THUNDER CANYON BREWERY
East side of The Foothills Mall
La Cholla and Ina Roads

FANTASTIC BREWS (my favorite is their IPA)

Good Luck!

I like this one, too. It's far from where I live, but if I happen to be in Foothills Mall it's a nice place to take a break. Haven't been there recently, but hopefully their patio is still smoking.

P.S. Grow some backbone, Bummer, pretty puleeeze!

LOL . . . never been accused of a "backbone" problem but I don't want to "rock the boat" by breaking rules!

Hmm... that sentence is an oxymoron in my book , but anyway... I'm not gonna continue... not here.

I think "It's a Grind" is worth a try to you as well as "Cutters Point". I drink strong coffee from an espresso machine most the time at home, with no sugar but I do like a good cappuccino(this bit of worthless information is so you understand me as a coffee drinker). I like "it's a grind" and I think there is one now on oracle near oro valley.

As for beer(mmmmm beer) Thunder Canyon is great. They can give you a set of samplers that come in double shot glasses. Nimbus is a long way from you but the beer is great and CHEAP. Last time I went was during happy hour and it worked out to about $1 a pint! Their food eh not worth the drive.

I forgot about Nimbus, Haaamean.

The beer is almost as good as Thunder Canyon's but I rarely go there because of the distance and the food.

Overall, Thunder Canyon cannot be beat.

We just moved here from Oregon. We love the Coffee Vein on Stone & Drachman. Very good!!

Yeah by the time you got to Nimbus from Oro Valley you'd be ready to drink- A LOT!

I know there was a new brewery opening in the warehouse area south of downtown near to where 17th st market is, but I haven't heard from anyone that's been.

Good point, Haaamean . . . ANY beer would taste great by then, maybe even the worst food.

Don't quote me but I remember reading the Nimbus branch office was having "technical difficulties" with the guys in charge.

Coffee Exchange is a great coffeehouse. They have a shop near Grant and Campbell in Tucson.

There is also a great new coffeehouse across the street from the U of A on Park near University, next to Jamba Juice.
