In Mint Condition (Las Vegas, NV) – One of Las Vegas’ most popular brewers CraftHaus Brewery has been named the official craft beer of the nation’s most important off-road racing event, the Mint 400, which has been taking place in Sin City’s brutal foothills since 1968.
The oldest and most prestigious off-road race in America, a legendary event that draws almost 65,000 off-road enthusiasts from all around the world annually, to watch 500 race teams from 25 different states and 15 different countries compete, the Mint 400 is two days of grueling off-road racing on a desolate and punishing 400-mile racecourse.
Beer is a part of the DNA of off-road culture,” said Mint 400 CEO, Matt Martelli “We are excited to partner with local Las Vegas brewery CraftHaus as our Official Craft Beer of The Mint 400.”
“This new partnership is a true reflection of the long race history in our town that now has a taste of local, craft beer,” says Crafthaus owner Wyndee Forrest. “We are honored to collaborate with The Mint 400 team and bring race fans authentic, quality craft beer.”
