This past summer I reported on the opening of Rebellion Pizza and commended its owners, pizza business veterans Ricky Lewis and Ryan Perras, for having a canned beer list comprised 100% of beers from Southern Nevada breweries, and possibly the only establishment other than brewpubs doing so.
Now the thriving business has added a draft line system, which also honors our local breweries with 100% of the taps pouring local beer. I stopped in after the draft lineup launched and found the eight taps pouring Able Baker Honey Dip Imperial Stout, Bad Beat Bluffing Isn’t Weiss Bavarian Hefeweizen, Big Dog’s Craft Lager, CraftHaus Hop Vegas WCIPA and Giggle Juice Imperial IPA, Lovelady 9th Island Pineapple Sour and Love Juice Hazy IPA and Tenaya Creek God of Thunder Baltic Porter.
In addition to the new draft offerings, the canned beer list has been expanded, offering 26 more Southern Nevada beers to choose from, qualifying Rebellion as one-stop shopping for local beer. Ricky says the response to their local beer support has been extremely positive and they have numerous regular customers.
It’s certainly worth a visit for the stellar local beer selection, but Rebellion Pizza also is arguably one of the best pizzerias specializing in NY-style and Sicilian pies in Southern Nevada. It’s located in the Anthem Village Center in Henderson and is open Tue-Sat 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

You can choose to participate in just the beer mile relay, just the beer festival or both. The mile relay will have teams of four each running a ¼ mile and drinking a beer (or root beer for underage runners and nonbeer drinkers).
