Schussboom Brewing Company, a craft brewery and pizzeria in South Reno, quickly became a staple in the region’s beer and dining scene after its launch in June 2021. The brewery, located at 12245 S. Virginia St., is the vision of husband-and-wife team Jason and Briana Wagner.

He has developed a reputation for quality and innovation. The brewery also features collaborations with other renowned breweries.
