  • A United Front

    Craft brewers in Nevada have long been held back by an industry criticized for favoring distributers and big-name brands, according to many brewery owners in the state. Strict laws limit distribution activity, production, and more for those trying to make a buck on hop-based beverages. In an effort to quell some of the seemingly unfair rules that affect them, craft brewers have joined together, forming associations that represent their wants and needs with a united voice.

  • Cut and a Cocktail

    A large brick building with an almost-secret entrance, an old-school barbershop doubling as a boysโ€™ club, barbers dressed to the nines in button-ups and vests โ€” everything about Derby Supply Co., the barbershop with a full bar opened by Reno native Vinnie Gravallese, screams Old-World charm. Modeled after businesses in Boston and New York that operate half underground out of historic buildings, the shop pays homage to Gravalleseโ€™s East Coast roots, without skipping the modern amenities or haircuts.
