One day you’re going to wake up and realize that you spent way too much time binge watching Netflix and forgot to live. This is me. At the CARRA headquarters, we’ve been discussing how we have forgotten to live. Tita talked about how most of us have lost our joie de vivre and it made me think: when was the last time I went out? There’s a reason why they say us millennials are a hard-to-reach audience. We’re only ever living our lives by watching Netflix or living through someone’s Snapchat or IG story who are simply posting for a like, comment, or view. Did we really lose our appetite for life?
I came across the Downtown Brew Festival, which takes place at the place at the Clark County Amphitheater and it sounds like fun. Though I’m not typically a beer drinker, I am making the conscious effort to get my appetite for life back and get a beer or two. Time to live, guys. Or, fear waking up one day realizing you’re a 32-year-old Vegas native who had no idea we had an Amphitheater. KMS! If you need more convincing to leave behind the Roku and attend the Downtown Brew Festival, here’s what’s happening on Saturday, Oct. 20:
1. Second Largest Beer Festival In Las Vegas
The Downtown Brew Festival is one of the largest beer festivals in Las Vegas, second only to Motley Brews’ Great Vegas Festival of Beer. They’re on their seventh year and if you haven’t attended at least once “what you doin’?”
2. Disneyland For Beer Enthusiast
Downtown Brew Festival can probably be considered the Disneyland for beer enthusiasts because they’ll be hosting more than 70 breweries this year with more than 250 craft beers on tap! Seven of those 70 breweries are local to Nevada.
3. Deliciously Sexy Food Trucks
Can be food be sexy? It can be whatever the fuck it wants to be as long as its taste bomb and something tells me those Carne Asada Fries from the plant-based Mexican food restaurant Tacotarian are going taste nothing less than deliciously sexy.
4. Local And National Musical Performances
Downtown Brew Festival will host entertainers including songwriter and producer Ryan Whyte Maloney who made it to the top 20 on “The Voice”; local rapper and songwriter Mike Xavier; and musician Vin A. who performs nightly on the Strip with the Bronx Wanderers and the opening act ahead of Bon Jovi at T-Mobile Arena. Tickets start at only $40.
