RENO-TAHOE BREW CREW<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hello,\u00a0 I am John Turner, owner of City Brew Tours Reno-Tahoe!\u00a0 I love beer, I love the Reno area, and I love to meet people over beer. \u00a0 I am a veteran and thus – a world traveler, sampling local beers everywhere I go (lived outside Munich and Tokyo).\u00a0 Now I want to share the great beers of the Reno-Tahoe area and the brewery’s stories with you!<\/p>\n

When not sampling the local beer and food scene I am cooking at home – pretty much a 365 day per year foodie. Since retiring from the service I have dabbled in ski instructing and now the leap into beer tourism!! We spend a lot of time outdoors with our puppy (she has her own page), skiing the area and putting our feet into the Truckee. \u00a0My favorite beers are West Coast IPAs but I am very diverse in my tastes and will drink just about any style.<\/p>\n

Come with me on one of my tours, it will be amazing fun!<\/p>\n

Where City Brew Tours began<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

City Brew Tours was founded in Burlington, Vermont in 2008 by Chad Brodsky, a college kid who had fallen in love with craft beer while studying in Vienna. Thirsting for more, he returned home and enrolled in the University of Vermont\u2019s \u201cBeer Making 101\u201d class. Fortunately, Chad quickly realized he wasn\u2019t cut out to brew beer. Instead he bought a used church van, put on his lederhosen, and set off to spread the gospel of craft beer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Chad\u2019s timing was perfect. MSNBC had recently pronounced Burlington the fourth best beer city in the world, and Americans were starting to get a taste for craft beer. Vermont Pub and Brewery founder, Greg Noonan, was the first to open his doors to the new business, and Burlington Brew Tours was born. At the tender age of 21, Chad became the first to establish a brewery tour company on the East Coast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Burlington Brew Tours became well known for its unique tours led by beer geeks who doubled as designated drivers. By 2012 Chad had perfected his business model. He left his full-time job in finance and opened a second location in Boston. With tours running in two cities, Chad changed the company\u2019s name to \u201cCity Brew Tours\u201d and set off to add more locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of the close of 2022, City Brew Tours operates in 17 cities and continues to expand. The year 2022 saw the launch of three new locations: Salt Lake City, UT; Jersey Shore, NJ; and Austin, TX. With more locations coming soon, don\u2019t miss out on special announcements\u2014sign up for the City Brew Tours newsletter<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
