New(er) Breweries In Vegas?

Hey man,
Mojave is open as well as Beer District. I haven't heard of Camo Brewing so not sure what that is all about. Nevada Brew Works isn't open but will be by Dec. I believe the brewery you are asking about in the strip was Holy Cow, which became Big Dogs unless you meant Sin City Brewing which until recently was strip located but has closed down. If you want to hit a draft room Beer Zombies isnt far from the strip we are releasing a beer a month can wise and have the best draft list in vegas in my opinion of course!

 

What happened to Sin City? I'm guessing their 3-4 taprooms are still on the Strip...right? While nothing earth shattering, I still like their stuff.

 

If you’re going back that far, was it the brewery that used to be in Monte Carlo?

 

Pretty sure you are talking about The Pub at Monte Carlo.

 

No they all closed down, the beer was being brewed at LoveLady so they didnt have a physical brewery in town

 

Was that place even a brewery? I walked by it a few times back in the days (don’t think I ever went in). From what I can recall, they had fake grain silos and stuff. Doesn’t seem like it would be economical to brew beer inside a casino.

 

Mojave is pretty solid. Was there last weekend actually. They are only Las Vegas brewery to my knowledge who does cider as well (believe only one with the license to). Good range of styles. Nothing otherworldly but well made beers.

 

Love Ellis Island's Egg Nog! They opened their "Front Yard" which is really nice last December.

Among the new breweries, I really like Beer District Brewing in the Arts District. They opened in February, just before the Rona closures, and I was very glad to have stopped in twice before flying back home for the lock down. They brew across several styles and their pours were either good, very good or excellent. They also had a great guest draft list, though that may be spotty at this point with a lot of breweries packaging and distribution of draft has been cut back due to the Rona.

The other two in the Arts District that you haven't listed which I would consider are Mad Fermentist (1115 S Casino Drive, which unfortunately was closed by the time I got there, and the second CraftHaus location if you are not able to hit the Henderson Car District.

I would also hit the Car District in Henderson for Astronomy AleWorks, which brews good IPAs (Pluto is a Planet), Stouts (Moons of Uranus Porter Vanilla, Coconut and Mothership Coffee, Yuri Gararn Russian Imperial Stout) and a good Kolsch (Speed of Light and a Lemon/Lime Speed of Sprite). CraftHaus brews many styles and most of their pours are very good as well.

Those are the new breweries I would focus on. Hope I can make it out for my annual December trip as well, don't want to miss the Egg Nog!

They closed all four locations. Joseph James also closed this Spring, they sold cans but did not have a brewpub.

 

They did brew there for years, and it was very decent for a casino. Then it became a “pub” with only guest taps

 

Damn. Joseph James and Sin City both gone. That's pretty crazy. Especially Sin City. I remember drinking Sin City Amber at the LV Gameworks back in the 90's. Not that I loved either, but I thought they were both pretty good...and convenient if you're confined to the Strip area.

I was just there in December and I would have never guessed...although I guess 2020 isn't like normal years, either.

 

Make sure you swing by a Beer Zombies draft room. our brewery wont be done by December if you make it out but we have 2 with a 3rd draft room opening. Im currently putting out 60bbls a month of beer and aim to have more soon!

 

Very nice. Where are you building the brewery, and will it be open to the public with a taproom or brewpub?

Hope everything goes to plan with all the craziness. Looking forward to hitting the Summerlin location as well.

My quoted post was strictly addressing breweries @Schmittymack hasn't hit yet. I always try to hit your stores and Khoureys each trip.

 

It will be near the Raiders Stadium, open to public with full tap room and kitchen. Cheers!

 

Thanks Beer Zombies for the updates and elevating the Vegas craft beer game. Are you Brewing these latest beers at your own facility (Axe Brews Vengeance) ? Or still using Mason Aleworks or somewhere else to brew?

Appreciate you on many levels bringing great beers to Nevada from far away places and now doing your own.

 

Next Beer Zombies Brewing beer will be getting brewed this thursday its a Oat Cream Hazy Triple IPA. I drive down to Socal weds to brew a collab with Beer Thug Life in LA then head south to San Marcos to brew the BZ beer. We are still brewing out of Mason Ale Works this next beer is a 90bbl batch, not really any place in Vegas thats set up to allow someone else to come in and brew that size of a batch.

 

I was told that Mojave Brewery is the only brewery in Nevada that serves cask beer? I find this hard to believe. I'm sure with all the new breweries in Nevada that there are several breweries that serves cask beer.
