Last night I went over to The Monte Carlo's brewpub. The place was, like all Las Vegas establishments, beautifully decorated and laid-out. Unfortunately all the money they've obviously thrown into the place hasn't made it to the beer. I only tried two that, going by their styles, might appeal to me. They didn't.
Monte Carlo Silver State Stout
(draft) Very thin flavor and mouthfeel. Definitely drinkable, but so is water.
(draft) Quite disgusting. Has that tingly mouthfeel that I detest in lagers. I was surprised to find it in this, ostensibly an ale. This is a beer trying to appeal to the swill drinking masses and the good beer drinkers at the same time. It fails at both.
When I left The Monte Carlo I took a cab to The Rio and went to The Tilted Kilt.
While there I had a Newcastle and a couple of Rogue Dead Guy Ales.
It was pretty cool to be back at The Tilted Kilt though. I wish some of the people I've gotten to know over the years had been working. I'm told that I should come back Tuesday.
