Alibi Ale Works - Truckee Public House, Truckee

Whether the brewmasters at Alibi Ale Works are hard at work on a super-hoppy IPA or a traditional European-style beer, the common thread connecting all their creations is pure Lake Tahoe water. This local touch lends character to all the options in the tap room, where guests can sample seasonal ales in the company of friends both human and canine. While the tap selections are always changing, you can find out about a few of Alibi's perennial mainstays below:

• Porter: this dark, 6% ABV English-style porter is rich without being too heavy, and includes notes of chocolate and coffee
• Saison: a lemony, earthy 5% ABV brew made with four types of hops
• Pale Ale: Azacca and Eldorado hops combine with a lightly toasty malt for this aromatic 5.5% ABV pale ale
