It's the world's largest craft brewery, and an award-winning one at that. It was probably just a matter of time before it would find its way to Las Vegas. BrewDog is an international company, and it is setting up its largest camp on the Las Vegas Strip this year. They're slated for a fall opening and we are excited!
BrewDog Las Vegas will be located opposite the Park MGM on the Strip, Forbes reported. And they're calling it "a craft beer paradise for locals and tourists alike". With 30,000 square feet of brewed beers, 96 of them on tap at any given time. Plus pub-style menu that's unique in the way only Vegas can do, including steaks, lobster, and wagyu beer burgers.
BrewDog Las Vegas will be brewing the favorites that their loyal followers have come to love. But it will also make unique blends exclusive to Las Vegas. And for an even more local experience, BrewDog Las Vegas plans to partner with local guest breweries, including Able Baker and Lovelady Brewing. They also might bring an exclusive blend of their famous Elvis Juice, just for Vegas.
This will be the first ever carbon negative bar in Las Vegas. And because it's BrewDog, this is going to be more than just an awesome brewery. There's also going to be a beer school on site for people who want an in-depth look at the beer-making process. There will also be shuffleboard and retro games for entertainment, in addition to TVs to watch those big games.
The view from BrewDog Las Vegas will be yet another reason to visit. On a 4th-floor rooftop, it will provide a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city. The architecture is going to be second to none. The BrewDog website says the Vegas location will be "one of our most stunning locations that we've ever created, and we can't wait to be opening to the public."
We hear you, BrewDog. We can't wait to see you too!

Beer You Can Only Find In Vegas
It's National Beer Day! Today we celebrate one of the oldest libations in the world. The gift that came from some lazy person leaving his barley out in a bucket too long after a rainy night and a week later exclaiming "this is delicious!"
Okay, that's probably not exactly how it happened. But beer has been around a long time. Some say as long as 13,000 years. And this wise old concoction deserves our respect.
Some historians say beer helped build civilizations because builders were paid for their work in beer. If we could only pay our mortgages with it.
Beer brings people together, helps us unwind at the end of a long day, and...if you went to a party school like I did...made for many an interesting night in college. So let's raise a glass of brew in celebration of this historic day.
And what better city to celebrate....pretty much anything...than our fabulous Las Vegas? Did you know, we have a ton of locally-owned and operated breweries here? Let's keep the love here at home by celebrating National Beer Day, Las Vegas style. Here are a few places to consider.
SCENIC BREWING COMPANY
Located on the corner of Desert Inn and Durango is SBC restaurant and sports bar. This is a fabulous place to watch those VGK games. They're big supporters of our local teams. Their menu is AMAZING and they have a brewery on-site. Check them out at scenicbrewingcompany.com.
CHICAGO BREWING COMPANY
An award-winning microbrewery right under our nose! These guys brew their beer on-site, and their blends have won awards at both the Great American Beer Festival and The World Beer Cup. CBC is open 24/7 and located in Village Square near the corner of Ft. Apache and Sahara. They have an extensive food list with everything from 24-hour breakfast to, of course, Chicago-Style pizza. Check them out at chicagobrewinglv.com.
HOP NUTS BREWING
First things first. These guys get bonus points for their fun name. But that's not where their greatness ends. They were the first microbrewery in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District. Their atmosphere is very chill, their bar is very cool, and their selection of beers is very unique. They also have a patio that makes for amazing seating when the weather is good. They have two taprooms, the one in the Arts District, and another in Tivoli Village and they welcome vistors to both. I love that they list what they're pouring right on their website. See if one peaks your interest: hopnutsbrewing.com.
BIG DOG'S BREWING COMPANY
Another award-winning brewery, these Las Vegas-born craft brewers are passionate about beer. Just northwest of Downtown Las Vegas, Big Dog's offers the perfect balance of your favorite core brews and surprising new concoctions on the regular. They also have lots of events, including live music and karaoke. And when you drink at Big Dog's, you're supporting a local company that supports our local charities.

CRAFTHAUS BREWERY
These guys dub themselves "community-minded craft beer". Meaning they are passionate about building our local beer community, and they do so with educational events and showings. They have two locations: Henderson and Downtown Las Vegas. Both of their taprooms are open to the public. Check out their live music or their "Trivia and Tacos On Tap" nights.
