Rí Rá Las Vegas, located inside The Shoppes at Mandalay Place (click link to book), enhances its beer collection with several new imported and local brews.
Among the new beers are several imported draft selections, including Porterhouse Porter, Newcastle Brown Ale, and Ayinger Oktoberfest. For a classic light stout, Porterhouse Porter is dry, clean and bitter without any sourness. This Irish microbrew has the added complexity of a late kettle hop with a sweet malt finish. Newcastle Brown Ale, an English brew, has a dark malt flavor with hints of caramel and toffee to accompany a slightly bitter aftertaste. Ayinger Oktoberfest, imported directly from Germany, is a flavor-rich brew with Munich malt flavors. Its low hop flavors and moderately low bitterness make it lightly sweet up front with a dry finish.
Available by the bottle, Rí Rá welcomes Guinness Black Lager, an imported Irish beer that combines a mix of Euro malts and black coffee. Guests can expect the taste to be similar to a classic Euro pale lager, but smoother and more balanced with a touch of coffee flavor.
Rí Rá has also added several new local brews. Sin City Amber is an amber-hued micro-brewed draft lager made with imported and specialty malts. This Oktoberfest-style beer balances a full-bodied malt character with imported German Hallertauer hops.
New local selections available by the bottle include Tenaya Creek Nut Brown, Joseph James Red Fox Imperial Stout and Knee Deep Hopstar IPA. Guests can chose the nutty, bitter chocolate Tenaya Creek Nut Brown for a slightly sweet flavor or the Joseph James Red Fox Imperial Stout for a creamy chocolate brew with licorice, espresso and roasted nuttiness. For a beer that delivers a smooth finish and mild bitterness, the aromatic Knee Deep Hopstar IPA is an India style pale ale, combining six malts and four hop varieties.
About Rí Rá Las Vegas
Crafted in the warm pub style of 19th century Ireland, Rí Rá Las Vegas is located inside The Shoppes at Mandalay Place. The authentic Irish pub features a multitude of artifacts that were carefully restored in Wicklow, Ireland and shipped to their new home in Las Vegas. Rí Rá Las Vegas contains an authentic Victorian Shop bar that began its life in Ireland in the 1880s, a whiskey bar adorned with an original glazed jewelry cabinet from 1900, an oak floor from a whiskey distillery and an 8-foot-tall, 500-pound carved plaster statue of St. Patrick dating back to 1850. The pub hosts live entertainment seven nights a week in a music room constructed with artifacts dating back to 1890 from the Olympia Theater in Dublin, Ireland. On the weekends, guests can kick back at Rí Rá Live, where every Friday and Saturday at 11:30 p.m. the best bands in town take the pub’s stage. Born and raised in Dublin, Rí Rá Las Vegas owners David Kelly and Ciaran Sheehan have been close friends since they were 14-years-old. Kelly and Sheehan later partnered with Jay Luther, whom Kelly met while working for Guinness. Rí Rá Las Vegas is the 12th pub the trio has opened in the U.S.
