Great beer every other block…and wanted to try a local brewery. We went to Big Dog’s and had a TERRIFIC afternoon!
-Woody S.
My most favorite place in all of LV! Good food, good service and great beer. My go to every time.
-Mandi W.
Came here with some friends for a late breakfast paired with… “the main reason to come to a brewery”. The selection of brews was outstanding. Probably the best I’ve been able to sample in the couple weeks I was in the area, and even better prices to match. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
