10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Mount Charleston

"Appropriately named, Beer District Brewing is located at the top of the Arts District in Las Vegas, which boasts 5 other Las Vegas breweries within a half-mile of each other. Hooray for walking between the Las Vegas breweries!. A lengthy tap list can sometimes be seen as negative: jack of all trades, master of none."

"The donuts at District: Donuts, Sliders, Brews basically blew our minds. The cookies and cream donut was phenomenal and the cinnamon roll was the best we’ve ever had anywhere. You can find these donuts in the Cosmopolitan Resort."

"After dinner, head back downtown to Tenaya Creek, a long-time Las Vegas brewery — it originally was located where PT’s Brewing is now. The taproom feels like so many of the nation’s taprooms: solid beer and low-key vibes, unusual for Las Vegas where most bars have gaming. While you’re in the neighborhood, you should check out the Neon Museum, which is only a mile away."

"Find a dozen of Tenaya Creek's own brews on 24 taps along with bottles from other craft beers such as Joseph James, Deschutes, Left Hand, and Victory."

"Blame Hop Nuts for kicking off the local beer craze in the Downtown Arts District. The name pays tribute to the brewery's Green Mamba Double IPA -- a hop-heavy West Coast-style DIPA that scores extremely high on the IBU scale. (That’s International Bitterness Units, so consider yourself warned.) A second taproom is now open in the west valley at Tivoli Village."

"Your next stop for great beer in Las Vegas is Hop Nuts Brewing located in the Las Vegas Arts District of Downtown. If you couldn’t guess it from the name, this brewery specializes in hop-driven beers such as citrusy IPAs. But, this isn’t all they have to offer their guests!"

"Even those who are not a hop head are still in luck at this hop-forward brewery, which produces not just citrusy IPAs and herbal pale ales, but also reds and Dunkelweizens. Food trucks, a large bar, and a patio round out the offerings. Also at Tivoli Village."

"There are a few breweries in the Downtown area, but Banger Brewing is the only one surrounded by the high energy and bright lights of the Fremont Street Experience. Despite the location, the brewery and bar is a favorite of locals and a welcome detour for tourists. Opened by a group of service-industry friends, Banger Brewing is proving to be a great Las Vegas success story."

"Banger Brewing sits right along Fremont Street, one of the most eclectic, interesting, and happening streets in all of the United States. Fremont Street is Old Town Vegas and dates back to when Las Vegas itself was originally founded. It was the first paved street in Sin City and even had the first traffic light."

"Beer styles at this brewery, named for partner/brewer Michael "Banger" Beaman, are rarely conventional, with twists such as a jalapeño Hefeweizen or a watermelon wheat. Online ordering available. Find it at Neonopolis on the Fremont Street Experience."

"This Henderson micro-brewery is dedicated to providing quality beers to the masses. The first taproom and brewery in the Artisan Booze District, there are several year-round brews and seasonal beers, and guest taps are also offered. One of the most retro Las Vegas Breweries, you’ll find tons of games like Nintendo, darts, cards and more to enjoy during your visit to the Artisan Booze District."

"It started with a coupon for a five-gallon beer kit and quickly grew into a full-blown operation in his garage. Hall developed his own recipes and tested them out with friends during UFC viewing parties. He was encouraged to open his own brewery -- which finally happened after selling his house."

"This poker-themed brewery has year-round beers like Ace in the Hole, a basil pale ale, and seasonals including Morning Pay Off, an imperial breakfast stout. Sample them in the tasting room while playing card games, darts, shuffleboard, and even an old school Nintendo. Growlers available to go."

"CraftHaus Brewery was founded by Dave and Wyndee Forrest, a husband and wife inspired by the craft beer culture in Europe. The brewery established the first taproom in the Henderson Booze District, emphasizing a social sense of community in place of gaming machines. A second taproom opened last year in the Downtown Arts District, featuring local artwork and a specialized Czech tap that controls the flow of foam to beer for an authentic slow-pour pilsner."

