April - No Fools

April is upon us and time to start rolling out event ideas for the month, starting with tonight.  We will be heading to the Hofbrauhaus tonight for Beer & Blog, for the first time and hopefully not the last. 

Let me stress that this is not a joke, but it is a rumor.  We have heard from reliable sources that Hofbrauhaus will be closing as soon as next week.  Again this is a rumor, not confirmed, but it is also not an April Fools joke and does come from a good source.  Take that how you will, but we felt a last minute change of venue was in order for this evening, hope lots of you can attend.

In the upcoming weeks, we have a potential Tapping Party at Gordon Biersch in Boca Park, at least one trip to the Freakin Frog, a possible new venue (working on details), as well as some interesting field trips.  I will have all the relevant details up just as soon as possible, tomorrow even I hope.

UPDATE:  As you can see in the comments section and now in the update, we have a confirmation that Hofbrauhaus is not going anywhere!   Yah!  Still glad we finally pulled a gathering there together, and based on the feedback on Twitter of folks unable to attend tonight, we will need to visit them again in the near future.

Wk11 - Gordon Biersch

After the crazy party at the Beer Festival, a Wed night St Patricks Day and the upcoming Twestival... we felt it was best to give our livers a day off.  So we took Week 11 off, but then had an impromptu gathering on Tuesday night at Gordon Biersch. 

I cannot say it enough, Gordon Biersch is hands down the best happy hour in town and a great space.  The doors are starting to get rolled up and the beer garden is open as the weather is heating up in Vegas.

This week became the chance for us to finally start rolling out to other locations, and we were at Gordon Biersch.  Before you say, again, it was a different location, out in Summerlin at Boca Park.  They were rolling out their new seasonal HellesBock beer with a tapping party.

The tapping party at this location was a bit different from the ones held at the Paradise location, so although we did not really get to be part of the party, we had a good time.  The staff there was very accommodating to us and extended the bar only happy hour to us in the dining room.

A much quieter location we had the opportunity to have some interesting discussions with out the normal noise of some of the bars & restaraunts we frequent.

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.
