Las Vegas Brewery Unveils New “Nevada State Flower” Beer

Drive approximately 14 feet in any direction in Southern Nevada and you are bound to see them. Traffic cones and barrels strewn about. Road closures. Lane restrictions. Yes, these pesky buggers are on every road, street and avenue from here to the state line, and one Las Vegas brewery is deciding to pay homage to the unofficial Nevada state flower.

The beer, aptly titled "Nevada State Flower," is a hazy double IPA that brings together to things we know too well. Never ending traffic delays due to construction in perpetuity, and being driven to drink.

Able Baker Brewing Company obviously lives among us and knows the pain of the daily drive on our highways and surface streets. Their description makes it very clear. "They’re everywhere. Bright orange and seemingly in full bloom year-round," Able Baker says in the product description. "No matter where you turn, cars from all over are lined up to stare at them. No one is there to maintain them, no one even knows how or why they’re there, or for how long."

The brewer is known for some pretty creative names for their brews. "DUCK YOU... and the HAZE you rode in on," "Atomic Duck," "Cherry Berry BANG! BANG!" and more adorn their to-go beer menu. That's on top of the nearly three dozen beers they have ready to go on tap.

If you are interested in taking a sip of the new brew, it will be premiering at their brewery on Monday, July 3rd. They are located at 1510 South Main Street between Utah Ave and Wyoming Ave, just north of The Strat Hotel, Casino & SkyPod. Hopefully there are no detours.

Also, pop quiz. Do you know Nevada's actual state flower? It's sagebrush. Lame, we know.

The 2022 NFL Season is upon us, and if you're road tripping to a far away stadium, we're here to help you to plan your beer budget, based on what beer cost at every NFL stadium last season.

Every year, sports business data firm Team Marketing Report releases its NFL Fan Cost Index and they found that the price of beer varies greatly across the stadiums. Statista has really good data on this, too.  And the price of a beer seems to be totally unrelated to how good the team is. For example, a beer at a Jaguars game is double what they charge in Cincinnati at a Bengals game. The Dolphins charge $11 which is why fans might be more inclined to show up drunk. The Washington Commanders probably have no business charging for beer at all. They should make beer free to anyone willing to buy a ticket. And the beer should delivered. With peanuts!

With that: let’s analyze the price of beer at each of the NFL stadiums. Keep in mind that this is what beer cost last season, and there's a good chance that prices could go up for the upcoming 2022/2023 season.

Yes, the team from Washington has the highest priced beer. A team that hasn't finished above .500 in 5 years. They did make the playoffs in 2020 when they won the East with a 7-9 record.

The Bengals need to up that price. That team is too good.

The Dolphins will probably have to raise their beer prices to pay for legal fees and fines.

Aimee+Shawn's video best of is a little short this week because Shawn took his boys to Super Nintendo World! The impromptu trip was filled with missing Mario toys, a multitude of crammed families and great memories. (If you want great tips on how to take on the land without "Early Access", check out his blog.)

While Shawn was gone, Aimee was on her front porch, cackling maniacally, watching a grasshopper die slowly. Sure, she hates grasshoppers. No one loves them. But... does this make her unwell?

You know who is really unwell? Aimee's son Jayden. He learned the hard way he should not only listen to mom... but there's something you should never tell a woman. You never tell a man to "calm down"... and you never call a woman this. Now he's without his XBOX.

Recently, Shawn went to a restaurant where his waitress (who he sees often) sat down next to him. Her stepdad passed away that week. Obviously, very sad. But when you hear how he passed away and what she believes he clung onto before passing away, you'll cry a little.

While Jayden is serving hard time for calling mom "crazy," Aimee's friend has a bigger issue on her hands. Her young teenage daughter was caught drinking. Which led to the question... how long should you be punished for that? Her friend didn't know. Neither did Aimee. So it was time to call Uncle Google.

Aimee's hatred of grasshoppers is clinical, and after watching a grasshopper slowly perish on her porch, there's an argument to be made she's certifiable.

In a story line that is straight out of Jingle All The Way, Shawn couldn't buy a Mario doll at Universal Studios because they were all sold out. But Luigi? PLENTY Of Luigi.

Shawn's sons were a bit spooked by the raptor at Universal Studios, and were convinced they were in trouble. So he just told them... there's a dude in the suit. Should he not have?

On Aimee+Shawn, we prescribe to the simple equation FA=FO. Jayden FA'd, so he FO'd... but then he FA'd again... which PO'd Aimee to no end.

There is a community in Hollywood that would like you to believe there is no way to see the Hollywood Sign from their community. Watch as Shawn laughs at them and points out how their signs are total lies.

Shawn was out to lunch recently when his usual waitress sat down and told him a story about her stepfather passing away last week. When you hear how, and when he did, you're going to tear up.

You lived a good life. You made an obscene amount of money. You love your cats. So you do what you're supposed to and get a will, and leave your mansion to your cats so they could live out their days. Weird, but her estate right? Well... no. Not right, in Florida.

Shawn was left wondering how much jail time he would be looking at for leveling a 7 year old girl...

Aimee's friend was in a predicament. She caught her young teen daughter drinking with older friends. She knew she had to be punished... but for how long? Well... you know who would know...?

Aimee was getting her nails done and she overheard a woman bragging about her internet boyfriend who she had been helping through some hard financial times. Sure, she's never met him or had a video chat with him... but she's in love. Aimee's convinced this woman is getting catfished.

The Titanic submarine met a terrible end this week... and they were warned by several professionals that the ship was not safe for deep sea diving. But they carried on anyways.
