    Hello! I’m an AZ native and feel like I know most of the spots to find great craft beer. However, I’m starting to see a slight divide. There are a growing number of excellent craft beer bars (wandering, sleepy, beer barn, etc.) and brewpubs (OHSO, AZ Wilderness, etc.), but not many restaurants these days carry a good craft beer list.

    My question to this group is: what are some of your favorite AZ restaurants that offer a great craft beer selection that aren’t brewpubs or craft beer bars that bring in food trucks?

    I have limited Phoenix experience, but Lovecraft has great food and a great curated beer list.

    A lot of good trendy restaurants in the Phoenix area carry some stuff from Wren House - I know Vecina & Buck Rider carry Wren House Lagers, Pills, & Spellbinder IPA. Most of the restaurants are going to have a couple options from Breweries like Fate, Huss & The Shop. I see stuff from The Shop ( mostly Church music & crispy) at almost every restaurant in Phoenix. If they sell it at Fry's grocery store in the craft section then they will most likely have it at a restaurant.
