The Right Brew

W

hat a fun issue we have this month! Coffee and beer here - two of my favorites. We hope you enjoy our round-up on some of the best spots to get your daily buzz - coffee is so much more than a drink...it's a connection. Meeting an old friend, celebrating family, a new client that could be growth for your business or just a moment of zen to start your day.

It has been a long anticipated opening - Viewpoint Brewing brings Good Beer to Del Mar starting this summer and we take an in-depth look at this amazing space. Food, fun and local beer...welcome to Del Mar! My family and I have already been to Viewpoint many times and we love the atmosphere, the beer and the food. I recommend you try the wings with the rub.

One of my absolute favorite places to grab a cocktail after a long day is L'Auberge Del Mar. The ambiance, the staff and the view are all world-class. The amazing bar staff shared with us some of their cocktail recipes from their ever-rotating cocktail menu.

Finally - the countdown clocks are getting closer to 00:00:00 for the highly anticipated Breeders' Cup World Championships. We welcome this event next month but all monthlong, people and the town will be gearing up. The week prior to the races is the Breeders' Cup Festival with many events taking place throughout town and at the special event space called the Barn at the Beach which will be constructed at Powerhouse Park. This is an exciting time, Del Mar! See you around town,

Proven Healthy...

Made Fresh Daily in Del Mar

Photography by Dogma Pet Portraits

In a world where pet food can include any number of ingredients that would not only turn your stomach... but might well turn your dog’s, we bring you the only brand of pet food with wide open kitchens, USDA certified ingredients, veterinary trained Consultants, and a level of transparency never before seen in the pet food business.

hundreds of veterinarians in the greater LA area routinely recommend our food for their patients. We offer seven daily diets, a line of prescription food for sick dogs, and a custom formulation service for pets with Special needs.

We started JustFoodForDogs seven years ago and in the process invented the fastest growing segment of the pet food industry - fresh whole food diets. These diets are made with ingredients certified by the USDA for human consumption but are nutritionally balanced for pets. Our 8 staff veterinarians have been specifically trained in canine and feline nutrition and they work to ensure the recipes are the very best they can be.

Have questions?

Our veterinarian trained Consultants are quite simply the best. They can help you and or your vet decide which products are right for you.

In September we opened our 10th location right here in Del Mar - adjacent to Starbucks in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. We invite you to come by and tour something you have likely never seen before - chopping, grinding, cooking and packaging of restaurant grade ingredients... all for your pets!

We are pleased to state that our diets have been proven healthy through a year long, university conducted study.

Such research is extremely rare and we are very proud of the way our products performed. Perhaps this is why

harles Koll moved to Del Mar when he was 5-years-old. After short stints in Colorado and San Francisco, he discovered his passion — pairing seasonal food with craft beer. He soon realized he could share this passion with others, so he returned to his adopted hometown.

And thus, Viewpoint Brewing Co. was born, becoming Del Mar’s first craft brewery.

Viewpoint opened this July; its beginnings are fairly straightforward. “I really didn't think about much except wanting to make good beer and food and create a great space to do those things in,” says Koll. Offering something new to an area can be risky, but Koll’s relationship with locals allowed him to see that it was a welcome addition. “The community supported me throughout the process of opening and still continue to, and I'm pretty lucky for it.”

And he doesn’t do it alone.

BETTER BUZZ

OCTOBER 18 – NOVEMBER 12 Directed by Richard Baird John Steinbeck’s classic drama novella‑turned play OF MICE AND MEN electrified audiences in 1937. The story of George and Lenny remains just as relevant and continues to be part of our country’s collective imagination — a tale of friendship that is sustained by illusory dreams. This is must‑see theatre you cannot afford to miss.

HIGHWAY 101, ENCINITAS

They believe that 'Life is Better Buzzed' and are committed to sourcing CCOF certified organic and sustainable coffee as sourced through the Fair-Trade and Rainforest Alliance, roasting their beans locally. But don’t let all that seriousness fool you, they offer a fun atmosphere with friendly service and have an enviable, rotating menu of exciting drinks beyond your standard cup of joe.

john denver tribute NOVEMBER 6 & 7 @ 7:30PM

The music of the late John Denver (“Rocky Mountain High,” “Sunshine,” “Calypso” and “Annie’s Song”) is like an old friend, outlasting trends and standing the test of time. Join acclaimed performer Jim Curry for this tribute to the music of one of the most beloved singer/songwriters ever to grace the stage.

Starring Jim Curry, he will be joined by his wife, Anne Curry (vocals, guitar and mandolin) Diane Ireland (flutes) and Chris Wills (vocals, keyboard).

A tiny, one-person shack with a heart of gold, known as much for their acai bowls as their coffee. Perfect for a walk-up or drive through on the way to the office since seating is limited, but their coffee is strong

“We had a great experience with this firm while my Mom was recovering from a stroke and dealing with memory loss. Mom came to stay with us for a few weeks and we needed help... Visiting Angels sent Courtney who was patient, kind and so willing to go the extra mile. She even took my Mom shoe shopping. Courtney made that time manageable for our family and pleasant for Mom. We feel blessed to have known her.”
