going to be in the Scottsdale / Peoria area this week. any local breweries that i should head to or look for on the shelves. what is good store to stop by to buy beer?
There a couple of recent threads about this topic- nonetheless I'd recommend making the trip to Gilbert to AZ Wilderness. For Scottsdale, I'd recommend Fate and Papago.
AZ Wilderness is definitely worth a stop. Also in the area is San Tan in Chandler, Four Peaks in Tempe, the lesser known Huss Brewing is also in Tempe. Desert Eagle in Mesa, and Sun Up in Phoenix.
Forget Peoria, no breweries out there yet worth mentioning and Peoria Artisinal Brewing isn't even in Peoria, it's in Litchfield Park. As pointed out there have been numerous threads recently on Scottsdale already but Fate, Papago and Four Peaks are all great destinations in Scottsdale.
