Pizza Port Brewing Co. and Schussboom Brewing Co. from Reno, NV, are teaming up to release a collaboration beer on Thursday, December 12, at 5:00 PM at Schussboom Brewing Co., located at 12245 S. Virginia St., Reno, NV 89511.
This partnership is particularly exciting given the background of Jason Wagner, Brewmaster and VP of Schussboom Brewing Co. Wagner began his brewing journey as a homebrewer and beer enthusiast in San Diego County, where he lived from 2003 to 2014. An engineer by trade, Jason and his wife, Briana Wagner, an event coordinator, immersed themselves in the vibrant San Diego beer scene, with Pizza Port Brewing serving as a significant influence.
In June 2021, the Wagners established Schussboom Brewing Co. in Reno, NV. The brewery, known for its award-winning small-batch craft beers and its accompanying pub, was inspired by the Pizza Port model. The collaboration between the two breweries came to life through a shared customer connection, fostering bi-state creativity.
Attendees will have the chance to try Backside Rodeo, a Double West Coast IPA with 8.3% ABV, brewed at Pizza Port’s San Marcos location by Head Brewer Josh Schaner and Jason Wagner. Guests can also enjoy a selection of Pizza Port beers on tap and meet members of the Pizza Port brewing team.
