Not too much going on out there I'll admit, but I'm tellin'
ya, Main Street in Corona is NOT A BAD PLACE.

Riverside Brewing Co. used to be worth the trip, and we still
stop there on the way back from infrequent trips to Arizona.
Not sure what happened to these folks, but the result is
pretty sad, especially given their early success. How you
screw something like this up in a UC town with ~22k
students... It's no Prescott Brewing Co., but it generally
comes up at about the right time in the drive for us.

PH Woods in Moreno Valley doesn't suck if you can get past
the off-the-rack Clam Jumper/Chilis decor.

I've heard good things about the Falconer in Redlands, though
I've never been.

So why are you posting?

Blah.

Actually, I wish Blake would tell us what he's after. If
he's a brewpub bagger, Long Beach would not be a bad place to
drive to from Ontario. In geographic order coming in from
the 71 to 91: Main Street, BJ's, BBC, Rock Bottom, San Pedro
Brewing Co., Red Car, Redondo Beach BC, Manhattan Beach BC,
cheapest local hotel possible.

If he's looking for West Coast beers, I'd have him stay away
from Lucky Baldwin's and strongly suggest Naja's.

Etc.

So you're home today. And we're not at Cafe Boogaloo 'cause
why?
