American Home Brewers Association Conference Pro-Brewers Night Micro Brew Festival
The event took place in the Grand C ballroom at the Riviera Hotel and Casino. The event featured draft beer selections from
Mudshark Brewing Co. - AZ
Tenaya Creek Brewing Co. - Las Vegas
777 Brewpub - Las Vegas
Chicago Brewing Co. - Las Vegas
Big Dog's Brewing Co. - Las Vegas
Monte Carlo Pub & Brewery - Las Vegas
Alaskan Brewing Co. - AK
Rogue Ales - OR
Barley's Brewery - Las Vegas
Sierra Nevada - CA
BJ's Brewhouse - Az
Russian River - CA
Left Coast Brewing Co. - CA
Pizza Port - CA
Alesmith - CA
Ballast Point Brewing Co. - CA
Alpine Brewing Co. - CA
Craftsman Brewing Co. - CA
Stone - CA
That's about as best a list as I could put together, as there was a lot of really great breweries present. Most were pouring two or three beers, but some featured as many as six throughout the evening. True standouts included a dry hopped St. Rogue Red, Pliney the Elder from Russian River, and Ballast Point's Big Eye IPA. I know it sounds a bit hoppy but I indulged myself heartily
I was also lucky enough to spend time with head brewers from Rogue, Alaskan, Russian River, and Mudshark. There were also other beer celebs like Fred Eckhart and Tom Daldorff. It was a great night and well worth the wallet draining cost. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
