Craft Beer Breweries Making a Mark-Reno to Sacramento

The Lead Dog Tap Room in Reno-4th Street. Notice the slight logo change.

Dedicated to the experience, Lead Dog Brewing has risen to become Nevada’s leading art-forward craft brewery, championing the creative spirit and producing award-winning, creative ales and lagers for beer lovers everywhere. Their labels show some very high-end creative art. Many of their monthly events are centered around modern and some far out looks. Located in the heart of the self-proclaimed Brewery District, their taproom provides a more intimate space to enjoy beers. In 2021, Lead Dog Brewing was acquired by Mammoth Brewing, and somewhere in the mix, Revision Brewing is involved as a partner. Ryan Gaumer, the Founder of Lead Dog, is back as the leader of the kennel. He is very good at craft beer creations.

Food/Entertainment Options are Plentiful.

No they do not allow outside food anymore at either of our locations. Please find the food menus for both locations under the “Visit Us” tab. Note: It is hard to find that tab so the best thing to do is use their contact form to ask about the menu for ordering in from their vendor.

Lead Dog Entertainment — Part of ongoing events at the tap room DJ night.

Check on-line at: https://www.leaddogbrewing.com for schedule of events. They do offer weekly events such as live music, art shows, events for new beer releases, and a popular event called DJ Trivia.

THE SPACE

Best thing to say about the space is that you can park right outside the front door and walk in. Simple as that. Like most breweries in the quasi brewery district they do offer space for events and parties.

The brewery is highly focused on Art Centric events also. They feature label art from Reno based artists. All of their labels are original art from a hand-full of highly talented and recognized commerical artist. It is worth the trip for event at the Tap Room that feature some of these artists.
