Nestled in the heart of the Silver State, the Great Basin Brewing Company stands as a beacon of craft brewing excellence in Nevada. With a legacy spanning nearly three decades, it has rightfully earned its place as the state's most decorated and enduring craft brewery.

From its modest beginnings, Great Basin Brewing Co. has evolved into a true Nevada original. A commitment to sustainability and local sourcing sets it apart, embodying the spirit of the region. Every sip of their world-class craft brews tells a story of dedication to quality and innovation.

At their brewpub locations in Reno, Sparks, and Carson City, patrons are treated not just to exceptional beer but also a delectable menu infused with the essence of their award-winning craft brews. From the daily creation of "Icky bread" crafted from the very grains that bring their famous ICKY IPA to life to the savory bratwurst sausages enriched with the same exceptional beer, Great Basin Brewing Co. truly elevates the culinary experience.

But the commitment to excellence extends beyond the kitchen. Great Basin's bakery team at Liberty Food and Wine Exchange diligently bakes fresh buns, bread, and pretzels daily, creating a symphony of flavors that harmonize with their craft brews.
