I will be in the phoenix area for presidents weekend. Looking to pick up some founders brews. Anyone have a good place i can check out for their beers or Left hand? Thank you in advance!
Phoenix is a big area. Without more specifics as to where you will be I'd say in this order since you can drink on site or get to go: Papago Brewing in Scottsdale, Tops Liquor in Tempe, Whole Foods in North Scottsdale, Chandler or Phoenix on 20th St, Sun Devil Liquor in Mesa. They all have Founders and Left Hand often on draft but always in bottles.
Cool. Thanks ill be staying at the orange tree resort. Looking forward to it since it is beer week. Any recommendations on places to play golf for a reasonable price? Also do you guys get any brooklyn beers or anything from sweetwater.
Use the phone app TapHunter and you'll see most beer bars' taplists. You can also use the follow/wish functions on TapHunter and it will tell you when places add a Founders beer on draft. Orange Tree (assuming resort on 56th st.) is super close to Total Wine on Scottsdale Rd., South of Shea, and is close to a local liquor store called Cellars Fine Wine & Spirits on Shea & 32nd street. They have most Founders bottles and Founders growlers on occasion too. I find Founders Centennial IPA on tap a lot at Mellow Street up on High street in north phoenix, maybe 10-12 mins from Orange Tree.
If you want golf at a reasonable price come back in the summer. That said I would stick with the municipal courses if you are looking for cheap. Continental and Stone Creek in Scottsdale and Encanto in Phoenix aren't very expensive but you get what you pay for. One of my personal favorites is Karsten at ASU, followed by Gold Canyon in Apache Junction or Grayhawk in Scottsdale, the desert course at TPC is also good.
