Viva La Beer

I could start with a cliche Vegas saying here. But I’ll refrain. And for the sake of my mother, who is one of the 13 people who reads these, I’ll spare most of the details from this trip.

Luckily, I did miss the shooting at the Bellagio by 30 minutes or so. That was more lucky than I was at the tables this trip.

Vegas has pretty much everything you could want but finding a good beer on draft in that city is damn near impossible. And no Mark, Blue Moon is not a craft beer you asshole.

I did manage to get to the Sin City Brewing bar on the strip and have some beer there. Their seasonal Double IPA was one of the most drinkable DIPAs I have ever had. Crushing a few of those by the pool could get dangerous.

Overall, Vegas needs to up their craft beer selection in the casinos on draft. Do better Sin City.

Earthly Beer

Cleveland’s ever-growing beer scene added another one at the end of April. Terrestrial Brewing Company opened up in the Battery Park area of Cleveland and this past weekend I made my first trip there. Surrounded by some of the best townhouses this city has to offer, Terrestrial is in a great location as the primary spot now for those residents looking to grab a quality beer.

The open concept of the place allows you to see all the fermenters up close. Combined with the patio this place opened up just in time for Cleveland to come out of hibernation. Plus they allow dogs and that is always a good thing!

Their beer was pretty good too as I enjoyed a couple of them and particularly liked the Pocket Flower. This is a Double IPA that packed just the right amount of flavor.  It is a well done beer. They also included many guest taps as well which I always appreciate from a brewery because it shows confidence in their own product to not get over matched by other beers and also is great for the industry as a whole. Terrestrial Brewing is another great new Brewery to the area and provides residents another area to visit and hangout in. Check it out, Terrestrial may mean “of or relating to earth”, but your visit will be out of this world.
