Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse
About Us:Virginia City Brewery & Taphouse was originated by three partners. Longtime residents of the Carson City and Reno areas, the team has worked in the Piping/Mechanical/HVAC Industry in these areas for the past 30 years. Over the years they have worked on and toured many breweries that gave them the inspiration to build their own, their way. The team acquired a local and knowledgeable brewmaster veteran, who worked with them to develop ideas and practices making their plans a reality. Now the only question was - Where?  They decided to break the modern mold and looked for an area that was rich in local history, an area that is friendly where people like to get away for a day or an evening, something different. Where better than Historical Virginia City, Nevada? Virginia City's deep, rich history is a perfect setting for this Brewery and opens in the same town that originated brewpubs in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse follows a long line of historical brewers in this city. 1860 saw the first brewery in the state, Carson City Brewing Company. After this Brewery opened, it was followed by several local Virginia City Breweries, such as: The Pacific, the Californiaian, Washington, Bavaria, Virginia City Brewery, The Philadelphia, The Nevada, The Union Brewery, and several more, all during the mid-1860's thru early 1900's the breweries slowly dissolved, as the mining industry was about played out, and the population dwindled.The Union Brewery survived into the 1930's until prohibition. That was the last operational brewery in Virginia City during this time period. As larger nationwide breweries started taking over many areas, the smaller breweries started to close. Carson City Brewery closed in 1948, and the Reno Brewery closed in 1957. There were no more breweries in the state.It wasn't until around 1985, a local Virginia City resident and owner of the Union Brewery Saloon, Rick Hoover, worked with the state to pass a new law to allow Brewpubs. In 1987 the Union Brewery started beer production again, Brewpubs were legalized in 1993, thanks to Mr. Hoover, and the first brewpub in Nevada was in Virginia City at the Union Brewery Saloon, open again.The Union operated as a brewery until around 1995, where it again went dormant. The Union Brewery and Virginia City became the father and leader for all brewpubs to start in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse has now become the first brewery to operate in this historical town since 1995, and is proud to be operational in the area where the first Brewery/ Brewpubs originated in the state, and the same area that kicked off the growth of area and state brewery's.Our building was built after the great fire of 1875. It was first a restaurant bakery in the 1880's and eventually a grocery store in the 1930's-1960's and was a gift shop when we acquired it in 2014. We cleaned up the entire interior and modified the entire inside of the building to accommodate a 15BBL brewing system, and a Bar. The original brick interior and structure remained, as did the original cooler from the 1930's that we now use to store kegs. We have 4 - 15BBL fermenters, 1 - 15BBL Brite, 1 - 15BBL Brewhouse system that runs on steam, in our 1,300 sqft facility.We look forward to operate a public house that is open, unique, and welcoming to all that visit us. Come see us in our historical building and town and enjoy fresh locally made cold draft beers, made with a commitment to quality, for years to come.

Longtime residents of the Carson City and Reno areas, the team has worked in the Piping/Mechanical/HVAC Industry in these areas for the past 30 years. Over the years they have worked on and toured many breweries that gave them the inspiration to build their own, their way. The team acquired a local and knowledgeable brewmaster veteran, who worked with them to develop ideas and practices making their plans a reality. Now the only question was - Where?  They decided to break the modern mold and looked for an area that was rich in local history, an area that is friendly where people like to get away for a day or an evening, something different. Where better than Historical Virginia City, Nevada? Virginia City's deep, rich history is a perfect setting for this Brewery and opens in the same town that originated brewpubs in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse follows a long line of historical brewers in this city. 1860 saw the first brewery in the state, Carson City Brewing Company. After this Brewery opened, it was followed by several local Virginia City Breweries, such as: The Pacific, the Californiaian, Washington, Bavaria, Virginia City Brewery, The Philadelphia, The Nevada, The Union Brewery, and several more, all during the mid-1860's thru early 1900's the breweries slowly dissolved, as the mining industry was about played out, and the population dwindled.The Union Brewery survived into the 1930's until prohibition. That was the last operational brewery in Virginia City during this time period. As larger nationwide breweries started taking over many areas, the smaller breweries started to close. Carson City Brewery closed in 1948, and the Reno Brewery