I see that the Boiler Room at the Colorado Belle has hired a new
brewmaster. The beer had gone down hill in my opinion, and was not all
that great anyway. When I was at the Boiler Room about a month ago,
they were down to only 2 brews, and the bartender was pushing the
Rolling Rock on tap. They now have five brews on tap:
Golden Ale, Amber Ale, Pale Ale and Stout. I tried the Stout last
week, and it was pretty good. The specialty beer is Brown Ale. The
next specialty beer is an I.P.A., and should be available in about a
month.

As a side note, I have always been amused at the signs all around
town. They proudly state that the Boiler Room was voted the top
microbrewery in town. Lots of competition, huh?

Beer , beer , beer. Beer, beer, beer .... whoopa!

I have always thought the Colorado Belle's beers were weak, the worst
homebrew I have ever tasted. The best, Main Street Station for a Casino.

There are three Micros within walking distance in my hometown, so I can judge
these things. CB brew those things on a budget and for the masses getting
off all those damn day-trip busses.

On the other hand. the 'tenders in the Boiler Room would try to talk you into
Premium drinks, once the sun went down. Vox vodka without asking...etc.

I have to agree about the weak micro brews that they put out. Was it
the brew master, ingredients, or the equipment? My hope is that the
new brew master Marshall Redmond will improve on the quality. I think
the best micro brew was the old Holy Cow! at the north end of the Las
Vegas strip. I really miss that place.

A lot of people don't know that you can sometimes get the latest
micro brew at the Mississippi lounge and the River Bar VP bars. For
some reason, the Shooters Bar never has carried any of the those
beers.

I can't believe that they still have that little T-shirt/souvenir
shop open inside the Boiler Room. I have never seen anyone buy a
thing there. Until the brews improve, I won't be buying a T-shirt.

I wonder who came in second on the voting for the best micro brewery
in Laughlin??
