What Makes a Great Brewery in South Lake Tahoe?

South Lake Tahoe is known for incredible outdoor adventures, beautiful lake views, and a growing craft beer scene. But what makes a brewery worth visiting?

At Cold Water Brewery & Grill, we believe it starts with brewing great beer right here in South Lake Tahoe.

Beer Brewed Onsite

Every pint of our house beer begins just steps from your table. Our brewing team is passionate about creating approachable, award-winning beers that pair perfectly with great food and good company.

From crisp lagers and hop-forward IPAs to seasonal releases and experimental small-batch brews from our new nano brewing system, there's always something new to discover.

More Than Just Great Beer

While beer is at the heart of what we do, we've built Cold Water Brewery to be a place where everyone can find something they love.

Our full bar features handcrafted cocktails made with fresh juices and house-made syrups, while our kitchen serves California-inspired comfort food including burgers, tacos, salads, sandwiches, and shareable appetizers.

Whether you're visiting with friends, family, or coworkers, everyone can enjoy a meal together.

A Brewery Designed for Tahoe

After a day on the lake, hiking local trails, skiing Heavenly, or exploring South Lake Tahoe, there's nothing better than relaxing with a locally brewed beer.

Our spacious dining room, lively bar, and dog-friendly patio make Cold Water a favorite gathering place for both visitors and locals throughout the year.

Award-Winning Craft Beer

Our brewers are constantly creating new recipes while continuing to brew guest favorites. Along with our flagship beers, you'll regularly find seasonal releases and limited small-batch beers brewed on our new nano brewing system.

Every visit offers the opportunity to discover something new.
