ABOUT GREAT VEGAS

Great Vegas has always been built on good beer and even better people. Here's how we got here—and where we're headed next.

Our origin story

Great Vegas Festival of Beer has been bringing craft beer lovers together since 2011, growing from a local beer festival into one of the Southwest's premier celebrations of craft beer, food, and community. What started with a simple idea—to showcase great breweries and create a genuinely fun afternoon for beer lovers—has become a tradition for thousands of attendees every spring.

Over the years, Great Vegas has welcomed hundreds of breweries from Nevada and across the country, partnered with some of Las Vegas' best chefs and restaurants, and evolved into much more than a beer festival. It's a place to discover your new favorite brewery, catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and spend a Saturday doing what Vegas does best: having a great time.

Since 2023, Brothers Molloy Events has proudly led the event's planning, logistics, and on-site execution behind the scenes, helping bring Great Vegas to life each year. Beginning in 2027, we're honored to officially carry the torch as the new owners and producers of the Great Vegas Festival of Beer.

While there's a new team at the helm, our goal remains the same: preserve everything people have come to love about Great Vegas while continuing to grow the festival for years to come.

More than just a good time

Good beer deserves good people behind it. That's why 2% of every ticket sold goes directly to support the Nevada Craft Brewers Association, helping strengthen and grow the state's independent brewing community.

The Nevada Craft Brewers Association works to promote craft beer culture across the Silver State, support local breweries and brewpubs, advocate for modern beer laws, and foster collaboration among Nevada's brewing community. So every ticket you buy helps support the people who keep Nevada beer great—both at the festival and all year long. Cheers to that, right??
