Couple o' Brews

We’re Back!!! It has been quite awhile since we last posted. We are very sorry to keep our beer community waiting. A lot has happened since our last post, but we are back and we will be posting more than ever: 1. I Am Now a Certified Cicerone One of the biggest reasons why we have not posted any new material, is because we buried our noses in books and studied, studied, and studied. After we thought we were prepared guess what??? We studied some more!!! It was all worth it in the end, at least for one of us. I passed, but unfortunately Veronica didn’t  (Veronica Blog Here)   It was a moment that could have torn us apart forever, but our love for beer, and each other prevailed.  2. I Finally Have 1 Job, but Veronica Has 3 I was balancing working Triple George Grill, and The Kitchen at Atomic. Balancing both, and working 7 days a week really took a toll on me, and this blog. Eventually I was forced to choose one or the other, and in the end, I was just offered more at Triple George.  Ato

Anniversary Partayy!! This past weekend, Couple o' Brews hit up the third anniversary party for Bad Beat Brewing. Bad Beat is in the Henderson Booze District on Eastgate.  This brewery has been spreading their beer all over town, particularly by canning and distributing to grocery stores.  You may have seen their Bluffin' Isn't Weisse or the Gutshot Stout.  In their taproom, they carry different brews, and have been releasing limited stock of some new beers, like the Queen of Hearts or the Pillow Fight, which we have reviewed in our videos!! The Anniversary party had the classic Bad Beat beers featured, as well as some rare release deliciousness. They had two bars, so no long waits!! One of the bars was in the brewery, so you got to experience being in the brewery setting.  The other was in their regular tap room with different beers at each bar.  Due to the weather being almost 120 degrees, its hard to keep that place cool, but the beer was cold, and it was flowing

  This week starts the beginning of the Summer Sour Series from Couple o' Brews! We're focusing on four different sour variants from local breweries around town! Sours, specifically Berliner Weisse styles, are perfect for the hot summer months, because they are refreshing and tart like lemonade. Perfect for kayaking, hiking, boating, or whatever your favorite summertime activity.  We'll be posting a video every two weeks, so stay tuned! Each of these breweries featured, are in Henderson, and all of the four videos are filmed out at Lake Mead! We had a blast kayaking and filming. We had issues with the wind and many times while filming it was total garbage. What was fun was filming in the kayaks and we kept floating away with the current. Too silly. There's an island we kayaked to, that's one of those pop ups after the water levels had lowered, and it was perfect for docking and relaxing. Queen of Hearts First up, we have the Queen of Hearts Berline

Top 5 Beer Spots All Around Town! Drinking beer doesn't have to be just at your home, at parties, or on adventures. Being in Vegas, we have found that a good beer spot is few and far between. Luckily with the explosion of craft beer, some sweet new and old spots have surfaced. We want you guys to check them out and learn to drink beer like a local! Atomic Liquors (and Kitchen) 917 Fremont St. Las Vegas, NV 89101 Atomic Liquors Downtown This is one of the first big arguments Justin and Veronica have had; over whose job is cooler. Justin's job won out for the exclusivity of the beer taps and the history of the bar. Atomic Liquors is the oldest free standing bar in Las Vegas. It is a destination for tourists and locals alike. Starting out as Virginia's cafe, the owner acquired a liquor pouring license which elevated them to a new style of liquor sale. They had the tavern license which Atomic liquor still holds, tavern license number one.  The reason why this

Veronica here with a little blog takeover!! Unfortunately, Justin couldn't be with me, but this past weekend I was in Boise, Idaho for a wedding and decided to check out some of the local beer scene! In addition, I've brought some beer from my town of Las Vegas! One of my favorite breweries from Las Vegas is Crafthaus. This brewery was opened by Wyndee and Dave Forrest in 2012 with the intention of bringing quality brews to the people of Las Vegas. Since then, they have not only exploded in the Vegas market, but have worked to change the brewing laws in Vegas to be more brewery and craft beer friendly. One of the coolest things about Crafthaus is how much they experiment with their base beers. They frequently add peppers, fruits, or try different hop varietals to enhance their already perfected beers. One of these experiments is the Shiny New Toy series, which is a single hop extra pale ale with rotating hop variations with every release. This version I have chosen uses Ida

Welcome to Our Life Could you imagine a life without beer? I couldn't, but luckily we don't have to.  We're Justin and Veronica, two super beer enthusiasts. This is the formal introduction to our lives together, what our plans are, and a fun look into our passion project with beer and adventure. We are currently residing in the hospitality mecca of Las Vegas. We love each other, we love beer, and we love trying new experiences. In the beginning, there were two souls, lost and lonely in the world of craft beer. Those two lost souls happen to be Justin and Veronica, and luckily bonded over the love of booze, fun, and Zooey Deschanel. In the beginning of this craft beer love story, they happen to enjoy a Hefeweizen or Blonde and as their palate for craft beer blossomed, so did their passion for each other. Fast forward to now, these two Beer Birds are engaged and getting married at 32North Brewing in San Diego.  Now that Morgan Freeman is done narrating our perfect lo
