Wk9 - ESPN Zone

As a follow up to Week 9, we have the after thought on the experiment and the evening.  One word, LEGEN - wait for it - DARY... really it was an awesome #BNBLV. 

We all trickled into the over priced under staffed Pour 24 for a few pricey pours of good beer.  It is a casino and that is what you really need to do is keep telling yourself that when you visit one.  At any rate, I am happy to drink draft Ruination IPA and Anchor Steam whenever possible.

After a while we decided to go in search of food and since Nine Fine Irishmen was closed for a private party we ended up at the ESPN Zone.  It was late and we had a sizable crowd, but they did a good job handling our group.  Even granting us separate tabs after a bit of haggling with our good natured waiter.

We had a rocking time just laughing and goofing off, a lot of the goofing at the expense of our current Gowalla addiction.  None the less, good experiment.

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!
