Put Hop Ride IPA on your shopping list

Last week, I reviewed Tenaya Creek Brewery’s Calico Brown, a pleasant enough product, but not really my cup of … beer. This week, I get the distinct pleasure of reviewing another of Tenaya Creek’s products, Hop Ride IPA. To recap, Tenaya Creek is as solid a local brewery in Las Vegas as you’re likely to find.

Champagne’s Café 3557 S. Maryland Parkway, 737-1699. If you haven’t been to Champagne’s Cafe, stop for a moment and picture what it might be. Then take that image and turn it on its head. This low-lit bar and karaoke joint is a divey dream, complete with vinyl booths, red and gold brocade wallpaper, a permanent haze and a crowd that’s split between crusty old-timers and hipster college kids. Somehow they manage to get along, taking the mic to sing karaoke ... Read more...
