Bad Beat Brewing 3rd Anniversary

-

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 freely.

What beers you ask?

  • Triple IPA- This was an easy drinking Triple IPA, that goes down smooth.  With the high alcohol content this could be dangerous with how drinkable it was.  The Triple IPA featured Simcoe hops, which came through in the flavor of bitter and clean grapefruit. 
  • Joker Anniversary Ale- a Belgian Golden Strong.  This brew was aged in Chardonnay barrels for four months.  This beer had an expressive yeast, with lots of fruity esters that complimented the Chardonnay barrel flavor. The mouthfeel was thick and viscous with a sweet full flavor.
  • Rally Cap- a Vienna Lager which was true to style, a clean, crisp, and malty lager. 
  • Pillow Fight- a NE style IPA which we have the rating and description here.
  • Queen of Hearts- Berliner Weisse featured in last week's start to the Summer Sour Series.
  • BA Heater- This beer was out by the time we arrived, but it's an Imperial Milk Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels with serrano peppers, gimme that spice!

Foodies and Friends

In addition to beers, they had a food truck from Dazzling Bistro. I feel like these guys are always at the best beer events, spreading their positive vibes, beer promotion, and of course, delicious and dazzling cuisine. My parents joined us for some beers, food, and good times. We played Exploding Kittens (one of Justin's favorite games) and of course I lost first, and my dad, Roger, won. Figures. All in all, the anniversary party was a warm but fun environment, packed with cool people and some awesome beers.  What a great celebration for three full years of brewing and drinking. Cheers to three years Bad Beat!

Veronica’s Takeover: Cicerone Feels

Still the Same Ol’ G If you know me at all, you know these past six months have been a whirlwind. I’ve juggled multiple jobs, studied for the Certified Cicerone test, planned a wedding and oh yea, trying to grasp on the what ever little sliver of life is left! Through the ups and downs, we’ve found some sure footing and I’m very excited to start this next chapter in our lives. The Feels Are Real My story today starts back in November, and unfortunately it’s not a happy ending fairytale story. I was really looking forward to our weeklong vacation in San Diego. The allure of escaping everyday life was calling to me. Unfortunately this trip was not all fun and games. I started the week at orientation for Modern Times, and I figured I would go ahead and take the test that I had studied over a year to take..... The Certified Cicerone Test .  I would say I’m more book smart than street smart, but really who even knows what the hell that means!! The months leading up to this, I took the ti

Beer is Life and Our Life with Beer

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

Hop Nuts: Double The Cans, Double the Hops

Check Out My Cans !! As beer lovers, some of the best days in the life are new beer releases. The taste of freshly kegged and canned beer can’t be beat. So when we heard Hop Nuts was doing a double can release this past Friday we were psyched! 18b Is The Place To Be Hop Nuts Brewing is located in the heart of the downtown 18b District on Main St. This area is filled with fun spots to make a day of it, starting with coffee at Makers and Finders, antiquing at Retro Vegas and finish with a fresh beer at Hop Nuts. This week’s release was perfectly timed with First Friday.   Hazeilla DIPA The first of Hop Nuts double can release that we tried was the Hazeilla Double IPA, an 8% Hazy DIPA brewed and double dry hopped with Mosaic, Amarillo, and Nelson Sauvin hops. This beer has an in your face hop character reminiscent of some of the best West Coast IPA’s, but finishes with a bit of sweet melon that reminds you it’s a Hazy IPA. This beer will please the “Hop-Heads”, but still remains approacha
