Ellis Island Brewery (Vegas)
Has a Heff that has a nice taste and the claim is brewed with "extra wheat" to give it that taste. That was several beers ago so I don't remember.
A king prime rib dinned or steak dinner includes a 24oz brew for $7.99.
This is a couple blocks off the strip but well worth the walk.
Now if I could only find my way back.

The Terre Haute Tribune-Star reports the original, handwritten recipe by Terre Haute Brewing Co. assistant brewmaster Walter Braun was discovered in 1990, and the beer was revived locally from 2000 to 2006. However, Upland says that recipe is incomplete, and it's assembling volunteers to help recreate its taste.
Upland plans to reintroduce Champagne Velvet in Indiana and the Midwest in April.

"assembling volunteers to help recreate its taste" ???

For $75 on eBbay they can just buy a can and sample it.

All I need to do now is to apply for Special Use re-zoning so I can apply for a brewery license... I don't think the neighbors will mind too much

Hi tech tap list.

Beer Maker Builds a Raspberry Pi Tap List for His Home Brews
The Raspberry Pi has a reputation for being beginner-friendly, but even slightly buzzed hackers have been able use the mini microprocessor to improve their microbrews. Now one tinkerer is using his board, plus a 7-inch Sony touchscreen and a little PHP coding as the perfect high-tech setup for for his home-brew tap list. Created by a hobbyist beer maker who goes by the name "SchrodingersDrunk," the setup can give a garage operation the high-end brewpub makeover for about $35. And while the project's creator wants to keep his identity secret, he has shared the code on GitHub. The project got started when the mysterious brewmeister and his roommate decided, over a few beers, to turn up the heat on their alcohol production. One would build a proper kegerator, while the other would develop a tablet interface to keep track of what was on tap. Their stopgap solution had been a simple whiteboard, but the duo was intrigued by the notion of interactivity. "We'd seen digital tap displays in a couple bars.... We figured that would be nearing overkill (read: the perfect solution for us) and didn't really look back," he writes.

Got some extra wall space? Cover it with bottle caps. Really cool 2 min video showing Kegworks covering 459sq ft of wall with 60k bottle caps.
