The editorial take
Nevada Brew Works pairs house-brewed beers with a serious whiskey program, including Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year and a Pappy Flight. The cocktail list leans clever, with house syrups and names like Bill Nye Whiskey Sour. Beers rotate, with the NBW West Coast IPA a customer favorite. Wine and nonalcoholic options are simple and inexpensive.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Pappy Flight to sample four allocated pours, or a single Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year. For cocktails, the Ellen Ochoa blends mezcal with pineapple syrup and orange bitters. With food, a NBW Lager offers a clean counterpoint.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Bourbon enthusiasts will appreciate the allocated bottles and flights. Craft beer fans can explore rotating house brews, and cocktail drinkers will find inventive options with house-made syrups.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $13-$14, wine by the glass $9-$10, and bourbon pours $10-$100. Flights range from $16 to $150, so the tab depends heavily on whiskey ambitions.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a working brewery with a deep bourbon list is rare. The Pappy Flight at $150 offers a direct route into rare allocated pours, while house beers like the NBW West Coast IPA show local brewing range.