closed in 1957. There were no more breweries in the state.It wasn't until around 1985, a local Virginia City resident and owner of the Union Brewery Saloon, Rick Hoover, worked with the state to pass a new law to allow Brewpubs. In 1987 the Union Brewery started beer production again, Brewpubs were legalized in 1993, thanks to Mr. Hoover, and the first brewpub in Nevada was in Virginia City at the Union Brewery Saloon, open again.The Union operated as a brewery until around 1995, where it again went dormant. The Union Brewery and Virginia City became the father and leader for all brewpubs to start in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse has now become the first brewery to operate in this historical town since 1995, and is proud to be operational in the area where the first Brewery/ Brewpubs originated in the state, and the same area that kicked off the growth of area and state brewery's.Our building was built after the great fire of 1875. It was first a restaurant bakery in the 1880's and eventually a grocery store in the 1930's-1960's and was a gift shop when we acquired it in 2014. We cleaned up the entire interior and modified the entire inside of the building to accommodate a 15BBL brewing system, and a Bar. The original brick interior and structure remained, as did the original cooler from the 1930's that we now use to store kegs. We have 4 - 15BBL fermenters, 1 - 15BBL Brite, 1 - 15BBL Brewhouse system that runs on steam, in our 1,300 sqft facility.We look forward to operate a public house that is open, unique, and welcoming to all that visit us.

Longtime residents of the Carson City and Reno areas, the team has worked in the Piping/Mechanical/HVAC Industry in these areas for the past 30 years. Over the years they have worked on and toured many breweries that gave them the inspiration to build their own, their way. The team acquired a local and knowledgeable brewmaster veteran, who worked with them to develop ideas and practices making their plans a reality. Now the only question was - Where?  They decided to break the modern mold and looked for an area that was rich in local history, an area that is friendly where people like to get away for a day or an evening, something different. Where better than Historical Virginia City, Nevada? Virginia City's deep, rich history is a perfect setting for this Brewery and opens in the same town that originated brewpubs in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse follows a long line of historical brewers in this city. 1860 saw the first brewery in the state, Carson City Brewing Company. After this Brewery opened, it was followed by several local Virginia City Breweries, such as: The Pacific, the Californiaian, Washington, Bavaria, Virginia City Brewery, The Philadelphia, The Nevada, The Union Brewery, and several more, all during the mid-1860's thru early 1900's the breweries slowly dissolved, as the mining industry was about played out, and the population dwindled.The Union Brewery survived into the 1930's until prohibition. That was the last operational brewery in Virginia City during this time period. As larger nationwide breweries started taking over many areas, the smaller breweries started to close. Carson City Brewery closed in 1948, and the Reno Brewery closed in 1957. There were no more breweries in the state.It wasn't until around 1985, a local Virginia City resident and owner of the Union Brewery Saloon, Rick Hoover, worked with the state to pass a new law to allow Brewpubs. In 1987 the Union Brewery started beer production again, Brewpubs were legalized in 1993, thanks to Mr. Hoover, and the first brewpub in Nevada was in Virginia City at the Union Brewery Saloon, open again.The Union operated as a brewery until around 1995, where it again went dormant. The Union Brewery and Virginia City became the father and leader for all brewpubs to start in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse has now become the first brewery to operate in this historical town since 1995, and is proud to be operational in the area where the first Brewery/ Brewpubs originated in the state, and the same area that kicked off the growth of area and state brewery's.Our building was built after the great fire of 1875. It was first a restaurant bakery in the 1880's and eventually a grocery store in the 1930's-1960's and was a gift shop when we acquired it in 2014. We cleaned up the entire interior and modified the entire inside of the building to accommodate a 15BBL brewing system, and a Bar. The original brick interior and structure remained, as did the original cooler from the 1930's that we now use to store kegs. We have 4 - 15BBL fermenters, 1 - 15BBL Brite, 1 - 15BBL Brewhouse system that runs on steam, in our 1,300 sqft facility.We look forward to operate a public house that is open, unique, and welcoming to all that visit us. Come see us in our historical building and town and enjoy fresh locally made cold draft beers, made with a commitment to quality, for years to come.</p> </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/virginia-city-nv/report/place/virginia-city-brewery-and-taphouse-virginia-city-nv.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

