GREAT VEGAS FESTIVAL OF BEER RETURNS TO DOWNTOWN

Taking up three blocks of downtown Las Vegas April 7 and 8, the Great Vegas Festival of Beer has something to offer even the most discerning beer palate. This is Nevada’s largest beer festival and there will be something for everyone. Here are three things you can expect at the festival.

The Saturday Grand Tasting will feature more than 100 top craft breweries from around the world. Visitors can sample more than 500 brews and fill their hungry bellies with dishes from the Gastro pub. Grand Tasting tickets range from $40 to $95.

For the beer aficionado, on Friday, Mad Craft brings some of the biggest names in local and regional gastronomy to the stage with beer-infused bites. Special guests and local breweries will offer vintage pours, special reserves and one-off creations made especially for the event. Tickets are limited.

If you’ve had your fill of drinking and eating, the Grand Tasting ticket gets you access to Brew Logic educational sessions, a Silent Disco and more. Brew Logic invites master brewers and industry pros to share their knowledge with anyone who wants to know more about their favorite beverage.
