From Humble Beginnings to
Nevada's most award winning brewery
Welcome to a Nevada Original, Great Basin Brewing Co. where we pride ourselves on using as many sustainably grown and locally sourced ingredients as possible. Our passion is to make items from scratch, using our award winning craft beer in the dishes that we serve. Like our Icky bread that's made daily from the spent grain used to brew our famous ICKY IPA and our bratwurst sausage, made fresh using the same great beer. All of our buns, bread and pretzels are also baked daily by our bakery team at Liberty Food and Wine Exchange. Founders Tom and Bonda Young started Great Basin Brewing Co. in 1993 with their pioneering spirit and a love for independent craft beer. Through the years they stayed true to their passion and won a mountain of craft beer awards including 16 medals at the prestigious Great American Beer Festival and 9 at the international World Beer Cup. Mark Estee, owner of Reno Local Food Group, is committed to continuing the legacy they have left by continuing to be active members in the community while providing great hospitality for our guests. Great Basin Brewing Company, where independent craft beer meets sustainably made local food.