Longtime residents of the Carson City and Reno areas, the team has worked in the Piping/Mechanical/HVAC Industry in these areas for the past 30 years. Over the years they have worked on and toured many breweries that gave them the inspiration to build their own, their way. The team acquired a local and knowledgeable brewmaster veteran, who worked with them to develop ideas and practices making their plans a reality. Now the only question was - Where?  They decided to break the modern mold and looked for an area that was rich in local history, an area that is friendly where people like to get away for a day or an evening, something different. Where better than Historical Virginia City, Nevada? Virginia City's deep, rich history is a perfect setting for this Brewery and opens in the same town that originated brewpubs in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse follows a long line of historical brewers in this city. 1860 saw the first brewery in the state, Carson City Brewing Company. After this Brewery opened, it was followed by several local Virginia City Breweries, such as: The Pacific, the Californiaian, Washington, Bavaria, Virginia City Brewery, The Philadelphia, The Nevada, The Union Brewery, and several more, all during the mid-1860's thru early 1900's the breweries slowly dissolved, as the mining industry was about played out, and the population dwindled.The Union Brewery survived into the 1930's until prohibition. That was the last operational brewery in Virginia City during this time period. As larger nationwide breweries started taking over many areas, the smaller breweries started to close. Carson City Brewery closed in 1948, and the Reno Brewery closed in 1957. There were no more breweries in the state.It wasn't until around 1985, a local Virginia City resident and owner of the Union Brewery Saloon, Rick Hoover, worked with the state to pass a new law to allow Brewpubs. In 1987 the Union Brewery started beer production again, Brewpubs were legalized in 1993, thanks to Mr. Hoover, and the first brewpub in Nevada was in Virginia City at the Union Brewery Saloon, open again.The Union operated as a brewery until around 1995, where it again went dormant. The Union Brewery and Virginia City became the father and leader for all brewpubs to start in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse has now become the first brewery to operate in this historical town since 1995, and is proud to be operational in the area where the first Brewery/ Brewpubs originated in the state, and the same area that kicked off the growth of area and state brewery's.Our building was built after the great fire of 1875. It was first a restaurant bakery in the 1880's and eventually a grocery store in the 1930's-1960's and was a gift shop when we acquired it in 2014. We cleaned up the entire interior and modified the entire inside of the building to accommodate a 15BBL brewing system, and a Bar. The original brick interior and structure remained, as did the original cooler from the 1930's that we now use to store kegs. We have 4 - 15BBL fermenters, 1 - 15BBL Brite, 1 - 15BBL Brewhouse system that runs on steam, in our 1,300 sqft facility.We look forward to operate a public house that is open, unique, and welcoming to all that visit us. Come see us in our historical building and town and enjoy fresh locally made cold draft beers, made with a commitment to quality, for years to come.</p> </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/virginia-city-nv/report/place/virginia-city-brewery-and-taphouse-virginia-city-nv.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

Longtime residents of the Carson City and Reno areas, the team has worked in the Piping/Mechanical/HVAC Industry in these areas for the past 30 years. Over the years they have worked on and toured many breweries that gave them the inspiration to build their own, their way. The team acquired a local and knowledgeable brewmaster veteran, who worked with them to develop ideas and practices making their plans a reality. Now the only question was - Where?  They decided to break the modern mold and looked for an area that was rich in local history, an area that is friendly where people like to get away for a day or an evening, something different. Where better than Historical Virginia City, Nevada? Virginia City's deep, rich history is a perfect setting for this Brewery and opens in the same town that originated brewpubs in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse follows a long line of historical brewers in this city. 1860 saw the first brewery in the state, Carson City Brewing Company. After this Brewery opened, it was followed by several local Virginia City Breweries, such as: The Pacific, the Californiaian, Washington, Bavaria, Virginia City Brewery, The Philadelphia, The Nevada, The Union Brewery, and several more, all during the mid-1860's thru early 1900's the breweries slowly dissolved, as the mining industry was about played out, and the population dwindled.The Union Brewery survived into the 1930's until prohibition. That was the last operational brewery in Virginia City during this time period. As larger nationwide breweries started taking over many areas, the smaller breweries started to close. Carson City Brewery