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.

The Story of Able Baker

Our brewery derives its name from the first two atomic bombs detonated at the Nevada Test Site. These two test explosions were codenamed after the military’s phonetic alphabet of the time, making them tests “Able” and “Baker”.

The experimentation at the Nevada Test Site led to the refining of the Atomic Bomb and the ushering in of the Nuclear Age. This was a notable time in Nevada as “Atomic Blast” viewing parties were commonplace and several “Miss Atomic” beauty queens were crowned. The Atomic Age influences our artwork and concepts while allowing us to give a respectful nod to Nevada’s unique state history.

The Legend of the Atomic Duck

Legend has it, that a duck was the only animal to survive the Atomic tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site. That duck, bested the blasts, wandered off and waddled into history, becoming forever known as … the “Atomic Duck”.
