So this may be a terrible question that opens me up to ridicule but are there any good breweries in Las Vegas to check out? I'll be there Monday evening flying solo so other than going to a casino, I can't think of much else to do. All the shows are dark. 

I was in Vegas two weeks ago. Started at a cool bar called Aces and Ales. They had a great selection. I asked the bartender about any cool breweries in the area and they pointed me to Big Dog Brewing. Their beers were good and the food was great.

So I went to main street station, w hi ich is a hotel casino and brewery.  I don't remember if it was good or not because I was already drunk.  But it was good enough to drink, plus it was like $2 a pint.

Twitter is pretty stupid in general, and they both come off looking like asses.  

 

Anyway, Fireman's 4 is fine, at places like Pluckers that generally have very little craft beer, I'm happy to drink it.  If there is a wide variety, I'll typically order something else.

Fireman’s 4 is a really well made blonde ale. If you don’t like it or find it boring, you probably just don’t like blonde ales.
 

There are plenty of Belgian blonde ales that I love.  I do find Fireman's 4 somewhat boring compared to those beers, and it's not because I don't like blonde ales.

But I do agree with your sentiment that it's a well made beer and there's nothing "wrong" with it.  Like I said, I often drink it at places where it's one of few craft beers, and I'm happy to do so.

I remember when it was a really big deal and appreciated to find Fireman’s 4 (as the only craft beer alternative) at the State Fair food pavilion during Texas-OU years ago. Having said that, I haven’t drunk one in many many years.

Have any of you mooks had anything from Tupps? Seeing their stuff around Austin.


Yes, I’ve enjoyed what I have had from them although they had a 100% centennial hop ipa that was awesome (similar to 2 hearted). It appears to be gone and replaced with new ipa I have not tried.

Joseph james is the only one that is passable

I tried some different breweries that were local. Has the Joseph James Citra Rye Pale Ale which was pretty good. Went to Banger Brewing off Fremont. The beers were decent. The Morning Joe Kolsch was really good.