closed in 1948, and the Reno Brewery closed in 1957. There were no more breweries in the state.It wasn't until around 1985, a local Virginia City resident and owner of the Union Brewery Saloon, Rick Hoover, worked with the state to pass a new law to allow Brewpubs. In 1987 the Union Brewery started beer production again, Brewpubs were legalized in 1993, thanks to Mr. Hoover, and the first brewpub in Nevada was in Virginia City at the Union Brewery Saloon, open again.The Union operated as a brewery until around 1995, where it again went dormant. The Union Brewery and Virginia City became the father and leader for all brewpubs to start in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse has now become the first brewery to operate in this historical town since 1995, and is proud to be operational in the area where the first Brewery/ Brewpubs originated in the state, and the same area that kicked off the growth of area and state brewery's.Our building was built after the great fire of 1875. It was first a restaurant bakery in the 1880's and eventually a grocery store in the 1930's-1960's and was a gift shop when we acquired it in 2014. We cleaned up the entire interior and modified the entire inside of the building to accommodate a 15BBL brewing system, and a Bar. The original brick interior and structure remained, as did the original cooler from the 1930's that we now use to store kegs. We have 4 - 15BBL fermenters, 1 - 15BBL Brite, 1 - 15BBL Brewhouse system that runs on steam, in our 1,300 sqft facility.We look forward to operate a public house that is open, unique, and welcoming to all that visit us.

Longtime residents of the Carson City and Reno areas, the team has worked in the Piping/Mechanical/HVAC Industry in these areas for the past 30 years. Over the years they have worked on and toured many breweries that gave them the inspiration to build their own, their way. The team acquired a local and knowledgeable brewmaster veteran, who worked with them to develop ideas and practices making their plans a reality. Now the only question was - Where?  They decided to break the modern mold and looked for an area that was rich in local history, an area that is friendly where people like to get away for a day or an evening, something different. Where better than Historical Virginia City, Nevada? Virginia City's deep, rich history is a perfect setting for this Brewery and opens in the same town that originated brewpubs in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse follows a long line of historical brewers in this city. 1860 saw the first brewery in the state, Carson City Brewing Company. After this Brewery opened, it was followed by several local Virginia City Breweries, such as: The Pacific, the Californiaian, Washington, Bavaria, Virginia City Brewery, The Philadelphia, The Nevada, The Union Brewery, and several more, all during the mid-1860's thru early 1900's the breweries slowly dissolved, as the mining industry was about played out, and the population dwindled.The Union Brewery survived into the 1930's until prohibition. That was the last operational brewery in Virginia City during this time period. As larger nationwide breweries started taking over many areas, the smaller breweries started to close. Carson City Brewery closed in 1948, and the Reno Brewery closed in 1957. There were no more breweries in the state.It wasn't until around 1985, a local Virginia City resident and owner of the Union Brewery Saloon, Rick Hoover, worked with the state to pass a new law to allow Brewpubs. In 1987 the Union Brewery started beer production again, Brewpubs were legalized in 1993, thanks to Mr. Hoover, and the first brewpub in Nevada was in Virginia City at the Union Brewery Saloon, open again.The Union operated as a brewery until around 1995, where it again went dormant. The Union Brewery and Virginia City became the father and leader for all brewpubs to start in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse has now become the first brewery to operate in this historical town since 1995, and is proud to be operational in the area where the first Brewery/ Brewpubs originated in the state, and the same area that kicked off the growth of area and state brewery's.Our building was built after the great fire of 1875. It was first a restaurant bakery in the 1880's and eventually a grocery store in the 1930's-1960's and was a gift shop when we acquired it in 2014. We cleaned up the entire interior and modified the entire inside of the building to accommodate a 15BBL brewing system, and a Bar. The original brick interior and structure remained, as did the original cooler from the 1930's that we now use to store kegs. We have 4 - 15BBL fermenters, 1 - 15BBL Brite, 1 - 15BBL Brewhouse system that runs on steam, in our 1,300 sqft facility.We look forward to operate a public house that is open, unique, and welcoming to all that visit us. Come see us in our historical building and town and enjoy fresh locally made cold draft beers, made with a commitment to quality, for years to come.</p> </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/virginia-city-nv/report/place/virginia-city-brewery-and-taphouse-virginia-city-nv.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.

