Before our dinner reservation we stopped by Quick Stop and the nachos were so good. The drinks were great too, and if I get the chance I’d love to come back!

We really wanted to come here after seeing a TV excerpt on them. We were not disappointed. We choose the beer flights and it was so much fun trying the different types of beer. They were all delicious. We only had appetizers but they were so flavorful and filling. The absolute best things about FiftyFifty Brewing Co are the staff and the atmosphere. Very comfortable and relaxing environment and the most friendly staff we have come across in a long time. We will be returning again very soon, next time for a full meal and more beer flights.

We got the bbq wings for starters they make everything in house. The wings were Awesome. The cilantro jalapeño coleslaw was incredible. Just the right amount of bite. Elk burgers hit the spot Justin was our server. He was extremely helpful and told us how everything was made in house and how they do it. Thanks, Justin. We will definitely be back next time. We are in Truckee.

Sat on the patio and had the West coast hazy, wife had the Amber ale, both were excellent. But the food and service were even better. Their fish and chips is top notch, and the fried chicken sando, Truckee style, was very good. Was a 60 degree Sunday afternoon and there were 3 other tables of people on the patio so it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful.

Modern Mountain Gem – 50~50 Brewing Company, Truckee Just had an incredible visit to 50-50 Brewing Company in the heart of Truckee, and it checked all the boxes. This place is a modern mountain-town gem—blending rustic charm with a fresh, clean aesthetic. The ambience strikes that perfect balance: not too loud, not too quiet—just the right hum of laughter, clinking glasses, and kitchen energy. You’re surrounded by working brewery tanks right behind the bar, which adds a fun industrial vibe to the cozy mountain setting. The beer list is as solid as it gets. As Truckee’s OG brewery (est. 2007), they’ve made a name for themselves with award-winning brews like the Eclipse barrel-aged stouts, and a rotating tap of IPAs, pilsners, and more. Now for the food… I went with the Truckee Burger, medium rare—cooked to perfection. Topped with fresh pickles, lettuce, tomato, and melty pepper jack cheese, plus a little extra mayo on the side that arrived promptly. Jess ordered the Donner Party Burger, a barbecue-style beast, and said the sauce was absolutely on point. Major shoutout to our server, Betty—she was running what looked like way more tables than most could handle, but she slayed it. Friendly, efficient, and cool under pressure. This isn’t your sleepy mountain brewpub—it’s a lively, well-run spot where locals and travelers alike come together for great food, beer, and service. We’ll 100% be back next time we’re in Truckee. #5050BrewingCo #TruckeeEats #ModernMountainGem #CraftBeerLovers #MountainBreweryVibes #TruckeeFoodie #BurgerGoals #SierraNevadaEats #TruckeeLife #SupportLocalBreweries #BeerAndBurgers #RenoTahoeEats #NorCalBeerScene #BettySlayedIt So just adding the pizza and making a short review would probably not do it justice because it was absolutely delicious but that’s what we gotta do. Try the pizza. Definitely try the pizza.

I really liked the Donner Party Porter and I LOVED the Totality imperial stout. The food was also pretty great, the Philly I had was as good as the ones I tried in Philadelphia. the wife had the pulled pork and some sort of gin cocktail that was pretty tasty. if I could afford it I'd come here a lot more. The kiddos enjoyed the pizza and chicken

Craft local beer brewery that also serves up delicious burgers, cheese curds, salads, pizzas, and tacos. In addition to the wide beer selection, they also serve cocktails and wine. Large spacious interior, as well as a large outdoor patio area. Fast and efficient service. Large free parking lot shared with other local businesses.
