greenhorn Also, their limits are confusing. Tailored more towards hoarders to maybe drive the trading market? Potentially only 83 people with something that many, many more are ISO?

Thread delivers. Are there really only ~3 breweries worth hitting out of the 20+ in the area?

 

[henrythehippo]

Yes? Tombstone is really good but you have to find them on draft somewhere...Kings usually has some but it's a growler/crowler fill station. What part of town are you going to be in?

 

[henrythehippo]

Pueblo Vida is also great but they're basically in Mexico . greenhorn can confirm

Layover 12-8pm on a Monday (6/5). Wren House and great food places are on the agenda +/- other good breweries, beer/cocktail bars, cool Phoenix things to check out in a short time.

Food preferences?

 

[CharlieMurphy1]

Food preferences?

Bakeries/brunch, BBQ, authentic (or not) Mexican is fine if it's really standout, whatever's regionally proficient, out there ****. No restrictions.

Little Miss BBQ

 

[henrythehippo]

Noble is great too and not far from Wren + Wondering Tortoise. Little Miss is a must stop though if you like BBQ

Confirmed. I really like their beer, I wish we got kegs up in Phoenix.

I'd recommend Wandering Tortoise as an awesome beer bar just down the street from Wren. Have a to-go cooler as well.

It would certainly be easier to stay in the general area of Wren/Tortoise, more or less Central Phx. Helton, Helio Basin, Mother Bunch, Sun Up, and the new Huss Uptown taproom (breweries), Angels Trumpet (beer bar), and the previously mentioned Kings Convenience are all nearby. Out of all of those, I'd suggest Huss (was really impressed with their small bites/charcuterie), Angels Trumpet, and a stop by Kings. If you make it out of that bubble, I'd also recommend McFate (I greatly prefer the North location) and Scottsdale Beer Company (right down the street from McFate North.) Arizona Wilderness is of course popular but that is a bit of a drive into Gilbert.

 

[greenhorn1]

There's no Tucson thread and not sure how many T-locs we have around here, so I'll just post this here...

I can't say enough about Pueblo Vida, they are absolutely crushing the IPA game in AZ. They just released a new recipe of Monswoon in cans and it's stellar. Rivals most of what I've had from Trill and I just don't throw compliments like that around.

Will continue to post here, whether or not anyone is reading.

This sounds heavenly.

Did this make it out of Phoenix? I'll be in Flagstaff in a couple weeks and was curious.

I know it been tapped around town, and in Tucson as well. Not sure about Flag. If you happen to make it down to Phx I have a can for you.

Were these released? A buddy in the area is sending me a Wren House bottle and I can't figure out what it is... ha

He sent me a pic of the bottles that he was getting ready to box up and I can only see a really small portion of the label.

 

[preluderl]

greenhorn any idea what the circled bottle is? He said it was some society release from Wren House. I just don't know anything about them. Excited to try that Peaches & Cream IPA doe.

Maple Peak has not been released yet but should be imminent.

The bottle above looks like Midnight Lady, blend of 2016/2017 Who Hit John rested on vanilla beans. Just had it on Saturday, it's roasty deliciousness.

Don't mind the incorrect beer in my glass, my drunk arse thought it would be funny to take #properglassware pic like that.

Exactly where I ended up. Thanks!

Eta: there's a dude here who looks like Dale Earnhardt Sr. wearing a "jagoff" t-shirt. Must be going to Pittsburgh.

 

[SDBeerInsider]

came in from San Diego to spend the holiday weekend with the family in Scottsdale.... any tips on AZ beer releases or breweries to hit up... i hit up Wren House last year and might go again (at least on the way back west on Sunday). i have had good times at AZ Wilderness (near my old house) too....

is Tombstone available anywhere? worth seeking out?

 

[pugsandsuds]

In Scottsdale, go to McFate Brewing (decent enough, not world changing) and if you’re in old town, head over to Papago (local institution, only open another week or so). Keep an eye out for Mother Road beer too (tower station specifically). Enjoy, my folks just arrived from Phoenix a couple hours ago!

 

[SDBeerInsider]

Aren’t u supposed to be in the SD thread

Isn’t McFate a re-brand of Fate? If so, I’ve been there before and like there beers... sad about Papago, that place has been an institution here forever (I was in grad school at ASU from ‘00-‘06)... back then, the main hangs were (early) 4Peaks, Papago, Casey Moore’s, RulaBula.

Good to know about Mother Road, I’ll keep an eye out.

I may just grind the 30min drive and grab a bunch of crowlers at Wren House for the weekend....
