A beer festival in 2024 isn’t just about beer — though that would be enough. Motley Brews’ 12-year-old brews ‘n’ bites event suspects some of us need an activity to complement the nonstop glugging. So, it now includes a silent disco, karaoke, and/or a scavenger hunt, which all allow at least one free hand for drinking suds. For the purists: There is beer, and some beer, and a lot more beer. And while it’s good to see a heavy helping of visiting breweries — from San Diego’s Modern Times to Delaware’s Dogfish Head — the brightest spotlight will be on the 15 locals, including Beer Zombies, CraftHaus, North 5th Brewing, and even Tonopah Brewing. Pro tip: The Nevada Craft Brewers Association kiosk offers a rare/limited local pour every 20 minutes.
