El Paso
|
 |
 |
|
The Sunset Brewery, a new brewpub located in an old Burger
King in El Paso. We watched the first half of the 2003 NCAA men's
basketball tournamet final here. |
We watched the second half of the NCAA tournament final at
another El Paso restaurant/pub called Jaxon's. Above is the four-scoop
brownie sundae, and this is the before picture. |

This is the after picture of that brownie sundae. |
And this is the s**t-eating grin on the guy who ate it. |
Las Cruces
High Desert Brewing Company
 |
 |
 |
The High Desert Brewing Company is about our
favorite place in Las Cruces. It's a small brewpub located at the edge
of a residential area operated by a guy who wants only to spend his life
making beer and figured out a way to make enough money at it so that he
wouldn't have to do anything else. It's small, with a small, outdoor
seating area, there is music several nights a week, the people are very
friendly, and the beer is always fresh and tasty. In the photo above,
Andy, Darin, Mark, and Travis enjoy a round on the first night in Las
Cruces. At left, Dan and Darin stop by for a quick lunch during the
week. |

Scoopy's
|
 |
|
We've been here many times, and I'm sure we'll go as
long as it continues to stand. There's nothing like fresh custard
from Scoopy's |
La Posta
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
|
 |
|
Figuring that a city in the southwestern U.S. ought to
boast any number of good Mexican restaurants, we asked the desk clerk at our
hotel for a recommendation. She suggested La Posta, which is located
in the Old Mesilla historic area just outside Las Cruces. |
Flagstaff Brewpubs
|
 |
 |
|
The Mogollon (pronounced "MUG-ee-un") Brewing Company is
one of three brewpubs located within about a three block area in the
downtown shopping area of Flagstaff. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
The Flagstaff Brewing Company was the least restuarant-like
and the most rowdy bar-like of the three brewpubs. |
|
 |
|
That's not frozen foam on the outside of those two
glasses. We had just bought souvenir pint glasses with the brewery
logo on them. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
The Beaver Street Brewery was where we all ate dinner on
our last night in the southwest. It was excellent. |
