Las Vegas, Nevada, is globally known for its neon-lit Strip and high-energy nightlife, but beneath the city’s glittering facade lies a thriving craft beverage scene carving its own niche. Cheers Nevada offers the VIP Craft Brewery Tour and Craft Beer & Bourbon Experience, a refreshing way to engage with Las Vegas beyond the casinos and clubs. These guided tours introduce guests to local breweries and distilleries off the beaten path, showcasing the region’s distinct brewing culture in an intimate, VIP setting.

This is not just about tasting beer—it's a focused journey on how craft brewing thrives in the desert. Participants get up close with unique beer recipes shaped by the Southwest’s climate and water profile. The tours highlight innovative brewers who utilize a blend of traditional and modern techniques to produce bold, flavorful brews and small-batch bourbons. Guests experience behind-the-scenes access to brewing and distilling processes while sampling fresh pours paired thoughtfully with local snacks.

This local outfitter provides a custom, personable adventure without the rush, ideal for locals and visitors wanting a grounded way to appreciate the city’s emerging beverage landscape.

The tours offer a laid-back pace yet rich storytelling—combining insights on the science of distilling with the history of brewing in the Southwest, including the rise of craft beer in the 21st century and the impact of the Nevada water supply on flavor profiles. In a city many associate with megawatt spectacle, this offbeat excursion uncovers another side of Las Vegas worth raising a glass to.
