Goldwater Brewing

Goldwater Brewing Co. was initially launched due to the passion, experience, and skill Greg brought to the table. Later on, his sons, Chad and Dillon, and Jimmy joined forces and their unique talents, such as commercial brewing experience, marketing and branding, and restaurant management knowledge, respectively, to restore the craft beer scene in Arizona. Now they have two taprooms and distribute to over 100+ restaurants and bars.

We recommend their Hop Chowda IPA. It has nice floral notes where orange and tangerine are prominent. The taste is similar and has an added touch of malt, flaked oats, and wheat.

Fate Brewing

Steve McFate built the Fate Brewing Company in 2012 to be the place where the community can gather to celebrate special events. What started from a small brewhouse turned into a 15-barrel system and a larger location. The brewery brews beers in small batches and rotates them to ensure they are fresh. It also has an extensive food menu to pair up with fantastic drinks.

Try its Candy Bar Milk Stout. It’s sweet and smells like chocolate-covered nuts and hints of vanilla, and the taste is similar.

OHSO Brewery

If you are looking for a unique venue for your next event, we suggest the OHSO Brewery and Distillery. It serves great food with local craft beer and spirits and has ample space to host parties and events. It is a family and dog-friendly hot spot where you can try the 40+ beers on tap and house cocktails with finger-licking food.

Try its American-style ale, the 89Ale. It is a malt-forward beer with a rustic and earthy profile with notes of caramel and toffee. Pair it up with their Hawaiian-style pork tuna, called Tuna Stack.

State 48 Lager House

The State 48 Lager House has multiple locations situated across Arizona. The largest brewing system in Scottsdale, Az, has a 20 barrel-system and 1140-barrel fermenters. The brewhouse also has a full-service restaurant, a huge dining patio, and a second-level patio with breathtaking views. You can also enjoy brewery tours at all hours.

Try their Blood Orange Belgian Blonde, which is loaded with blood orange and has a native citrus flavor. Pair it up with their Reuben. It has the perfect ratio of sauce and meat and is delicious.
