Brew Hopping
Every loves the opportunity to do some brewery hopping when they travel!
In Arizona, locals and visitors alike have found their own hidden gems and favorites in the Brewing scene for the last several decades. Arizona is home to 140 Craft Breweries, several amazing Craft Cideries, and even a few Meaderies! Every local has a favorite locally brewed beverage. Whether that’s the larger Breweries like Four Peaks, Fate Brewing, or OHSO Brewery and Distillery that have been around for a while, or exceptional Micro Breweries in the state like; Catalyst Crafted Ales, Saddle Mountain Brewing Co. or Pinnacle Brewing.
And it’s not just the locals, Arizona Craft Beer and Ciders regularly win awards on the International and National stage as well competing against thousands of master brewers and breweries! Just this year, Arizona took home 5 awards from the World Beer Cup competing against over 8000 Breweries worldwide! Since 2024, the state Breweries and Cideries have taken in over a dozen international Awards from various world competitions, adding to an already long list of state and national awards won by our local brewers. Arguably making Arizona one of the most decorated and sought after Craft Brewery and Cidery stops in the country!
