Dragon's Tale Brewing Review

I have reviewed a lot of breweries. And wineries.  And distilleries.  In fact, you would not be at fault if based upon those many reviews, you thought I had a drinking problem.  I don't.  I just appreciate the craft.  You can read all of my reviews here.  Today, I would like to tell you about a new one...

J. Riley Review

It's been a long time since I first visited J. Riley distillery and for some dumb reason, I never shared with you fine folks my thoughts on this local whiskey distillery.  Today, that's all going to change.

3 New Breweries to Review

Hey gang, I have been letting these blog posts pile up without actually typing them out and hitting publish.

As an apology, I offer a review of 3 breweries today!  You can check out all of my other brewery reviews here.

Oak Hills Brewing Company

I have reviewed many breweries and you can read about them here.  Today though, I want to touch on a brewery that I have long wanted to visit.  That place is Oak Hills. Why did it take so long?  Because they have the most bass-ackwards hours of any craft brewery...

Joseph Filippi Winery

On St. Patrick's Day, 2017, we experienced some new places.  One of those places was Joseph Filippi Winery.  Now, I have reviewed many wineries and you can read about them here.  Today though, I want to touch on Joseph Filippi.

Strum Brewing Company

On St. Patrick's Day, 2017, we experienced some new places.  One of those places was Strum Brewing Company in Ontario, CA.  Now, I have reviewed many breweries and you can read about them here.  Today though, I want to touch on Strum.

Father's Day

Hey all!  I know what you're thinking.

"Why is he posting this the day after Father's Day?"

Because, I wanted to post AFTER we spent the day doing what we did so I could show you photos and such.

Make sense?

Good!

Rowdy's Brewing Company

On St. Patrick's Day, 2017, we experienced some new places.  One of those places was Rowdy's Brewing Company in Ontario, CA.  Now, I have reviewed many breweries and you can read about them here.  Today though, I want to touch on Rowdy's.

Mother's Day

Hey all!  I know what you're thinking.

"Why is he posting this the day after Mother's Day?"

Because, I wanted to post AFTER we spent the day doing what we did so I could show you photos and such.

Make sense?

Good!

Arrow Lodge Brewing Company Review

We recently spent a lovely day with my parents (and boys for a portion of the day).  It started with a delicious meal at the fantastic Clearman's North Woods Inn in Covina.  I could review it here, but this post isn't about them.  We also visited Alosta Brewing Company and Rev Winery, both of which I have reviewed previously. You can read about the many wineries and breweries we visit and have reviewed by clicking here. (NEW WINDOW)  Today, I want to tell you about a new place we visited in Covina...

Sanctum Brewing Company Review

Here I am finally visiting a brewery to review it.  They've been around for awhile and I never made the trip until they popped up in Groupon.  You can read about the many wineries and breweries we visit and have reviewed by clicking here. (NEW WINDOW)  Today, I want to tell you about a great little place in Pomona...

Euryale Brewing Company Review

It feels weird to be writing about a "new" brewery a year after they opened, but I had no idea they existed until they popped up in Groupon.  You can read about the many wineries and breweries we visit and have reviewed by clicking here. (NEW WINDOW)  Today, I want to tell you about a great little place in Riverside...

Rev Winery and Rev Brewing Company

I wrote another post specifically about winery reviews IN Temecula.  You can read about those here.  (NEW WINDOW)  I have also reviewed wineries and breweries in Hawaii which can be viewed here.  (NEW WINDOW)  You can read about other breweries in California here (NEW WINDOW) and other wineries I have been to around California and Mexico here. (NEW WINDOW)

Brewery Reviews

I have been to quite a number of breweries.  A shocking amount, actually.  Beer is a great drink when it is made with love.  This post won't include breweries located in Hawaii because I already wrote about those here.  (NEW WINDOW)  I will continue to research beer for you, my readers.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Winery Reviews

I wrote another post specifically about winery reviews IN Temecula.  You can read about those here.  (NEW WINDOW)  I have also reviewed wineries in Hawaii which can be viewed here.  (NEW WINDOW)  This post is about other wineries I have been to around California and Mexico.

Wineries in Temecula

I enjoy drinking.  That's not to say I am an alcoholic and please understand, alcoholism is no joke, but I do enjoy drinking.  I also enjoy visiting places where those drinks are made.  This post is not so much about the drink alone as it is about the entire experience of the location.  Please remember to support local as often as possible.  It really does taste better.  I will update this post when I visit additional locations.

Our Home Bar Favorites

For anybody that has been to our home, you know full well that we like our drink.  We're not alcoholics.  We just enjoy the occasional large beverage with dinner on a day ending in "Y".  We enjoy everything from wine to craft beer to a margarita to bourbon on the rocks.  We regularly try new brands and flavors and concoctions but, like most, we have our favorites.

An Evening at Mount Palomar Winery

As many of you know, Alyssa and I are members at a couple of Temecula Wineries.  We regularly make the hour drive to Temecula to experience new wineries.  It's a little odd to be writing on this subject, as not that long ago, I hated wine.  As I mention in another post, Maui Winery is responsible for opening my palate up and making this article possible.  At any rate, we have been to a small percentage of wineries in Temecula; perhaps 10-12 by my count of the 50+ in the Temecula Wine Country.  We have aspirations to see them all, eventually, and I am sure I'll write another post about other wineries at a later date...

Breweries, Distilleries, and Wineries in Hawaii

Hey all!  Here's a little bonus post for your weekend!  I love Hawaii and I love drinking.  Putting these two things together is like heaven on Earth.  I have personally visited each location mentioned here.  I would never recommend a product that I don't personally love.  None of these locations are paying me to write about them. (but if they'd like to...I'm just saying.)  These truly are some of my favorite drinks in all the world and they just happen to be made in my favorite place.
