Best Beer Selection/Beer Halls In Las Vegas

Beer has been around for thousands of years. In the modern world, it is the third most consumed beverage behind water and tea. Throughout history, it has nourished us, quenched our thirst and even been used medicinally. Modern studies have proven that light to moderate consumption can actually reduce a person’s risk of stroke and cardiac disease. Beer is often considered the lubricant that makes run-of-the-mill events special occasions, and some of the world’s best beers and beer halls can be found in Las Vegas. — Mike Donahue
