Courtesy Coffee Shop & Cocktail Lounge – Blythe, CA

Opened in 1964, this quant piece of Blythe history is still decorated the same as when it opened and only seats about 40 people in the dining room & bar. Before the juke box, this place had live bands tucked away in the corner with a back drop of lava rock and verticle barn siding. The bartender is friendly and quick to share her stories about times long past of this iconic restaurant & bar. Serving classic dinners of steak and seafood with recently added Mexican fare, the beer is cold and the drinks are strong. Not really a brewery but definitely a mush-see while in town!

Phoenix International Raceway

This was our second stop.  We again stayed in the infield but this time there were less “party-goers” and more race team members. The party atmosphere seemed to be outside the track were the live bands and concessions were all located. The views of the track were great but the 95 degree temps were rough. But onto Fontana, CA next!

 

Las Vegas Motor Speedway

This was our first stop on the list.  We stayed in the infield for 7 days.   The people were are so friendly and fun.   The jets flew over all day so not much quiet time but thats ok because this was an amazing experience.

The Lazy Dog – Las Vegas,NV

More like a restaurant-bar than a brewery, this place claims to brew their beer “in-house” by their Executive Chef in a micro-brewery. A very rustic, clean and warm atmospere, this dog orientened popular spot allows dogs on the patio.   We had Lazy dog blonde ale and Lazy dog red ale very good.

Duckfoot Brewery- Miramar, CA

Small, new and upcoming brewery just opened a littleover a year ago.  We had the Looker Blonde Ale and the Oktoberefest Ale.  The food truck was amazing – had a crab cake sandwich and a Cuban.   Meat is very tender.  Definitely will miss this place!

Amplified – Miramar, CA

Rock & roll themed tasting room with nestalgic music artwork throughout (except for the Xena Worrior Princess poster in the restroom). Opened April 2016 and described as a rock & roll brewery, we drank the Sellout which is a light lager and Doc Marzan whick is a german lager. Both are very admiral craft beers with flavorfull starts and smooth finishes.

 

Pure Project- Miramar, CA

Rustic tasting room with organic feel.  Lots of plants & greenery on the walls and decor.  We drank the Sensi Kolsch made with rice and the Romeo and Julius cream ale made with 600 lbs of Valencia oranges.
