BEER! Cicerone Sarah Johnson tries improving Vegas' luxury beer market

August 20, 2015

Beer geek Sarah Johnson says Vegas lags in luxury beers compared to other cities, so she's on a mission to get local distributors, and international brands, to put luxury beer on Vegas menus for tourists clamoring for higher quality brew, which would only make the rich richer so it sounds like a no-brainer but it hasn't happened yet. Johnson, Nevada’s first female certified cicerone, names her favorite beers she can't buy in Vegas, and explains archaic Prohibition laws preventing her from buying a favorite Russian six-pack willy-nilly. If you wish to drink with her, she hosts the Mandalay Bay Beach Beer and Barrel Festival on Saturday, Aug. 29, 2015. For more on that, check out MandalayBay.com.
