Craft beer in Arizona
Desert craft from Phoenix and Tucson.
Arizona's craft scene revolves around Phoenix (Wren House, Arizona Wilderness, Helio Basin) and Tucson (Pueblo Vida, Dragoon, 1912). Wren House in particular has gained national recognition for IPAs and lagers. The desert climate means freshness windows matter even more — heat is unkind to hop-forward beer.
