    I was teetering on not going but I'm sure glad I did! The owners and staff are so friendly and they have created a very welcoming environment. Young, old, couples, families... all family dynamics are encouraged and welcomed! No to mention the delicious pizza, especially the pear and blue cheese We were treated to a variety of different pizzas and they just kept coming! We also got to try multiple samplers of four of Schussbooms delicious beer. I might have wandered back into the line at least a few times... There was a raffle and I lucky enough to be one of the winners, I claimed a rad trucker hat and t-shirt! The owners gave two tours of the behind the scenes brewing and my fave new guy Dayton hooked me up with a little sample of Black Mac Nuts (I hope I got that right!) stout, which was smooth and absolutely delicious. Thanks Schussboom and Michael T!

    Another terrific event with a local business. Thank you to Shussboom, Yelp and Michael for making this happen. Even with the heat and the wind, there was a good turn out. Shusshboom was nice enough to offer a sample of their pizza, wings, and four types of their beer for us to choose from. Followed by a nice piece of carrot cake. The food was very good, and the three beers that I tried were all wonderful! We were also treated with a tour of the their brewery. There was plenty of space for our large group, both inside and outside. They have misters outside for those hot days! There was also a space for corn hole, for all to enjoy! Parking was the only draw back, but not enough for us to not want to come back!

    A bit of a late review but I had to leave some love for a great event! I've been to Schussboom a couple of times but only long enough for a really quick beer and snack. I had never been outside or on the rooftop patio so it was so cool to see more of the place this time around. To start everyone at Schussboom is SO NICE! I loved learning about the brewery and after finding out that the owner Jason has an engineering background you could totally see that the brewery was created and designed by the mind of an engineer. I sampled 3 of the 4 available beers: the Eh? Canadian Lager, the Seise on Nueve (French saison) and my favorite, the Bear Bait (honey raspberry wheat ale). The food was delicious and I especially liked the crust on the pizzas that tasted like sourdough. I was too chicken to try the spicy wing challenge but the other wings definitely hit the spot. I'm looking forward to being able to stop by again and spend some time at the bar or at least try some of their cocktails and maybe bring the nieces and nephews to the family friendly area next time. Thanks to Brianna, Jason and Michael for a great event!

    First Yelp event ever and was so fun to check out a new place in Reno other than trying to find places downtown. The location is off of South Virginia so a bit of a drive from familiar local spots like The Eddy and Ten Torr. It's nice to see Reno have more local businesses that you know can be a fun time. Food, brews and entertainment for the kids. Not as big due to the location but the upstairs seating is nice if you can find a shady part. For the food, my favorite were the chicken wings as they were crispy and cooked well. The sauce they had to try were sweet Smokey bbq and a peppery hot wing sauce. I added a little Parmesan to the hot sauce which was a nice combo. Overall, great spot for kids or grabbing a few drinks after work on a weekday. Parking can be better since there's only a few spots in their parking lot and hard to avoid the no parking signs from the residence and dog park nearby.

    Pizza and wings!

    This was my 2nd time here. I came with my old co-worker to this event. Parking was hard to find since it's a small area, but my +1's significant other dropped us off. When we entered, Michael gave us some Yelp swag and wristbands. We moved to the patio area where pizza, wings, and beer were served! The line wasn't too long for food, but they were out of the flavored wings :( We were able to try all the different pizzas. I wasn't sure what the names were for the pizza, but the food was all delicious! I love their ranch and had extra sauces on the side. For their beer flight, they offered four different kinds of beer: Beer Bait, Eh? Canadian Lager, High Sierra Hazy, and Seise On Nueve. My favorite was the Beer Bait, I went back multiple times for refills. The person serving the beer was so nice! She offered water for my +1 who couldn't drink and kept us hydrated on this hot day. There were two brewery tours, we made it to the second one. Afterward, we were served carrot cake! It was homemade and tasted so good. The Hot Wing Challenge began around 7 and we stuck around to witness this. It was great, too bad I can't handle spicy. They gave out gloves to those who signed up. It was a mini challenge with two wings instead of the normal one. Thank you to Yelp and Schussboom for having us! I will definitely be back when I'm feeling some beers and pizza. So happy that it's close by too!

