Winding down another exhausting beer & baseball trip with the unusual suspects. Orange County, San Diego, & now the greater Phoenix area. We fly back tomorrow but have just one more in us yet tonight. Navigated around questionably as we do, but found our mark and parked. Just a place on the strip. “Do we know where what is? No, I’m sorry, we’re not from here”, guy out front delivering a pizza. Mesa be around here somewhere…
Deep narrowish place. Off to the right, an ‘L’ shaped wood slat topped bar with a lip, steel panel base, & a squared foot bar. Seating for 11 on black leather chairs. 16 taps across a bunch of upright cylinders on kegerators behind the bar; a pair of 3’s along the stretch, a pair of 2’s to the front of the bar, a pair of 2’s along the barback, and a single 2 in the corner. Glassware lined atop the forward one, and on the wood barback counter along with a 4 tap wine cooler. Large wood framed board on the barback wall with horizontal slat boards hooked in 2 rows of 8 listing draft selections (beer, style, ABV, & IBU). Wine, cider, seltzer, & snacks on small vertical boards to both sides, and local events & beer-it-forward boards on the end. Flatscreens in the corners and a movie show of sorts around things here.
Black concrete floors and an arched ceiling done white canvas on wood rafters with ducts & a few spins, and a lower corrugated piece over the bar. Track spots on the boards, drop pear bulbs filament bulbs tracing the bar, and wide pan lamps over the adjacent seating. Front windows over Mesa, and gray & white walls. “BREWERY >>>” painted on the far wall in GIANT block letters pointing (to the brewery) to the rear of the space, and a ‘Fresh Beer Here’ sign over the doorway to the brewery (just in case you still couldn’t find it). 6 block tables adjacent to the bar high and one low, a single large table up front, and a handful more out front in a small sidewalk seating area.
Merch display shirts & hats over 2 more boards listing canned items and a shelf with snacks, cans, water, etc. Oro logo piece in the rear corner, logo prints & framed drawings, can cooler to the rear, and card games in the front window ledge. AZ Brewers Guild & Beer Association Independent Craft tins, and framed AZ Craft Beer & World Beer Cup awards forward the bar.
16 beers up, and I got into a good few of them, I did (All or Nothing, Double Black IPA, 8.5%, roasty, piney, citrus, dry as actual fuck, lovely; Singularity Series, Single Hop APA with Nectaron, 5.5%, tropical fruit, citrus, well done; Pilsin’ Ain’t Easy, WC Pils, 5.2%, collab with OHSO Brewery & Laughing Monk Brewing, citrus, tropical fruity, really nice; Fiddler’s Elbow, English Style Mild, 3.3%, bready, malt, fuck; I Like Big Bocks & I Cannot Lie, Helles Bock, 7%, collab wiuth B.R.I., a bit sweet but nice; Give Peat a Chance, Peat Smoked Extra Stout, 7.5%, sturdy, roasty, peaty, and where there’s smoke… it’s very good; Saison d’Oro, Farmhouse Ale, 6%, earthy, didn’t dry out as they had hoped but still not sucky, no; Trigo Suave, American Tangerine Wheat Ale, 4.9%, a little Tangeriney sour, a solid Summer beer; Oktoberfest, Marzen, 5.5%, malty nice). I don’t think there was a clunker in the bunch, but I'm going with Singularity Series Single Hop APA with Nectaron, All or Nothing Double Black IPA, Pilsin’ Ain’t Easy WC Pils, & Fiddler’s Elbow English Style Mild for the Wins!
While they do not do food here, you can bring in. We went next door to Gus’s (World Famous) Fried Chicken in pairs as not to lose our prime seating at the bar. Oh, it’s on! 3 Piece dark with beans & slaw. Hot & spicy chicken win, goddamn!
Twantender dealing tonight. Chill place, friendly folks. And the beers. They are goods. Glad we caught this as our last hurrah.

Storefront brewpub on the main drag in an entertainment area. Saturday afternoon crowd was wall to wall standing room and a packed patio. A dozen beers on tap, the IPA I had was excellent.
