Todd Ashman Back in the Kettle

Award winning brewer returns to brewing at new Tahoe-area brewpub

The new Truckee Craft Brewing Co., located at 6000 feet in Truckee, California near Lake Tahoe, should be up and running by late this year or early next. What most of you will consider news is not that another brewpub is opening, or that brewing is returning to Truckee (which has a long brewing history).

The news is Todd Ashman is returning to brewing.

Take a minute to think about that, and perhaps say a blessing to the beer gods.

Most remember Ashman for his innovative (and award-winning) beers at Illinois brewpub Flossmoor Station. He also brewed at Titletown Brewing in Green Bay before going to work for Rahr Malting/Brewers Supply Group, which sells ingredients to craft breweries.

Ashman officially starts in Truckee at the beginning of December. He says that capacity constraints will limit him to keeping five or six beers on tap, “maybe more once we get things in rotation.”

A modern-day brewpub operated in Truckee in the 1990s, but the more interesting history goes back to the 19th century. According to Truckee historian Gordon Richards the Boca Brewery – built in 1875 – sold its beer around the world and was a popular drink at the 1883 World’s Fair in Paris, France.

The brewery was ideally located with easy access to spring water and ice, but the mostly German brewers often found themselves feuding with French Canadian loggers across the Truckee River. The Boca Brewery burned in January of 1893
