Truckee’s newest brewery, The Good Wolf Brewing Company will officially open its doors on February 1, 2020, after a successful soft launch late last year.
The Good Wolf will offer a selection of hop forward, forest inspired craft beers that will flow smoothly after a long day on the slopes, or just for a quick one after work. The brewery soft-opened in late-November with one beer on tap, a juicy IPA called Neon Rainbow, and has since released four new beers with plenty more on the way.
The 50-seat tasting room, lined with moss and a verdant jungle of plants, isn’t your typical industrial brewery tasting room. Owners Matt and Heidi Petyo, who designed the space themselves, aimed to exude a lush, rustic vibe with a warm feel, while using colors and textures inspired by the area’s natural setting. The tasting room, which feels like the secret locals spot you’ve always dreamed of finding, also comes stocked with classic board games for those looking for some old-school entertainment.
Focusing on bringing people together is one of Matt and Heidi’s favorite parts about their new business. Since their soft opening, they have already organized fundraisers, live music, trivia nights, and movie marathons.
“The community we’ve found in Truckee has been incredible in the short time we’ve been here,” said Heidi. “We’re really looking forward to contributing to our new community and having a family-friendly space that brings people together. Whether meeting old buddies or trying to make new friends, we’re super proud of the space and hope our entire community feels at home here.”
Matt and Heidi are both Northern California natives, and following the Camp Fire in late 2018, decided to return back to the state to be closer to home. They came across the space, formerly a pre-existing brewery, and have been working tirelessly since August to prepare the space and brewing materials to open.
Matt, who is also lead brewer, has spent time working for renowned breweries like Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Seattle’s Elysian Brewing Company, Oskar Blues Brewery, and Wildcard Brewing Company. A hops aficionado who regularly forages for fresh ingredients, Matt says he enjoys “exploring and experimenting with unique hop varietals and creative beers that push the boundaries of the brewing tradition,” a passion that comes through in The Good Wolf’s beers.
The Good Wolf Brewing Company will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, February 1, 2020 at 4PM. There will be eight beers on tap, with brews like a single origin Australian grown hop IPA, a tart cherry sour pie sour, and a heritage corn lager rotating on a regular basis. There will also be live music and fresh food from local vendors.
The taproom is located at 10990 Industrial Way, Suite B103, Truckee. For more information, visit TheGoodWolfBrewing.com.