    Haha, check out their expressions as she must've felt the heat too!

    Such a fun time and a very informative one at that! I have to say, I believe this was one of the funnest elite events Ive attended! The Schussboom dining room is an open space area with lots of room and quite welcoming for children of all ages: Cornhole outside, kids play area and an adult play area ( bar) with a nice open air upstairs, altho hot during a summer afternoon but downstairs had nice misters going on the outdoor patio. Pizza was very good and the beer selection was good. The tour of brewery was interesting altho quite small from the one I used to be dragged thru as a kid at the Falstaff brewery in San Jose ( and had to close my eyes as girlie calendars galore were about) lol The chicken wing hoe down was a hoot!

    Great food and beer! The parking was a bit of a nightmare and we had to park across the street at Walmart, but the food and drinks made up for it! They have a wide variety of pizzas and drinks. Not a beer drinker? They have a good selection of cocktails that I heard are delish! They have an outdoor area with cornhole and even two outdoor patios- downstairs and upstairs. Don't sleep on this place! Definitely going back soon and bring my entire family!

    Definitely felt like a quest to find parking. After many laps around and driving to see if there were any parking lots near, I was reminded of living in the Bay Area and having to park and trek to a concert venue. But after finding a spot from a further distance, I can say it was definitely worth it! After seeing how busy the lines were my friend and I discovered the beautiful patio! I had no idea this was here. I had come once before during the winter (perhaps after they opened), so this gem was a great discovery. I can only imagine what the sunset must look like wow! We made our way to the pizza, which looked there was a great variety of different ones. Each one that I tried I really enjoyed. I was telling my friend about the last time I came enjoying the Salt and Vinegar Tater tots (one year later and still remembering definitely left an impression!) The tour was great, I think this was the first brewery tour for me so learning all the different components and how yeast is made daily just showed me how much of a personal investment is made into what one loves. I loved the overall vibe and the fire pit seating on the side. I think this place is great for Summer, with the variety of seating. I saw some really cool merchandise that I'm considering going back for plus sampling some ciders! After driving away I saw how enchanting all of the patio lights were. Definitely a great summer night!

    Awesome location (horrible parking) with tons of beers and food to choose from. We were impressed by the tour on their knowledge of the industry, the education we received on alcohol content, and the sugar process within a beer. We enjoyed light apps and enjoyed some really tasty beers the Saison was a favorite. My personal highlight was the high-top area, the misters, view, and open seating was so much fun. Some recommendations would be QR menus (which may have been there but I missed them), napkin holders, and a "place your own order" kiosk. Thank you so much for having us! Oh, and one more thing... To all you Yelp Elite members, when the event is light apps and not a full meal please do not load your plates so high that they are about to fold in half. Have some class, and next time let's all do a better job following the agenda.

    I love Schusshboom! The beer is fresh and so distinct the the region. I love the variety of beers. This is not just a bunch of IPA like some places. Yes they do have several ipa. But I really enjoy the Hefeweizen, fruited beers, ciders, lagers, pilsners and all other types of beer. It's a one stop shop for outstanding beers from throughout the beers. It was so great to meet the owners. Seeing the operation was impressive. Their passion was clear and their attention to detail truly shows their love for the their product. The pizza is legit. It tastes like a home made pizza crust with just the right amount of crunch. The toppings are expertly curated. Perhaps the best part of the whole place is the family friendly aspect. We now have a routine of picking up the kids at daycare and bringing the whole families to Schusshboom for the kids to play while the parents enjoy some craft pizza and beer while watching sports. I can't think of a better evening! It's great to support local businesses, it's even better when it's an outstanding business with outstanding people.

    Swag and bear bait.

    Wow wow wow wow. This event had it all!! Cornhole. Wings. Pizza. Beer. MIST MIST MIST MIST We had a lovely time joking around and hanging out with all the yelpers. Each of the four beers we got to try were delicious and unique. I was lucky to get to try two varieties of pizza and I enjoyed each of the creative offerings. Carrot cake is my favorite cake and this was a formidable offering!!! We got some sweet silicone cups (I have a tendency to hit and break cups while talking so this will be a real life saver for me!) We enjoyed talking with various staff including president Briana who taught us new things about Reno public health codes! And Katie beer poured extraordinaire! We loved the tour too! Reverse osmosis! As a science nerd I'm in awe. I'll be bringing my brewbuds back. We hope that one day doggies will be allowed to hang here too!

