Pour 24

Pour 24, what a snore... I was in Las Vegas today for a conference. On my way to the airport, I stopped by Pour 24, located in the New York, New York casino. I had heard it's the only craft beer bar on the Vegas Strip. This is probably true. It is an open, small, uninviting rectangle bar overlooking part of the casino, not far from the main entrance. According to its name, it has twenty-four craft beers on tap. It has Stone - Arrogant Bastard and Ruination - several Alaskan, Firestones, New Belgians, and Rouges on tap along with some other craft brewers. I thought the list was somewhat basic, nothing really interesting or hard to obtain. For a bar that bills itself as a celebration of America's best craft beers, the selection was disappointing. I tried a Rouge Brutal Bitter. It, like all the other beers I saw, was poured in weird, small, half champagne flute-half pilsner glass. I'm not sure I'd go back to this bar. I think the Hofbrauhaus (warning: ommpah music) would be a lot more fun.
