Hello! I'm pretty new to home brewing, but am loving every minute of it. I wish I would have been doing this earlier when I lived in Detroit! Anyway, hello from burning hot Las Vegas.
I love Las Vegas! My aunt and uncle live there, and so does one of my best friends. The wife and I used to visit often when we lived in Arizona. It's kind of a long drive from Portland, OR We would always go into the Planet Hollywood mall (I think? It's the one with the painted sky inside), and I'd fill one of those huge Oktoberfest steins at Sin City Brewery, and we'd walk up and down the strip at night, looking at all the people. Funny, we're not into gambling. We just love people-watching and all the amazing imagery. We've been to the Blue Man Group, magic shows, comedy showcases, rides, listen to live music.... just an awesome place for touristy stuff. I miss it.
