Best of Metromix Reno 2012Brewery
Great Basin is now in Reno, too, in case you hadn't heard ...
Our local breweries are a source of pride, so which spot are you most proud to visit? If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!
And the winner is…
Great Basin Brewing Co. (Sparks)
846 Victorian Ave.
Sparks, NV 89431A popular haunt in Sparks' Victorian Square, this brewery is known for its Icky IPA and other seasonal beers (with many awards won) mixed with great food and live music. From open mic series to featured bands on weekends, the mix is mostly jam, roots and acoustic tunes but the place is a pleasant spot with or without live entertainment, making you feel at home with a warm, rustic atmosphere and the actual brewing equipment in plain view. After many years of requests, they've finally opened a Reno location, too. (The Sparks original was picked to represent the Great Basin family.)
Nominees
The Brew Brothers
345 N. Virginia St.
Reno, NV 89501Located inside the Eldorado Casino, Brew Brother's offers a huge selection of beers to choose from as well as amazing food and a great lively atmosphere.

Buckbean Brewing Company *CLOSED*
1155 S. Rock Blvd, Suite 490
Reno, NV 89502Buckbean Brewing Company was just formed in 2007, but you can already find their beer at a host of Northern Nevada bars and Restaurants and events ranging from West Street Urban Market Art Nights to Red Cross fundraisers. Their own location, though, is where to go when you want it direct from the source.
Silver Peak Restaurant & Brewery
124 Wonder St.
Reno, NV 89502Nestled off Virginia Street, Silver Peak Restaurant Brewery offers great food and beer (brewed on site) for lunch and dinner in a casual environment.