    Cassie N.

    As the wife of a home brewer, I loved getting the chance to see the behind the scenes at Schussboom! I was impressed with their reverse osmosis water purifying system. I had never considered the impact smoke season may have on a beer. The direct hookup to their tap was also unique. I am surprised that with a beer list so good, they're planning on staying an on-tap only microbrewer, but I guess I'm just lucky to live in driving distance to enjoy it! Schussboom was so generous with this yelp event. Pizza and beer were basically unlimited. I tried each of the beers on tap and liked them all for different reasons. The misters outside really helped with the high temps. I think this may have been the event to convince my friend Sarah to join the Elite Squad! Thank you for hosting us! (P.S. on your next order of tanks, I'd totally buy one if there was a tank with the super awesome skiing logo on the back!)

    Good looking pizza!
    Darla B.

    I love the name. German is a sweet language with things like Schadenfreude ( the joy you feel when some one else has a hard time) and Schussboom, such an aptly made word to indicate the feeling and sound when skiing down hill. The place is a large space good for teams and parties to enjoy. I like that you order in one spot and pick up in another and your name is announced on a loud speaker. You don't have to keep watching or listening as you can be anywhere in the property and hear your order is ready. The night before the event I looked up their beers and saw a good 5 or 6 I could drink. I'm a dark, non coffee flavored beer fan. So I know what I wanted to try. Looking for something more than Brewers Cabinets "Dirty Wookie" and the Fox's "Naughty Boo Boo ". Well, as might be expected for a large event like this, they had 4 beers on tap for the sampling. Ew. Not Darla favorite. I'm one who will make faces at light beer. The super nice gal serving the samples suggested I go inside and ask at the bar about the darks. On the way we chatted with Michael T and he introduced us to the guy who poured us 3 of the remaining dark beers they had on tap. Having run out of the first two I had wanted to try. The other three were fun to try but I MUST go back for the others. Everyone was so nice and in a happy mood. Despite the heat of the day, we were able to sample many styles of pizza and wings. I'm generally not a wings girl but the Teriyaki has a nice crunch under the glaze.

The music was on point and perfect for the event. I really liked the live entertainment that they had to offer as well too. Having the event be right on the river really was the icing on top of the cake because it was so beautiful there and I loved how they had the stage set up outside. I will definitely be attending this event in the future!

We were invited to the premier viewing of this immersive event and it was beyond amazing. Born way before our time, 1853, Van Gogh is famous for his artistic talent, use of color, quick broad brushstrokes, and painting real life scenes from memory. He was challenged by being mentally ill and everyone has heard the story of how he cut off his ear and sent it to a prostitute and later committing suicide by shooting himself. Van Gogh paved the way for expressionalistic art. My favorite of course is "Starry Night" and it was fun to recall my days in school, when art was still taught and not considered a "nice to have class". Great to see old elite friends and talk about.... food. And get hot tips on great digs around Reno. It's great to experience the perks of being elite and get the "royal treatment" such as our event tonight. Thank you Mike T and the presenters of this amazing exhibit!

I learned how to become an elk and I found out that females can become elks now. They were all very very nice they had a nice setup of horses and the meatballs were awesome. I did try one whiskey it was called two bitch whiskey and oh my God it was so nasty! It just burned my mouth there's like a whole bunch of flavors and then just hot. Another Yelp elite came up and asked me which was my favorite and I said none cuz I'm not a whiskey drinker and I said you've got to try this one though meaning be too bitch. She pretty much made the same expression I did LOL.

