not unless there is a major plate shift and Belgium becomes part of Northern Nevada....

we have three local breweries and one chain in Reno....

The Great Basin has been a staple of mine since i was 21....great beer with very inventive brewers, great food...simple brew pub food with often a little twist.....wonderful atmosphere with approachable staff and customers....i still go there at least once a week and now that they bottle....i primarily turn to their balanced IPA when just grabbing a six pack

The Silver Peak...has alright beer, overpriced shitty food...a sterile environment and is usually packed with yuppie pieces of shit....who think they fucking know everything....simply not my type of place

Brasserie Saint James....i've only been there once and while the beer was very good....with a concentration on Belgium style ales....the staff was a bit to...."hipstery" for me and rather distant....the atmosphere was very relaxing but the menu was a) very expensive and b) very upper class....i will say though they do have several great options for those who choose not to eat meat....i'll certainly go back....the staff weren't *******s....just put me off a little....the beer was great

BJ's is a chain brewery....that i think is all over the states....defiantly in all of California and Nevada.....the beer isn't bad at all for a chain with good rotating special brews....the food is good but a little expensive....and the atmosphere is much like an upper class sports bar....worth it for lunch and a couple of decent beers
