Collaboration Beers, UNLVino Deal and Lavo's Novelty Bloody Mary

DOWNTOWN — Motley Brews collaborated with CraftHaus Brewery to create a beer for the Great Vegas Festival of Beer on Saturday, April 11. The fifth anniversary beer, dubbed “Motley in the Haus,” is an Xtra Pale Ale brewed with five different hop varietals and will contain 5.5 percent ABV. Also, the Nevada Craft Brewers Association again collaborated on a festival-exclusive beer. Brewers from local Las Vegas breweries gathered in February to create “Banana Split,” a German-style hefeweizen brewed with vanilla beans and cacao nibs. “Banana Split” will be available exclusively in the NCBA Pavilion at the festival, alongside several one-off releases from Nevada breweries.
