Sin City Brewing Co. Introduces the Las Vegas Strip to a Grand Cru

LAS VEGAS – Sin City Brewing Co. has tapped the newest beer on the Las Vegas Strip, the Sin City Grand Cru. As part of the brewery’s series of higher alcohol seasonals, the Grand Cru is a strong Witbier to complement the hot summer months. The inspiration for Sin City’s first Belgian-style beer comes from Master Brewer Richard Johnson’s backpacking days through Europe, searching out all the unique beers he could taste and discovering the incredibly complex Belgian brewing landscape.

“Summer is the perfect time to cool down with a refreshing wheat beer,” said Johnson. “The Grand Cru’s balanced flavor profile isn’t too hoppy, has a caramel sweetness and is topped off with notes of orange zest and coriander.”

The term “Grand Cru” originally has its roots in wine, meaning a vineyard known for producing exemplary wines. In brewing, a Grand Cru designates a premium beer produced in a limited volume, usually a more elaborate version of a previous recipe. Sin City’s rendition has higher alcohol content than a standard Witbier, weighing in at 8 percent ABV and a modest hop profile of 25 IBU. The Grand Cru is now available throughout August at Sin City’s location on Las Vegas Boulevard at Harmon Corner and is arriving next week at the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian.
