Celebrating October with Boos and Brews

September 30, 2019/in Reno-Sparks Businesses /by Shauna Morris

Reno’s wine walks are almost as legendary as the bar crawls, but for the casual beer drinker that just enjoys sampling a few of the newest brews, Reno has you covered too! With fall just kicking off and with the Halloween season upon us, it’ll be time to switch out those pale ales for stouts and porters. For some of the best breweries to visit this autumn, just keep scrolling!

Lead Dog Brewing – There’s nothing quite like an Oktoberfest brew to make it feel like the fall season is upon us. Lead Dog Brewing’s locations in Reno and Sparks will have you waxing your board in preparation for the fresh powder with just a few sips of their seasonal brews.
10 Torr – For those who love a play on words, you’ll want to check out 10 Torr’s newly-released Hazemania Devil, a Double NE IPA made with hops straight from Tazmania. There’s also a coffee stout set to be released in October, and we’re sure it’ll be just as mouth-watering as the rest of their brews.
The Depot – If you crave anything pumpkin flavored as soon as fall is even mentioned, you’ll want to get more than a few tastes of the Pumpkin Brown Ale, The Pilgrim, at The Depot. With a pale lager, a smoked pilsner, and a wild ale to round out their seasonal brews, there’s something for every beer lover here!
Great Basin Brewing Company – As Nevada’s oldest brewery, Great Basin Brewing Company knows how to make the flavors of the season pop in a variety of their beers. The Reno and Sparks locations will have Oktoberfest and Deathwish APA that will pay homage to the fall flavors, so be sure to give them a whirl.
Pigeon Head Brewery – As Reno’s first brewery to think about brewing on a larger scale, there’s always a variety of tasty beers to try, but for something that has a little more of a fall vibe, try Red Rye Lager, the India Pale Lager, or their signature Oktoberfest brew.

There are a ton of places to visit in order to get into the fall spirit. Before the streets are overrun with zombies, witches, and ghosts for a spooky Halloween celebration, be sure to sip some of the seasonal specialties at the breweries around town. If you happen to find a local hot spot you frequent and would love a home nearby, give our team a call! We’re happy to work with you to find your dream home in your dream neighborhood.

Reno’s Got Good Vibrations

September 13, 2019/in Reno Events and Activities /by Shauna Morris

There’s a rumble and then a roar, and before you know it, the streets are shaking with the sounds from several engines grumbling down the block. Everywhere you go, you’ll see, hear, and feel hundreds of motorcycles joining the cars along the streets and kicking off one of Reno’s favorite fall events — Street Vibrations!

The last motorcycle rally of 2019 is coming September 25 and the events will finish up on September 29. If you’ve been to Street Vibrations before, you know that the fall rally takes it to a new level every year. With six outdoor stages, there’s amazing live entertainment to keep you entertained and rocking out while you explore the more than 250 vendors spread throughout downtown Reno.

The event doesn’t stop there! Scavenger hunts and poker runs are also included in the lineup, as well as a spectacular fireworks display in downtown Reno. For the true bike lovers, there’s a custom bike auction, bike builder’s show and competition, and even a tattoo expo.

If you can’t make it to downtown Reno, there are even some events happening in Virginia City, Carson City, and the Harley-Davidson stores in the area! There are some great headliners coming into town just for the festivities including Grand Marshal Erik Estrada who will head up the “Police on Parade.”

No matter if you come to the event for the outdoor concerts and vendors or to participate in some of the other activities, be sure to marvel at the bikes that are incredible pieces of art. The Street Vibrations Fall Rally is just one of the events that makes us love Reno, and we hope you and your family get out to enjoy some of the festivities!

If you would like to buy a home that’s closer to the action or need help selling your home, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your friends at The David Morris Group. We’re always happy to help in any way we can.

Event Spotlight: Great Reno Balloon Races

August 23, 2019/in Reno Events /by Shauna Morris

Reno offers so many visually appealing attractions, but none are more well known and beloved than the Great Reno Balloon Races – the world’s largest free hot-air ballooning event.

The three-day event kicks off September 6th and goes through the weekend. Before the event is over, you’re sure to catch more than just a glimpse of dozens of hot air balloons taking flight and dotting the sky with a variety of colors.

When the Great Reno Balloon Races first started in 1982, there were close to 20 balloons that soared above the city, but today there up to 100 balloons flying high around town. This community tradition is truly a spectacle and residents and tourists bond over their lack of sleep and desire for some strong coffee as they sit and watch the balloons take flight during Dawn Patrol.

Friday – Sunday, gates to the Rancho San Rafael Regional Park will open at 3:30 AM for the Super Glow Show to start at 5:00 and the Dawn Patrol to begin at 5:30 AM. It’s recommended to get there early to get a good seat and be sure to bundle up! The mornings can be a little more than brisk, but it can warm up once the sun peaks out during Dawn Patrol.

If you and your family would like to see the sky covered in balloons, stick around until 7 AM, when the pilots will have a mass ascension and take off in swarms to color the sky.

Just North of Downtown Reno, more than 120,000 spectators will gather over the three-day period to watch a show that gets bigger and better year after year. The Great Reno Balloon Races have even been awarded the “Best Special Event in Reno” and “Best Special Event in Northern Nevada,” and the event continues to live up to the hype time and time again.

We hope to see you all out enjoying the hot air balloon show this year, and if you’re ever curious about any of the Reno neighborhoods, give us a call. With our help, you may be able to enjoy the show without leaving your backyard next year!
