Great Basin Brewing, Nevada's most award-winning craft brewery, prides itself on "endlessly exploring new and uncharted beer styles" and at the Strange Brew Festival in Reno, Nevada, it served up a Steak & Onion Kolsch. The rise of craft beer culture has created ample room for breweries to experiment to please the palates of those with adventurous tastes and a new wave of craft beer products are testing the limits with sweet, spicy and savory ingredient combinations.
