Alibi Ale Works

This building in downtown Truckee on the corner of Bridge Street and Jibboom Street holds a long history dating back to the 1940’s. What was "Coffey’s Garage" has since been home to a couple of banks and a Crossfit gym. Locals are excited about the latest business taking charge of this building. Alibi Ale Works is now open with an entirely updated interior offering a comfortable gathering space. Having roots in the area, this is the second location for Alibi. Their Incline Village location has been in operation since 2014 after a Kickstarter campaign in 2012. Now, adding a special something to downtown Truckee, Alibi is serving up 22 draft beers daily, delicious food bites and live music. 

BeerThere is a constant rotation of beers on draft with 22 offerings each day. Every beer is made with 100% Lake Tahoe water. Whether it is dark, light, hoppy or sour, each one has a delicious character. I tried the nitro beer on draft that day. It was the Coconut Brown that surprisingly had a of flavors in the smooth nitro cream.
  

FoodThe specialty here is nachos. Love nachos? With 7 different varieties to choose from, be prepared for your idea of nachos to be turned upside-down. Start with the Korean nachos and finish off with the s’mores nachos! Small bites are also offered like cheese, olives and a vegetable platter.
  

MusicMusic is offered multiple nights a week with everything from mellow solo artists to high energy bands that will get the crowd out on the dance floor. I am excited to experience this new music venue myself with room to move and great bands like locals Coburn Station and Muzicka, a 16 piece folk band from Czech Republic.

Red Truck: A Great Little Lunch Spot

Red Truck: Food Truck Revolution 

The Red Truck started out as Truckee's favorite food truck.  It would be quite the game to follow the @RedTruckeTahoe twitter feed to find out where you could get those delicious bite size tacos, naan dogs or chicken takka masala bowl.  But when one found that bright red truck or saw it while cruise'n through town, you couldn't help but stop.  

Now, it's a different story for our favorite eating spot.  You can count on it every week at Truckee Thursday's in downtown Truckee in the Summer and all year round, Monday through Friday, at the Truckee Airport.  And if you're really lucky, you might run into them at a wedding or private event, a great choice for catering any event!  

My favorite has always been the bowl with falafel or chicken tikka masala but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.  The flavors are mainly based on the Indian traditions and ingredients are organic, sustainable, and fresh.  Chef Larry really does know how to make your taste buds sing.

When you go,  don't forget to add the side sauces to your dish.  The green one is my favorite and the least spicy, the red one is yummy and the yellow one will knock your socks off (go for it if you like it HOT!).  And for the sweet tooth in the family,  you have to add a cookie for desert.  They are baked in house and are amazing!  

See you at the Red Truck!
