Wk 3 - Gordon Biersch

It's raining in Vegas, and it doesn't want to stop.  Weather has descended upon Vegas this week and some exchanging of tweets and a bad forecast for Thursday led to an impromptu Beer & Blog on Wednesday night. 

In all likely hood Beer & Blog would have landed at Gordon Biersh this week, it has become our go to spot for smaller scale events.  They have a great happy hour menu and it's close by for a lot of folks.  It was a small crowd because of the weather and short notice.

Descisions for next week are pending finalization, but small crowds are expected due to the Cirque Blogger event on Monday night of next week.

Wk 2 - Freakin Frog

As expected, we had a great turn out for the official anniversary of Beer & Blog Vegas, probably over 2 dozen people attended.  The previously busy Freakin Frog across from UNLV, was also on the quiet side that evening, allowing us to take over.

It was great to see some people who had not been with for a while, and it was the biggest group we had since the end of summer.  No decisions were made for the next gathering, plans to be organzied are underway and hopefully starting in February the location will be known in advance, going forward.

Wk 1 - McMullans Irish Pub

The week 1 version of Beer & Blog was a nice turn out, even with CES in town.  We had about a dozen people and the normally bosterious McMullans was rather on the quiet side that evening.  Mainly we did a lot of catching up from the holidays and had a few drinks.

Freakin Frog was suggested at the following weeks location because it would be the One Year Anniversary of the Las Vegas edition of Beer & Blog.

First BNBLV of the Year

Tonight will be the year's first Beer N Blog and I expect it to be a fairly good turn out.  We will be meeting at McMullans Irish Pub, across from the Orleans Casino.  It is far enough off the strip that it should not be effected by CES foot traffic.  But accessible to most of our members, looking forward to getting the year kicked off on a high note!

Beer N Blog Vegas Year Two

We are quickly approaching the one year anniversary of the Las Vegas chapter of Beer & Blog! It has been a long year, we have had our ups and downs, but we are truly excited to see how we can grow both in numbers and learning this year.

Although we have many other resources, the official site is a bit of a pain to navigate, so I am setting up an alternative blog here, for ease of use. Which in turn will hopefully increase the number of blog posts as well.

Here is to the New Year, another great year for Beer & Blog in Vegas, hope see you all soon.

Cheers!
