About

For over a decade making biweekly trips between Reno and the Bay Area, we would break up the trip, which would have otherwise been a 4-hour non-stop trek, with a stop for lunch or dinner. We preferred places ‘just off’ the I-80 offering food and craft beer to keep the trip tolerable.

Those trips exposed us to great Brew Pubs and Tap Rooms and exceptionally talented brewers. Our primary requirement was that the brewery needed to be conveniently accessible off I-80. Our experiences caused us to consider refocusing www.symtrekpartners.com  into a site dedicated to noting craft beer breweries along the I-80 corridor between Reno, NV, and Sacramento, CA.

If a brewery is within 5 minutes of the I-80, we want to feature topline information about the brewery so readers can see options to break up the trip to/from the Bay Area and Reno. The site offers information relative to: Directions, Contact Information, Beer Styles offered, Pricing, Ambience, and Food/Entertainment options.

Over time we will expand the reviews.

The craft beer industry has faced and still faces challenges that can determine their sheer survival. The proprietors/ brewers have a passion for craft beer and have put their financials and skills into presenting to the public, their crafted beers in the hope they will resonate with those who appreciate this commitment. On your next I-80 Trek consider stopping at one of these Craft Beer breweries and get to know them. You might find a beer that fits your taste to a “Tee”!

Note: Information presented on this site comes from the featured brewery’s website, conversations with brewery workers who answer our queries via phone, reply to e-mail requests for information, and online information from beer blogs such as Untappd-a great resource. Listed breweries have not paid for the listing here, nor has anyone from Symtrek Partners received free beers. If any information is in error feel free to e-mail us with corrections or call the brewery and complain-info@symtrekpartners.com

Cheers!
