Tenaya Creek Brewery – Las Vegas

In a free standing building just off Las Vegas Blvd in a  seedy part of town, they brew a wide variety of beers and host some other local brews as well.  We drank the Hefeweizen American Wheat.  A great beer.  Offering food trucks and a great variety of music, this brewery is one of only a handfull in Las Vegas.

 

Last Name Brewery – Upland, CA

They got there name by submitting so many names to county and they were all taken so they went back with one more and said this is the last name we are submitting and well they ended up with “Last Name” Brewery.  True brewery that makes beer on site in an industrial location.  Great idea on able tops made from barrels.  About 30 beers on tap. We drank the Cream Ale and the Lunch Pale Ale both very good.

 

Kings Brewing Company – Rancho Cucamonga, CA

This brewery has a hip hop vibe with graffiti decor and rap music. Offering over two dozen beers, this tasting room helps the novice drinker choose their beers by listing them on monitors catigorized by lighter, darker, east coast and west coast. We had the Elote cream ale and the Dirty Harry pale ale both of course were delicious.

 

Escape Craft Brewery – Redlands, CA

My new favorite place and saying “we travel not to escape life but for life not to escape us”.  This place is cool – they have it all based on traveling.  Suit cases and vintage airplanes seats along with trains on a moving track.  We are enjoying the Staycation Pale Ale and the Czech Out My Pils.

 

3 Iron Brewery – Colton, CA

Golf based brewery named after the famous three iron shot by Bobby Jones in the 1923 US Open. It’s a small setting with lots of mismatched furniture. The brewery itself is meager in size but they offer over 10 different brews. We drank the Hackers Honey Wheat and Ball Striking Blond which both were delicious.   They also have snacks and live music.

 

Ritual Brewing – Redlands, CA

In an industial park with lots of games.  They were referred from other breweries so they are definitely well known.  The seating is beer garden style and they have corn hole & Jenga game.   Lots to keep you occupied while enjoying good beer.  We had the pale ale and the honey blond which were both very good but known for there fat hog beer which was just ok as a sample for us.

Hanger 24 Craft Brewery – Redlands, CA

Very upbeat fun place.  They brew lots of beer on site.  A real tap room located inside a full blown operating brewery located next door to Redlands Airport (hence, Hangar 24).  They have 30 plus beers on draft. We had the  XB-1 and Redlands Red.
