Brewery Profile

10 Torr Distilling and Brewing

On Mill Street in Reno, visitors find a taproom tied to a production house that makes both beer and spirits. 10 Torr Distilling and Brewing stands out in the city’s beer scene because its identity is built around process as much as finished drinks. Founded by a collective of engineers and scientists, the operation uses vacuum distillation, reducing atmospheric pressure to about 10 Torr so distillation can occur at lower temperatures. The stated purpose is to preserve subtle flavors that can be lost through conventional methods. For a visitor walking in, the main draw is a chance to taste output from a facility where brewing and distilling share ingredients, techniques, and a technical point of view.

Travelers passing through Reno and Northern Nevada often look for local taprooms that offer something tied to place but not limited to a single format. A stop here fits that pattern because beer drinkers can approach it as a brewery visit, while others may be interested in the distilling side. The overlap between the two is part of the experience: ingredients such as 2-row barley are used in the facility’s products, and the production model connects grain, fermentation, and distillation under one roof. Rather than relying on a fixed expectation of styles, visitors should treat the stop as a way to see what the team is currently pouring and how the beer and spirits programs relate to each other.

The taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, since specific beer names, spirits, serving formats, food options, events, and other amenities are not established here. Visitors should use the Mill Street location as the practical anchor and check directly with the business for current hours and availability before making a special trip. In 2025, 10 Torr was recognized as Best Distillery in Northern Nevada by Readers’ Picks, which reflects public attention to the distilling side as well as its brewery identity. For those planning a Reno beer itinerary, it is best understood as a technical, dual-purpose stop rather than a conventional beer-only taproom.
