10 Best Breweries 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."

"Our last stop on our brewery tour in Downtown Las Vegas is Triple 7 Restaurant & Microbrewery located inside Main Street Station Casino, Brewery, & Hotel. This Vegas microbrewery features six craft beers with some of the freshest flavors that will ever hit your lips. All your favorites – golden ale, hefeweizen, pale ale, IPA, and more – are all available year-round."

"Spend a few minutes talking to The Mad Fermentist himself and you’ll come to find that he just absolutely loves craft beer. He’s well-traveled, having been born on an Air Force base in Germany and traveling through Europe for the first portion of his life, and those life experiences come through in all of his beer. Located above the Three Sheets Craft Beer Bar in the Arts District, The Mad Fermentist brews its beer down in Henderson at Mojave Brewing and has a pretty diverse lineup."

"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."

"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."

"There is a reason that our family celebrates so many birthdays here- the food is great, the selection is huge & the customer…"

"Centaur Art Gallery is the oldest art gallery in Las Vegas and offers a great collection, especially if you’re interested in purchasing artwork. The gallery, which has a large collection of 19th- and 20th-century pieces, also has contemporary selections and a master collection of artworks from the likes of Pablo Picasso, Renoir, Salvador Dalí, Rembrandt, and other acclaimed artists."

"Centaur Art Galleries is home to one of the largest selections of fine art. The gallery contains works created by the world's most important artists in history.[Learn more]"

"Inside Shanghai Plaza in Chinatown, Kura Revolving Sushi Bar offers sushi plates for $2.75 each. Chilled items can be picked off the revolving conveyor belt for immediate eating. You can also order directly from the touchscreen monitor above your table, where you can order a selection of entrees and desserts as well (the chefs will zip them right out to your table via the conveyor belt within minutes)."
