You've Been Thunderstruck!
Our vision is to share our brews with you in the future by opening a brewery & libation lounge somewhere in Nevada, but until then we homebrew, because that's where craft-beer starts.
We also sell You've Been Thunderstruck T-shirts, spent-grain peanut butter bacon treats for your dog and other merch. And, below are some of our flagship homebrews.
Weekend Rendezvous
Raspberry, Serrano Pepper Cream Ale
Our two-time, AWARD-WINNING, flagship homebrew, a raspberry, Serrano pepper Cream Ale is golden to pale color with low bitterness, light body and a white head. It hooks up sweet & spicy with a creamy vanilla finish leaving your taste buds desiring another sip or pint. Having it just once isn't enough — you'll be back for another rendezvous.

Gene's Honey Blonde
Blonde Ale With Notes of Honey
This blonde ale is on the lighter side with notes of honey, a deep golden color with a medium, malty body. It will make summer nights hanging out by fire-pit gazing at the stars and looking for the space station buzz on by with a bit of nostalgia. Here is a little insider-secret, "Gene's honey" is really not blonde.

Nik Roo
English IPA
Named after our two BFF peeps (Nicole and Ruben) this English Double IPA greets you with a traditional yet light malty flavor and lovely hop-forward aroma that won't give you bitter beer face but still take you to your hoppy place. We use 5 different hops including Cascade, Magnum, Simcoe, and Columbus, plus a secret bonus hop for our peeps.

North South 95
Imperial Stout With Dark Moon Coffee
Our flagship Imperial Stout with notes of a rich coffee aroma is a homebrew for those who tolerated hours of "are we there yets" and long stretches of mesmerizing high desert views along Highway 95 North/South. Opaque in appearance, we used roasted malts to enhance a non-astringent, creamy mouth feel accentuated with vanilla and lactose.
