happy when we left read more

We all loved our choices here. I had the Margarita sour, so good. The staff was helpful and nice. We will definitely be back.

I'm happy for these guys, this business has a lot of potential and it is a welcome addition to the community. I was there the other night and tried all of the beers via the full sampler flight. I'll give an enthusiastic five stars for the atmosphere, the service, the concept, the outdoor tables, and the ability to get food from Sassafras next door. That stuff is what will bring me back. For now, I'd only give two or three stars for the beer. The XPIPA and the two stouts were good--I'd drink those again. But the rest of the beers weren't good. The two cream ales were very watery and lacked flavor, I could barely tell I was drinking beer. The American Honey Wheat was unmemorable, and the Bavarian was downright bizarre. It had the weirdest aftertaste, sort of like a cleaning solvent. I'm not sure why the beer list was so repetitive--two stouts, two cream ales, and two honey wheats. Not only is the list repetitive, but it trends heavily toward "sweet" flavors (cream, coffee, honey, root beer, etc.) Hopefully they'll tweak the list to include some other options. Anyway, it's all good. I liked the place a lot and I will definitely be back. Definitely check it out. You'll have to form your own opinions about the beer anyway. read more

Stopped here for a hot springs visit in the same parking lot, and randomly saw this neat-looking brewery here! Shoe Tree has some fantastic-tasting beers, notably their coffee & root beer stouts! YUM! Wonderful bartenders & employees, nothing better than stumbling into a neat brewpub! read more

So happy a brewery opened up in Carson! The atmosphere is great. I tried the sampler. The coffee stout was delicious!!

Awesome place! The place looks SO great and contemporary and the beer is AWESOME. Get a couple of flights and try them all!

Great brewery. Lots of good beer options, growlers, growlettes and crowlers! They also have several options bottled and/or canned. One of my favorite Sacramento breweries at this point. Staff was friendly and chatty and the interior had plenty of seating. It's also kid friendly. read more
