“The Downtown Brew Festival has become one of Nevada’s most anticipated fall craft beer events, so we knew we had to bring new ideas to the table to turn the event into one that is incomparable to years before. The craft beer industry is growing and we are grateful for the opportunity to share the unique brews with our record breaking number of attendees this year. Not only did the night offer great beer, but we were able to introduce guests to new beer-inspired flavors from some of Las Vegas’ most renowned chefs.”
