Tahoe Mountain Brewery

Nice little tap room with a few seats around the fireplace. A few tables scattered around and a pool table. A place to come and just relax. Good, solid beer. Good service, except they did mess up with one of our beers on the flight. A cooler with bottles to go and a few snack food items.

In a remote location, but only a few minutes off I-80. Industrial appearance from the outside, with plenty of parking especially hen the other businesses are closed. Inside is very cozy, with a tiny bar, a few bar tables, the couches that seem to be obligatory in brewpubs in this area, a gas fire, and a pool table. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bottles available. Food is chips (or crisps, take your choice). very dog friendly, especially dogs wearing hats. Beers were tasty and creative, available of flights of all or a few. And as a bonus, we stopped by on firkin Friday to find a tasty and on-style English mild with an American twist. Worth going out of your way to visit.

This is the newer production facility and tasting room for Tahoe Mountain and is kind of off the beaten path in what passes for an industrial area in Truckee. Pretty nice and new looking business parks here.

The tasting room is pretty small and there is a tiny little bar where you can drink your beer, but is mostly served for ordering. A few cooler doors of bottled beers they might have available during your visit (picked up a bottle of Viejo Rojo and the Muscat Recolte du Bois during our stop). There are also some tables and couches where you can sit and a bit of seating out front.

They have a tasting flight that lets you choose 8 beers, but I didn’t ask if you can do less/partial flights as there were about 8 beers that I had not tried available during this stop. You can get full beers as well.

In all, this is probably a little more relaxed than what I read about the brewpub down in Tahoe City. But, you don’t have the proximity to the lake as a benefit. Either way, I’m sure both locations are worth your while.

Great place tucked away in the industrial section of Truckee, CA. I like the hidden brewery/tap room better than the restaurant in TC. Fireplace, barrels, dogs, and LOADS of great beer in many styles. Always experimenting and usually hitting their mark.
