Discover the brewing history of Lake Tahoe! Well, at least the northwest corner of it.
Truckee was a quiet stop on the Transcontinental Railroad, but housed one of the most well-known breweries of the late 19th century. Boca Brewery won awards from California to Europe and could ship their product around the country by packing train cars with the ample amount of ice in the area. The town has recently become a popular skiing destination and is home to a thriving craft beer scene, most notably the exciting Fifty Fifty Brewing Company.
Suggested beers when visiting: Eclipse Stout (Fifty Fifty) and Neon Rainbow IPA (Good Wolf).
Information for this episode comes from Cap Radio, Sierra Sun, Tahoe Daily Tribune, and the Truckee Donner Historical Society.
