Announcing Drinking Skeptically at TAM8

Found it. "The Pub". Thanks for the tip, we may check that out when we land in Vegas two weeks before TAM.
 
I saw that, Hokulele, but I'm afraid we'll only arrive in Vegas on Thursday. Of course we'll be driving around, so we're pretty flexible, but if the alternatives are Vegas and any National Park you'd choose, the NP will win.

For the record: I plan to do a tour through as many brew pubs as the southwest has to offer before coming to TAM. Any tips are welcome.

And yes, I'm only trying to get my post count to 50 before the avatars are printed...

There's a nice Irish pub called Fado in the south part of the valley on Eastern near the 215. There's a British Pub on Maryland & Harmon called Crown & Anchor where Ricky Hatton goes when he fights in town. There's a place to play beer pong at Blondie's at PH--more for the college kids and young, obnoxious tourists. Green Valley Ranch also has a nice Irish pub. There are also countless PT's and other pubs catering to locals.

edit -- A small Station Casino in Green Valley has its own micro brewery, Barley's. The tourists aren't impressed, which is why we locals love it so much.

edit 2 -- I see you're from Germany. Try the Hofbrauhaus and let us know how "German" it really is.

Seriously though, I would take the NP over the 777 too. Luckily for me, I have seen most of the closer ones already.

Me too. Which is why this time we'll go as far as Carlsbad Caverns. And include some non-NPs, like Coyote Buttes North.

Thanks for all the tips. I'll see how many of those I can go to. The Hofbrauhaus, though... Never been there. Don't want to go there. I may be prejudiced, but I expect it is a bad copy of a kind of place I would not even visit in Germany. Also, it's Bavarian, which is to German as Texas is to Main.

No, it was much bigger than that. It was about 4 feet tall (maybe taller), and a cylinder of about 6 inches in diameter.

I think there was a 6ft version too, but there were only a handful of us who actually drank beer, and we weren't sure if it was gonna be any good, so we opted for the 4-footer.
