As cold as the Rockies

We use pure water from ancient aquifers, deep lakes and Rocky Mountain springs to make a more refreshing beer. As a vital ingredient, we’re committed to leading water stewardship which is why we’ve partnered with our farmers to reduce water usage by as much as 25% while growing our high country Moravian barley.

Donner Party Porter

A tasty porter that will get you through the harshest of winters. The complex flavor profile includes hints of toasted oats, molasses, smooth rich dark chocolate, mocha, and espresso.

We source everything ourselves; from our hops, to our water to our cans. Every decision is a balance between the best possible experience, and the best possible business. No choice is simple, and every one is important. We sweat the small stuff.

We are located at a three-hour drive from Reno and Las Vegas, with nothing but the high desert in between. After such a long drive, who wouldn't be ready for some cold craft beer and delicious bites in our Tap Room, which offers a clean and friendly atmosphere?

Interestingly, the first business to open in Tonopah was a brewery and tap house. Our business is a tribute to the brave and visionary men and women who came to Tonopah in search of fortune, with a touch of craziness.

Our owners, Fred and Nancy Cline, have deep familial roots in Tonopah. They are thrilled to be a part of this great community and play a role in its ongoing growth. In addition to our brewery, they also own the Mizpah Hotel, while their son Ramsey owns the Mizpah Club Casino.​
