Lake Tahoe AleWorX notes they’re all about “pizza, beer, salad, and scenery,” and that definitely holds true. They have delicious pizza, late-night happy hours, a pour-your-own beer wall, DJ parties, and more — all nestled within the beauty that is Lake Tahoe. Be sure to try out the popular shot ski with some friends!

The Brewery At Lake Tahoe

3542 Lake Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, CA

Established in 1992, the Brewery At Lake Tahoe is the area’s original brewpub, located in a red brick building in the center of town. You’ll love the handcrafted specialty ales and wide-selection of seasonal brews. We recommend the Paramount Porter, which features a delicious chocolatey malt flavor. If you’re feeling hungry, their Michelangelo pizzas (made with their iconic Bad Ass® Ale pizza dough) are a favorite among locals. Plus, they sell a great selection of shirts, hats, and koozies that make the perfect keepsake from your Lake Tahoe vacation.

The Hangar Taproom & Bottle Shop has 30+ beers on tap and a selection of bottles/cans to tempt the taste buds of any beer aficionado. Unlike other locations, the Hangar does not have a kitchen, but does work with off-site vendors on select dates. They also have a selection of fun activities and events to keep you entertained, such as their yard games, fire pits, and “Color & Chug” and live music events. Bring your kids and well-behaved dogs along and snag a hat or hoodie from their merchandise selection as the perfect souvenir from your trip!
