I'm planning a trip to Las Vegas, Phoenix, and possibly a 3rd destination. I'll be there for 10 days. I'd like to make a few beer-related stops. Any good brewpubs or beer stores I should visit?
Thanks. I'll check a few of these out. I'm also hoping to pick up some hard to find west coast beers while I'm there. Any good beer stores that might stock some interesting stuff?
Yes, we get most West Coast brewey's beers. Russian River and Alpine are the only two popular ones we don't get.
Total Wine and Bevmo are the big-box liquor stores. Tops and Sun Devil liquor are the smaller family owned ones that have great selection. Firestone Walker Union jack and Double Jack. If you haven't had them, buy them.
I'm not sure what you don't get in your area, but Green Flash, Lost Abbey, Port, Moylan's, and Bear Republic are all fantastic.
Actually Union Jack is one I 'm hoping to get. I can get Double Jack around here, but not Union Jack for some reason. I had some on tap in NYC and thought it was fantastic.
There's a number of good breweries in Flagstaff, which is on the way to the grand canyon. Lumberyard (and their sister brewery Beaver St.). Mother Road is new and pretty tasty as well.
PS, the pizza at beaver st. is really tasty.
I second the lumberyard recommendation and you should drive down oak creek canyon to Sedona and hit oak creek brew co. Their nut brown is amazing.
My schedule is pretty flexible. Any advice for this time of year? Sedona vs the Grand Canyon - which is the better option? Never been to either.
I have me wife with me, who generally prefers being 'comfortable'. She not really an outdoorsy type. Give her a choice and she'll take a cushy resort. I'd rather climb some old ruins.
Skip Phoenix. Went there for an anniversary on a "hey, it's cheap and we've never been there before" wild hare and tried to plan as best we could. Were tremendously bored for the entire weekend.
I'm commited to Phoenix for a few days since I'm visiting my parents. I've been there before, but never for more than a couple of days.
