After doing some extensive research (google), we discovered there are more breweries in the Las Vegas area then we thought. Maybe with all the other things people usually go to that town for the brewing culture gets lost. To help change that in some small way we have chosen the Hop Ride IPA…
Shipyard Brewing and their stable of beers are becoming a little easier to find as of late here in the southwest. They first won over our palates with the Pumpkinhead seasonal several years back.
