Carson City's Shoe Tree Brewing Company expands, to open new Minden location

According to an announcement by Shoe Tree Brewing Company, Carson City’s award winning, locally-owned brewery located next to Sassafras, will be expanding to Minden with a second location.

The Carson City brewery, which first opened its doors in 2017, is known for fundraising for causes and individuals who need support within the community, from raising money for local children’s hospital bills to simply raising money for non-profits and charities in the area. It is located at 1496 Old Hot Springs Rd, Carson City.

The new location will open sometime in April and will include a small brewing system to brew and serve craft beers on site, along with grab cans and growlers to go. The new location will be within the Ironwood Shopping Center.

To keep up to date with the opening of the new location, you can follow Shoe Tree on Facebook here.
