Some may consider beer a less sophisticated beverage than wine, but on the Central Coast, privately-owned breweries are an alternative to the plentiful wineries.
Central Coast Brewing (CCB) on Monterey Street has created a reputation for its premier brewing facilities and variety of hand-crafted microbrews and signature ales, including its most popular flavor: chai, said CCB’s Head Brewer Jeff Sorenson.
Wearing a black apron in her brand new kitchen, Ashleigh Hutchison quickly sliced juicy red-orange peaches before placing them on a platter filled with fresh red raspberries and a goat cheese log rolled in toasted almonds.

Racers zipped between cones with precision accuracy at the 2008 U.S. National Slalom Skateboarding Championships in Morro Bay last weekend.
At one point, a racer neared the finish and plowed through the remaining cones to beat his opponent. Fortunately for him, hitting cones did not count against him.