Longtime residents of the Carson City and Reno areas, the team has worked in the Piping/Mechanical/HVAC Industry in these areas for the past 30 years. Over the years they have worked on and toured many breweries that gave them the inspiration to build their own, their way. The team acquired a local and knowledgeable brewmaster veteran, who worked with them to develop ideas and practices making their plans a reality. Now the only question was - Where?  They decided to break the modern mold and looked for an area that was rich in local history, an area that is friendly where people like to get away for a day or an evening, something different. Where better than Historical Virginia City, Nevada? Virginia City's deep, rich history is a perfect setting for this Brewery and opens in the same town that originated brewpubs in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse follows a long line of historical brewers in this city. 1860 saw the first brewery in the state, Carson City Brewing Company. After this Brewery opened, it was followed by several local Virginia City Breweries, such as: The Pacific, the Californiaian, Washington, Bavaria, Virginia City Brewery, The Philadelphia, The Nevada, The Union Brewery, and several more, all during the mid-1860's thru early 1900's the breweries slowly dissolved, as the mining industry was about played out, and the population dwindled.The Union Brewery survived into the 1930's until prohibition. That was the last operational brewery in Virginia City during this time period. As larger nationwide breweries started taking over many areas, the smaller breweries started to close. Carson City Brewery closed in 1948, and the Reno Brewery closed in 1957. There were no more breweries in the state.It wasn't until around 1985, a local Virginia City resident and owner of the Union Brewery Saloon, Rick Hoover, worked with the state to pass a new law to allow Brewpubs. In 1987 the Union Brewery started beer production again, Brewpubs were legalized in 1993, thanks to Mr. Hoover, and the first brewpub in Nevada was in Virginia City at the Union Brewery Saloon, open again.The Union operated as a brewery until around 1995, where it again went dormant. The Union Brewery and Virginia City became the father and leader for all brewpubs to start in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse has now become the first brewery to operate in this historical town since 1995, and is proud to be operational in the area where the first Brewery/ Brewpubs originated in the state, and the same area that kicked off the growth of area and state brewery's.Our building was built after the great fire of 1875. It was first a restaurant bakery in the 1880's and eventually a grocery store in the 1930's-1960's and was a gift shop when we acquired it in 2014. We cleaned up the entire interior and modified the entire inside of the building to accommodate a 15BBL brewing system, and a Bar. The original brick interior and structure remained, as did the original cooler from the 1930's that we now use to store kegs. We have 4 - 15BBL fermenters, 1 - 15BBL Brite, 1 - 15BBL Brewhouse system that runs on steam, in our 1,300 sqft facility.We look forward to operate a public house that is open, unique, and welcoming to all that visit us.

Longtime residents of the Carson City and Reno areas, the team has worked in the Piping/Mechanical/HVAC Industry in these areas for the past 30 years. Over the years they have worked on and toured many breweries that gave them the inspiration to build their own, their way. The team acquired a local and knowledgeable brewmaster veteran, who worked with them to develop ideas and practices making their plans a reality. Now the only question was - Where?  They decided to break the modern mold and looked for an area that was rich in local history, an area that is friendly where people like to get away for a day or an evening, something different. Where better than Historical Virginia City, Nevada? Virginia City's deep, rich history is a perfect setting for this Brewery and opens in the same town that originated brewpubs in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse follows a long line of historical brewers in this city. 1860 saw the first brewery in the state, Carson City Brewing Company. After this Brewery opened, it was followed by several local Virginia City Breweries, such as: The Pacific, the Californiaian, Washington, Bavaria, Virginia City Brewery, The Philadelphia, The Nevada, The Union Brewery, and several more, all during the mid-1860's thru early 1900's the breweries slowly dissolved, as the mining industry was about played out, and the population dwindled.The Union Brewery survived into the 1930's until prohibition. That was the last operational brewery in Virginia City during this time period. As larger nationwide breweries started taking over many areas, the smaller breweries started to close. Carson City Brewery closed in 1948, and the Reno Brewery closed in 1957. There were no more breweries in the state.It wasn't until around 1985, a local Virginia City resident and owner of the Union Brewery Saloon, Rick Hoover, worked with the state to pass a new law to allow Brewpubs. In 1987 the Union Brewery started beer production again, Brewpubs were legalized in 1993, thanks to Mr. Hoover, and the first brewpub in Nevada was in Virginia City at the Union Brewery Saloon, open again.The Union operated as a brewery until around 1995, where it again went dormant. The Union Brewery and Virginia City became the father and leader for all brewpubs to start in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse has now become the first brewery to operate in this historical town since 1995, and is proud to be operational in the area where the first Brewery/ Brewpubs originated in the state, and the same area that kicked off the growth of area and state brewery's.Our building was built after the great fire of 1875. It was first a restaurant bakery in the 1880's and eventually a grocery store in the 1930's-1960's and was a gift shop when we acquired it in 2014. We cleaned up the entire interior and modified the entire inside of the building to accommodate a 15BBL brewing system, and a Bar. The original brick interior and structure remained, as did the original cooler from the 1930's that we now use to store kegs. We have 4 - 15BBL fermenters, 1 - 15BBL Brite, 1 - 15BBL Brewhouse system that runs on steam, in our 1,300 sqft facility.We look forward to operate a public house that is open, unique, and welcoming to all that visit us.

