Boulder Creek Brewery – Brewmaster

We have some really fine beer made right here in downtown Boulder Creek. Pictured is Michael Demers, the Brewmaster at Boulder Creek Brewery. An SLV native, Michael has been brewing for over 14 years.

The Brewery has good food, killer beer and live bluegrass/mountain tunes on Thursdays and Sundays . . .

The Boulder Creek Rye Pale Ale is a personal recommendation.

Steven Griswold and his California Convoy – Joe’s Bar

Joe’s Bar is really getting some great acts these days. If you haven’t been there lately, we highly recommend checking it out – especially on Saturday nights.

Here are some pictures from last weeks Steven Griswold and his California Convoy show.

He had a guest guitarist from Great American Taxi – who was SMOKIN! Here he is playing his black Telecaster.
