Scenic Brewing: Carla Rea’s Favorite Las Vegas Brewery

I'm a wine drinker. I love good wines, and there are particular tastes and finishes I want when it comes to wine. I've been called picky, and a "wine snob" more than once!
Never was much for beer - until the last few years. A couple people in my life enjoy beer the way I enjoy wine, but I've found there a a lot of craft beers I really enjoy. I'm more of a flavored beer girl, and I've shared some in this post, from one of my favorite breweries in Las Vegas - Scenic Brewing!
Fist off though, some facts about Beer Day:
1. The date wasn't chosen at random. 89 years ago - April 7th, 1933 - a new law took effect that allowed people to brew and distribute beer again. It was the first major step toward ending Prohibition.
2. Beer is the #1 drink we order at bars, and it's not even close. 47% of people say it's their go-to drink. Margaritas are next at 22%, then wine, cosmos, and gin-and-tonics.
3. Budweiser is the brand with the best name recognition. But the most POPULAR beer right now is Sam Adams. 49% of Americans have a positive opinion about the brand. Corona is next at 46%, and it's the most popular beer among women.
4. A not-so-fun fact: The production, distribution, and sale of beer is heavily taxed. If it wasn't, beer would be about 40% cheaper.
5. The "fear of an empty beer glass" has its own word: Cenosillicaphobia (sen-oh-sill-ick-uh-fobia). And that's just sad...
Check out the below beers. I guarantee there is one you will love. If not - then go to the last one, first!

Scenic Brewing's Blackberry Wheat
Blackberry Wheat: Literally pounds of blackberry added per barrel near the end of fermentation. A fun color, medium body, with a pleasant fruity taste, and plenty of blackberry notes. A great summer beer!
Scenic Date Nectar
[Carla Rea] / Via BBGIScenic Date Nectar: A strong (10.6% abv.) Belgian dark brewed with date nectar - and it's fabulous! It's boozy, but the date nectar makes you believe it's not. There are also notes of figs, raisins, and bananas. So - a breakfast beer!
Scenic Flying Cardinal Nitro
Scenic Flying Cardinal Nitro -my favorite! Light chocolate, toffee and caramel flavors. This nitro goes down with a creamy mouth feel and just enough fizz for a smooth drinkablity!
Scenic Hopsfen Haze 3rd Anniversary beer
Scenic Hopsfen Haze 3rd Anniversary beer: HAPPY 3rd ANNIVERSARY SCENIC BREWING. A smooth chocolate and coconut - I told Jackie (bartender) it was like an Almond Joy. This is a really fun beer to celebrate any anniversary!
