BLT Burger, Mirage, Las Vegas

Why the hell am I blogging about a burger place on a beer blog? Well, this burger place had a damn fine beer selection. That's why.

Basically, we had this late flight into Vegas. When we finally got to our hotel, the Mirage, and got unpacked, it was after 11 pm. We really wanted to have a drink before we crashed out.

We first went to this wine bar in the hotel: closed. However, they recommended that we try this burger place in the hotel called BLT Burger, claiming that they had decent drink selections, in addition to beef patties on buns, and they were open late.


What surprised me about the place, when we got there, was the beer selection. They has a huge variety of Belgian beers, including Hoegaarden, Chimay Cinq Cents, Lindemans Framboise, Duvel, and Westmalle Trappist Tripel. What surprised me even more is what they had on tap. I mean, who has Hoegaarden and Lindemans on tap? Crazy! They had other European imports as well, such as Schnieder Weiss, and Pilsner Urquel. On flip side, they had white trash beers in a can too, like Schlitz, and Pabsts Blue Ribbon. They had everything in between, from Bud, to obscure beers like Abita Turbo Dog.

Even more surprising was this: The European beers were even offered in their traditional glasses! I had a Chimay in a Chimay glass. I had a Duvel in a Duvel glass.

Here is a Duvel in a Duvel glass.

Here I am enjoying the Duvel in the Duvel glass.

The whole experience was a pleasant surprise. Who would have thought that from a burger joint?

I enjoyed it so much that I thought, "I've got to blog about this!"

And, so I did.
