Choosing a spot to enjoy craft beer in Reno often means seeking more than just a pint—it’s about the experience, the story behind the brew, and the connection you feel while sipping it. We’ve built 10 Torr Distilling & Brewing with that in mind, blending tradition with innovation in a space that reflects the spirit of Northern Nevada. Whether you’re a local or visiting town, discovering a brewery that stands apart can turn an ordinary night into a memorable one.
What makes a brewery distinct here in Reno goes beyond the beer itself. It’s about the environment, the people, and how we approach craft brewing differently. From the moment you step into our taproom, you enter a space where craftsmanship meets community, creating a genuine atmosphere for enjoyers of all tastes. Sharing our passion through every glass is central to what we do, making us more than just another brewery on the map.
Finding a brewery that respects its roots while pushing boundaries can be rare, but that’s exactly what we’ve strived to achieve. Our location within a remodeled 1940s-era grocery store carries history, yet the brewing equipment we designed and built in-house brings a modern edge to our process. It’s a mix of old and new, perfectly balancing heritage and innovation in the heart of Reno.
Standing out in a region bustling with breweries means embracing what makes us unique while delivering quality you can taste. Our approach focuses heavily on precision and care, from selecting independently grown hops and local honey to using advanced brewing technology. This commitment to detail ensures our beers offer a fresh and authentic flavor profile that customers keep returning for. Many breweries rely on chemical fining agents, but we clarify our beer through centrifuge methods, preserving natural aromas and taste without additives.
Additionally, our integration of local ingredients reflects a dedication to the Northern Nevada community, supporting small producers while giving our beer a distinctly regional character. Many of our patrons appreciate knowing exactly where their flavors come from, which adds another layer of appreciation to every sip. This relationship with the surrounding area keeps our brewing process grounded in the reality of Reno’s agricultural and artisanal strengths.
Our in-house design and construction of brewing and distilling equipment also set us apart. This engineering capability not only allows us to maintain high quality and efficiency but also gives us the flexibility to experiment and innovate. The result is a lineup of beers and spirits that feel both handcrafted and cutting-edge—a combination that appeals to a broad range of craft beverage lovers across Northern Nevada and beyond.
While many know us for our beer, the vacuum distillation process we use for spirits really defines our uniqueness. This method distills under low pressure and below room temperature, which means the natural flavors of the ingredients stay pure and unaltered. Unlike traditional distillation, which uses heat and can produce harsh flavors, our cold distillation results in smooth, clean spirits that show off their true character.
Vacuum distillation is uncommon worldwide, and even rarer here in Nevada. Producing both our vodka and gin through this technique emphasizes our commitment to quality and innovation. By controlling the process so carefully, we create spirits that are not only drinkable straight but also incredible in cocktails, delivering a fresh taste experience for anyone who enjoys craft beverages.
Being one of the few distilleries globally to produce everything “grain to glass” adds an extra layer of craftsmanship to what we offer. From the selection of grains to the final bottle, the process remains under our watchful eye, ensuring consistency and excellence. It’s this level of control and detail that reflects our philosophy—attention to the smallest parts yields the best overall product.
Sometimes, the best way to appreciate a beer is to have it in your own space, whether for sharing with friends or savoring quietly at home. That’s why we offer our flagship and seasonal beers To-Go, making it simple for you to take the 10 Torr experience beyond the taproom. Before you commit to a growler or pack, we encourage visiting our taproom to sample pints and find what truly suits your palate.
Sampling on-site means you get to enjoy the beer as it’s meant to be served, with freshness and temperature controlled for the perfect experience. We have regular visitors who start with a few tasters, deciding on their favorites before heading out with bottles or cans. This approach removes any guesswork—you know exactly what you’re taking home.
We believe offering To-Go options fits with our goal of convenience and customer satisfaction. Whether you want to keep a few cans in the fridge or bring beer to a party, buying directly from the source guarantees freshness and supports the local craft scene in Reno. Plus, it’s a chance to keep the 10 Torr flavor in your life long after your visit.
One of the most exciting parts of brewing is experimenting—trying new recipes, ingredients, and styles that don’t always make it to wider distribution. Our taproom is the exclusive home for these one-off pilot beers that you won’t find anywhere else. Visiting us means you get access to unique brews that change regularly, offering something special for those seeking fresh experiences.
These small-batch beers let our brewers push boundaries and explore creativity without the pressure of mass production.

Most guests find these exclusive taps a highlight of their visit, sparking lively conversations and new favorites.
Frequent patrons appreciate knowing that every trip brings the possibility of a new flavor adventure. The taproom’s rotating selection keeps things refreshing and encourages beer lovers to keep coming back. It’s not just about drinking but about engaging with a story told beer by beer, uniquely shared only at this brewery in Reno.
