After discovering their bourbon on a shelf some time ago, Minden Mill had been on my radar for a…read morewhile. When my buddy and his wife came into town for his birthday, it felt like the perfect excuse to finally make the trip. Spoiler: it did not disappoint. We arrived just after opening at 2pm and were immediately struck by the building -- it's genuinely beautiful, the kind of space that sets the tone before you've even had a drink. We were greeted by Ryan, who was professional, warm, and clearly passionate about what he does. The tour itself was one of the best I've been on. Ryan packed it with information -- not just about the distillery's process, but about the history of Minden and the Gardnerville area. It was engaging, educational, and genuinely fun. I walked away with stories and facts I'm still repeating to anyone who will listen. Our tasting covered four pours: vodka, single barrel, bourbon, and the Goodnight Bourbon. The regular bourbon lived up to everything that put this distillery on my map in the first place. But the real surprise of the day? The gin. I'll be honest -- I wasn't expecting much. But this gin is unlike anything I've tasted. It has earned a permanent spot in my home bar for those occasional gin martini nights. And if you have any love for espresso martinis, do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of their coffee liqueur. It's exceptional. After the tasting, our group headed upstairs to the bar -- which, by the way, is open to everyone, no tour required. We ordered an espresso martini, a gin martini, and a meringue-tini. Each one was distinct and impressive in its own right. The bar staff couldn't have been better -- they had a real knack for highlighting each spirit in a way that spoke directly to your taste buds. It was the perfect way to close out the afternoon. Minden Mill is the kind of place that checks every box: great craft spirits, a stunning venue, an informative and entertaining tour, and a bar that keeps the good times going. Highly recommend making the trip. And when you go -- ask for Ryan.

The layout for the bar was spectacular with three levels laid out inside the old brick building, some overlooking the specialized stills. Everyone has their own preference on flavor, so you'll have to do the tasting to discover what you prefer. The bar makes some tasty cocktails but they are quite proud of them so be prepared for an expensive evening. Overall, a very pleasant and informative experience.

South Tahoe's best kept secret. Seriously the best brewery in all of Tahoe ( and we can say that…read moreconfidently because we have gone to many). All the staff, bartender, beer brewer are AMAZING! The place has a great patio in the back. Dog friendly which is everything! I cannot say enough good things about the bartender. She's so sweet and amazing. The beers are delicious. Every single beer I tasted was amazing I had a hard time deciding what to order. This is Tahoes hidden gem. I really wish I had discovered them est in my stay. We would have been here every day. Can't wait to come back. I recommend the lemon sour, Mangonera, and Pilsner. My wife liked the West Coast IPA ( sorry forgot the name). Give them a taste. You will not be disappointed. We ordered a flat bread and pretzels. Delicious and complimented the beer perfectly.

Great staff that was super attentive and helpful providing recommendations.

The beer selection here is massive and I can often browse for quite some time! There have been many visits to Aloha where I have my hands too full and have to put a few items back! Everything just looks that good! If I had to ask for one thing it would be more single serve options like build your own 6 pack or small cans/boxes of wine. Always nice to grab when you're hitting the park or beach. This is a great spot to pick up something special. Lots of great choices to browse and you won't leave her disappointed!

The owner Pat was incredibly helpful and quickly found the bourbon I was originally looking for, along with suggesting a different whiskey distilled in Nevada that I bought several bottles of.

Stopped by after a hike for a burger and beer and it was a bit of a letdown. The place seemed…read morereally cool inside- good music, decor and vibes. Food, beer and service were meh. I ordered from the food truck outside. Very nice, very young guy took my order. Two smash burgers with cheddar cheese and no onions. I asked if I should get the extra patty for three additional dollars but he said he thought that the burger was plenty big with the single patty. When the food came out my burgers both had onions and Swiss cheese, not cheddar and my fries were ice cold and super greasy. I asked for some fresh fries, but by the time I got them and got back to the table, my burger was cold. I ate it without complaining about the onions and the wrong cheese because I hate to waste meat. And by the way, that beef patty was skimpy. Pretty much the whole burger was toppings, which were under the Patty so it made the burger look bigger. It did have good flavor, but it was unsatisfying in size. Also the fries were hot now but they were very soggy. I got pale ale from the bar as well as a nonalcoholic canned beer for my man. The bartender honestly seemed very disinterested in helping me. I paid and tipped and went back to the table. I didn't think the Pale Ale was anything special, it seemed kind of watery and flat. The nonalcoholic canned beer was very good according to my man. Pretty sad when the best part of your meal came in a can. Between my cost at the food truck and my cost at the bar, the total for lunch was $58. I would likely not return to this business.

South Lake Brewing Company is also dog friendly for those traveling with their pups When we walked in through the back entrance, we were greeted by an employee. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Pilsner, $8- My husband ordered this one for himself. He liked it and had said he would order it again. Not really big on beer (although I do like German beers), I didn't have any. 2 Towns Huckleberry Cider, $8- I ordered this cider for myself and I thought it was fantastic. The sweet flavors of the huckleberry was prominent and excellent as a hard cider. --------------------------- (Total= $16) After my husband paid, the employee helping got our drinks right away. Then we just sat in the corner inside to just enjoy and relax for a while. The place itself was pretty empty, although a small amount of traffic was coming in. The brewery inside was pretty clean and so were the ladies' restrooms. Outside there was a corn hole for those that wished to play and also it was nice that there was some shade as well. If I was a local, I would definitely come back.
