History
The brewery had a capacity of 2,200 bbl per year.
At one point, Harry Caray, the announcer of the Chicago Cubs who was known for his saying "Holy cow!" during broadcasts, visited the Holy Cow Casino and Brewery and autographed a wall of the club with his signature saying.
The operation closed on March 22, 2002.
In 2004, plans were announced to replace the Holy Cow with a $700 million, 940-foot condominium tower called the Summit.
In 2005, Ivana Trump became associated with the high-rise project, which was renamed as Ivana Las Vegas. Trump added pink awnings to the Holy Cow building when it was reopened as a temporary sales office for Ivana Las Vegas, which was ultimately cancelled.
The building was demolished in late April 2012.
In 2014, construction began on a two-story Walgreens store on the former property of the Holy Cow.
