5 Must-See Phoenix Breweries for Craft Beer Enthusiasts

The greater Phoenix area is a wonderland for craft beer enthusiasts. With several high quality breweries within city limits and even more great brews within easy driving distance, Phoenix has several must-see spots for great beer.

Check out some of Phoenix’s favorite breweries, and plan a visit using the interactive map at the end of the post.

Old World Brewery

You can tell that beer is Old World’s business when you step into their no-nonsense brewery off Interstate 17. The brewery is open 11am-7pm Monday through Saturday, and visitors can enjoy full pints of any Old World brew, fill up a growler, or sample a tasting flight.

As of 06/09/2014, Old World Brewery is offering a great deal through Yelp that allows visitors to pay just $12 for a $25 brewery voucher. Check out there deal here, and visit the Old World website at http://oldworldbrewery.com/.

Four Peaks Brewing Company

Four Peaks actually has four locations in the Phoenix area – two full-service pubs (one in Tempe, the other in Scottsdale), a brewery tasting room, and a miniature pub in the Sky Harbor International Airport.

With so many locations, you’ll have no trouble getting to taste Four Peaks’ legendary oatmeal stout. Learn more about their brews at http://www.fourpeaks.com/.

Papago Brewing

If variety is your priority (and if you don’t think of yourself as an indecisive person), Papago Brewing is the place to be. With a 30-tap bar that rotates daily and a brewery restaurant with a full menu, Papago is must-see for beer enthusiasts and foodies alike.

Fate Brewing Company

The Fate Brewery has one major advantage over all the others on the list: pizza. Aside from an array of micro brewed beers, the Fate tasting room serves top-notch wood-fired pizzas. Craft beer and artisan pizza – is there a better combination than that?

A short drive from downtown Phoenix in Gilbert, Arizona Wilderness Brewing is definitely worth the drive. As Gilbert’s first brewery, Arizona Wilderness is going strong producing craft beer brewed with care.
