First Place
Shoe Tree Brewing Co.
Jeff and Paul Young are brothers that moved to Carson City in 1992. The brothers have always shared a close bond. The bond grew in 2008, when they found a shared passion for home brewing. The hobby quickly grew into a dream of having a brewery of their own. They began brewing professionally at High Sierra Brewing Co., during which they won a gold medal for their Honey Ale at the Great American Beer Festival in 2013.
