Breweries and Wineries in Phoenix

It was 80 long years after Prohibition’s repeal in 1933 before any local company bothered to make hooch here. But Arizona Distilling has wasted no time in refining its technique, which uses local grains to create Copper City Bourbon, barrel-aged for at least two years and named for an Arizona brewery that was shut down during Prohibition. Lead distiller Jason Grossmiller also makes small-batch gin made with local botanicals and Desert Durum Wheat Whiskey, made from locally sourced grain. In-house, this upscale distillery offers straight-up samples and also tasting fours for up to 10 people. Each lasts about an hour and includes three to four half- to full-ounce pours.

Cider Corps

31 S. Robson, #103 Mesa

480-993-3164

Breweries and Wineries, Best Of, DrinkHere

Brothers Josh and Jason Duren live by the motto, “Out of bad comes good,” and it was this belief that created the foundation for Arizona’s widely loved and largest cidery, Cider Corps in Mesa. Jason served in the U.S. Marine Corps, and as a part of his healing and recovery from injuries sustained in Afghanistan, he decided to channel his energy into brewing craft cider with his brother. Little did the siblings know that their project would develop into a nationally known cidery. Much of the taproom’s decor commemorates veterans, while the ciders — blue-, red-, orange- and yellow-hued options blended with teas, hops and coffee — have names such as Mango Foxtrot and Private Palmer. Some of the sips are even barrel-aged or made into frozen slushies. Inside, the vibe is chill, and an expansive outdoor space is perfect for when the weather cooperates. If you’re looking for some gastronomic support in order to go for that third or fourth sample of cider, Myke’s Pizza is on hand and providing exceptional carbs.

Fate Brewing Company

7337 E. Shea Blvd. #105 North Scottsdale

480-994-1275

Brewery, Pizza, Breweries and Wineries, Best Of, Menu

Fate is kind of like all of Phoenix's bigger brewpubs shrunk down to a miniature. While that means it isn't supplying its beer all over town just yet, it does mean that Fate is constantly brewing new and different beers to sample every day. It also means you have a front row seat to the brewing process because it takes place pretty much dead center of the small restaurant and bar. It's hard to say just which Fate beer is our fave because the list changes so often, but in the past, we've enjoyed the Rye ESB and Belgian Wit. We also can't get enough of their snackable pizza bread, which ideally accompanies the craft drafts.

Garage-East

Breweries and Wineries, Community Venues, Wine Bar, Best Of, DrinkHere

Garage-East isn’t a bar in the traditional sense, but it is the perfect spot to sip away the afternoon. Located in the Barnone collection of shops at Agritopia, this wood-paneled bar serves wines by the glass to enjoy inside or on the Italy-meets-Gilbert-farm-style patio. And you won’t find these wines at any other bar. Garage-East works with Arizona growers to make its own blends and bottles. Unique offerings include the Garage East Breakfast Wine made with white wine and fruit juice and the Sonoran Spritz, an herbal, bitter and refreshing bright orange drink that helps combat the desert heat. On Sundays, this spot serves brunch, and at other times, food offerings include a cheese and meat board, soft pretzel and hot pressed sandwiches.

Hundred Mile Brewing Co.

Breweries and Wineries, Brewery, American, DrinkHere

Although it’s a bit off the beaten path, tucked in near a Holiday Inn Express along the north bank of Tempe Town Lake, Hundred Mile Brewing Co. is worth seeking out for its indoor/outdoor vibe that’s big enough for groups yet appropriate for an intimate date night. The operation, which opened in December 2022, is housed in a 10,000-square-foot white brick former print shop. A large patio with an awning in front includes a dog-friendly turf area and games, such as cornhole and giant Connect Four. Owner Sue Rigler and her team churn out quality brews that include IPAs, a hoppy pilsner, smooth amber ale, pale ale and more. The kitchen offers ramped-up bar food for almost any taste, including chimichurri nachos, a sesame-crusted ahi bowl, a vegan burger and miso-glazed salmon. There’s also a full bar with an impressive cocktail selection and a wine list that hits all the right notes.

Kitsune Brewing Co.

Breweries and Wineries, Best Of, DrinkHere

In less than two years, Kitsune Brewing Co. has cemented itself as a neighborhood staple and a draw for craft beer fans. Owner Tyler Smith and his brew team have stretched their offerings beyond the beers that they opened with — including Forager double dry hopped IPA and Fox Diver Brown — to include a regularly rotating sour program that leans into nostalgic flavors — both real and imagined — such as margarita sour and Princess Consuela, inspired by Phoebe's new name of choice on "Friends." You’ll often hear Smith before you see him. His infectious laugh bounces across the space as he chats with guests. While we’re still anxiously awaiting Kitsune’s upcoming and adjoining ramen bar, a rotation of on-site food trucks sates your hunger as you order another round.