Longtime residents of the Carson City and Reno areas, the team has worked in the Piping/Mechanical/HVAC Industry in these areas for the past 30 years. Over the years they have worked on and toured many breweries that gave them the inspiration to build their own, their way. The team acquired a local and knowledgeable brewmaster veteran, who worked with them to develop ideas and practices making their plans a reality. Now the only question was - Where?  They decided to break the modern mold and looked for an area that was rich in local history, an area that is friendly where people like to get away for a day or an evening, something different. Where better than Historical Virginia City, Nevada? Virginia City's deep, rich history is a perfect setting for this Brewery and opens in the same town that originated brewpubs in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse follows a long line of historical brewers in this city. 1860 saw the first brewery in the state, Carson City Brewing Company. After this Brewery opened, it was followed by several local Virginia City Breweries, such as: The Pacific, the Californiaian, Washington, Bavaria, Virginia City Brewery, The Philadelphia, The Nevada, The Union Brewery, and several more, all during the mid-1860's thru early 1900's the breweries slowly dissolved, as the mining industry was about played out, and the population dwindled.The Union Brewery survived into the 1930's until prohibition. That was the last operational brewery in Virginia City during this time period. As larger nationwide breweries started taking over many areas, the smaller breweries started to close. Carson City Brewery closed in 1948, and the Reno Brewery closed in 1957. There were no more breweries in the state.It wasn't until around 1985, a local Virginia City resident and owner of the Union Brewery Saloon, Rick Hoover, worked with the state to pass a new law to allow Brewpubs. In 1987 the Union Brewery started beer production again, Brewpubs were legalized in 1993, thanks to Mr. Hoover, and the first brewpub in Nevada was in Virginia City at the Union Brewery Saloon, open again.The Union operated as a brewery until around 1995, where it again went dormant. The Union Brewery and Virginia City became the father and leader for all brewpubs to start in the state of Nevada.The Virginia City Brewery and Taphouse has now become the first brewery to operate in this historical town since 1995, and is proud to be operational in the area where the first Brewery/ Brewpubs originated in the state, and the same area that kicked off the growth of area and state brewery's.Our building was built after the great fire of 1875. It was first a restaurant bakery in the 1880's and eventually a grocery store in the 1930's-1960's and was a gift shop when we acquired it in 2014. We cleaned up the entire interior and modified the entire inside of the building to accommodate a 15BBL brewing system, and a Bar. The original brick interior and structure remained, as did the original cooler from the 1930's that we now use to store kegs. We have 4 - 15BBL fermenters, 1 - 15BBL Brite, 1 - 15BBL Brewhouse system that runs on steam, in our 1,300 sqft facility.We look forward to operate a public house that is open, unique, and welcoming to all that visit us. Come see us in our historical building and town and enjoy fresh locally made cold draft beers, made with a commitment to quality, for years to come.</p> </div> <div class="reportthis" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <form method="post" action="/virginia-city-nv/report/place/virginia-city-brewery-and-taphouse-virginia-city-nv.html"> <button type="submit" class="btn btnregister pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">Flag This Place</button> </form> </div> <div class="report_button_message">Please use "Flag This Place" to alert us about content that is inappropriate or needs immediate attention.