"Husband-and-wife owners, who claim to be partners in business and life, came up with the idea for CraftHaus Brewery while traveling through Europe (where many good ideas are born). And almost just as much as they love serving great craft beer, they also love talking about the craft of beer!. Their Resinate IPA is a year-round offering, but don’t skip over it."

"This Kickstarted modern spot allows customers to view the brewing process while sipping saisons, IPAs, and plenty of one-offs. Growlers are available, as are some cans. Tasting room in the Arts District as well."

"Trustworthy Brewing Co. & BBQ at the Grand Canal Shoppes features small-batch craft beers from MCC Hospitality Group. Customers can book private brewery tours to learn about the brewing process in the five beer tanks that sit behind the bar and produce 1,150 gallons of beer. The 60-seat bar features a lighted movie sign marquee while oversized booths in bright primary colors and geometric patterns surround the space."

"Trustworthy Brewing Co. brings Its award-winning West Coast-inspired craft brews to The Grand Canal Shoppes as the first and only operational craft brewery on the Las Vegas Strip."

"Located in Henderson’s Booze District, Astronomy Aleworkscreates “works of fermented art using keen scientific principles inspired by the hard-working men and women who labored to bring the stars and planets closer to our hearts”. Astronauts, for those who didn’t get the fancy wording. We sat next to one of the founders/brewers when we visited and he answered the question (from someone else) of “Why the name, Astronomy Aleworks?"

"Along with CraftHaus and Bad Beat, Astronomy Aleworks is one of three beer producers in the Henderson Booze District. The brewery has a sci-fi theme, but also describes itself as “science based” -- having hosted events with UNLV astronomy students and guest professors in the past. Special brews change every week or two and a canned rye IPA is in the works for the fall."

"Astronomy Aleworks features a 10 BBL brewery at the rear and a tap room at the front, offering seating at the bar, or chairs and tables by the windows. ​Speed of Light Kolsch, ​Monoceros Double IPA, Hawking Hazy Pale, Pluto IS A Planet, Moons of Uranus, and ​Ursa Minor Cascadian Dark Ale are among the brewery’s own beers on tap."

"With a backdrop of Tuscan architecture, the Bellagio’s faux Lake Como and dancing fountains are the antithesis of the Mojave Desert – although the resort does use reclaimed water. The fountain show’s recorded soundtrack varies, so cross your fingers that it will be Italian opera or ol’ Blue Eyes crooning ‘Luck Be a Lady,’ instead of country-and-western twang."

"Although our itinerary looked like we did it all, we had a few things that we didn’t get to do such as taking a photo in front of the Las Vegas Welcome Sign and watching the Bellagio fountain at night. Overall, we had an amazing four days and we can’t wait to go back!"

"A beer-themed ode to the Atomic Age in Las Vegas debuts with a roster of homegrown brews. Able Baker Brewing Co. brings a downtown micro-brewery and taproom filled with atomic orange flooring and Nevada gear decking the walls of the Gateway District space. Some of Able Baker’s beers on tap at the 15-Bbl brewhouse include Atomic Duck IPA, Honey Dip Stout, Cherry Berry Bang Bang, Double Dead Duck IPA, Test Site Saison, 5-Pepper Porter, and Chris Kael Impaled ale."

"Able Baker Brewing is at the south end of the Arts District and immediately gets you with those awesome brewery vibes. Bright lights, big ceilings, colorful chalkboard menus, lively music, shiny brewing equipment, and ducks."

"Blame Hop Nuts for kicking off the local beer craze in the Downtown Arts District. The name pays tribute to the brewery's Green Mamba Double IPA -- a hop-heavy West Coast-style DIPA that scores extremely high on the IBU scale. (That’s International Bitterness Units, so consider yourself warned.) A second taproom is now open in the west valley at Tivoli Village."