    Another fantastic yelp event for the books! This was an incredible evening spent with the very…read moregracious and welcoming staff of Grafted + a whole bunch of elites that I now call friends. The space and restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous, which is no surprise since the owner, Jade, is also a designer. I couldn't stop taking pictures of all the beautiful features, lights, decor, etc. The service was impeccable and the attention to detail was impressive. The food paired perfectly with the wine selections and I was grateful for the patience of the sommelier who provided me with an opportunity to grab a picture of each wine bottle as it was poured. The heirloom tomatoes with burrata was the best I've had in Reno (paired with a Rose). Corn soup (paired with Chardonnay), and the most delicious, perfectly prepared crispy duck confit paired with an Italian Scaia Corina. Dessert was a decadent chocolate cake with ice cream (paired with a port). This restaurant wasn't on my radar until this event and now it's one I cannot stop talking about and sharing with others. I joined the Enthusiasts Club Membership after dinner and have already had the opportunity to attend an exclusive, member-only event with the President & CEO of Uncle Nearest. Thank you Grafted, Jade, and the staff for the incredible experience. This was one of the best private Yelp dinners I have had the opportunity to enjoy. Your commitment in providing a top notch experience and welcoming us into your family through the act of grafting is heartwarming. Michael, thank you for always working so hard to bring such incredible opportunities like this to the Yelp Reno Community. I am grateful for all you do for Reno's elite community and at large.

    An evening sharing food, friends and fun. So many amazing vendors showcased their sweets, treats,…read moreand savories for a fundraiser to bring awareness. I was so very thankful to be invited as a Yelp Elite Squad guest.

    Always a fun event for a great cause and again made extra special by the amazing food & drink…read morevendors presenting their offerings. As is my norm, thanks to our regional Yelp representative Michael T for hooking the Yelp Elite Squad up to be able to attend! Just like at every Yelp event such as this where multiple vendors are in attendance, it's always great to see long standing area vendors...including one of my faves...Great Basin Brewing Co...they had a couple of their award winning beers for all to enjoy. SO many great food offerings! Amazing beef sliders from Toro Bravo paired with outstanding (and hearty) Corn Chowder from La Condesa Eatery. Chef Sergio Romero makes delicious food at both restaurants and Cesar Perez (La Condesa owner) is always one of the most gracious and friendly hosts around this area. Always delicious food from Chef Kurtis Tan of Ijji Noodle House & Poke Don...I'm a regular customer at his restaurant. His Poke Tacos were out of this world! India Curry & Kabab had their fabulous offerings, as they do every year at this event...the Chicken Tikka Masala has been one of my favorites for many years. I'm a regular at their weekday lunch buffet. Delicious pasta from Belleville Wine Bar...Nico always does a great job with everything he presents... and he's such a nice person...always smiling... Loved the Mac & Cheese from Legends Grill Sports & Spirits...thanks, Dylan. I'll be dropping by your establishment for one of your authentic NYC style Chopped Cheese sandwiches again soon. While everything was great, here's the standouts for me this year: The 40 Clove Garlic Chicken Pizza from R Town Pizza was mind blowing! Marvin is a genius and an awesome chef...and an all around amazing human being. I just recently tried his pizza for the first time...and while it's not MY preferred STYLE of pizza (c'mon, I'm from Brooklyn...you know what that means in my pizza world), his pizza (and everything he makes) is something I'm going to do a DEEP dive into. His Blondies were the perfect dessert, as well. I can't wait to try all his offerings at his establishment. The made to order Lamb Lollipops from Reno Bar & Grill were stupendous! Chef Shane blew me away! He was grilling them to order right there at his table on a little mini electric grill. I could eat those all day. This was the first time I've had his food and I plan to also make a DEEP dive into his offerings at his restaurant now that I've experienced the bliss of his flavors! As always, the silent auction had some fabulous items. I put my bids in, but didn't manage to beat anyone out...the bids got a bit over my price range, so I just donated to the cause. I enjoyed the entertainment they hired. The singer had a nice voice, although I'm not a big fan of prerecorded backing tracks at a high class event such as this...he made the best of them even though it felt like glorified karaoke (and whoever was responsible for the sound? Shame on you for making it sound distorted...both the singer's voice and his backing tracks were over-amplified). It detracted from his performance... My suggestion...again...hire a live band next time...preferably someone LOCAL. If you haven't been, please attend next year and help this cause...you'll be glad that you did.
