Craft Beer Hop Stop

places/ChIJO1fjoFJuK4cR0khBYXwAsRk/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURBa0xyTFRnEAE

Some great craft beers here. So after you have an average beer at the bar next door you can get the truly amazing ones to go all in one stop. The guy working the store was very cool. Had good suggestions. And you can fill growlers last I checked. Very cool.

places/ChIJO1fjoFJuK4cR0khBYXwAsRk/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURvMTRXQ2hnRRAB

Always has a great selection of craft beer. The owner is very helpful and friendly. Worth following on insta too for updates on new/specialty beers that come in. Had a growler fill station too.

I like visiting small, locally owned craft beer shops, and this one is worth a return visit next time I'm in Phoenix.
Great conversation and a pretty good selection of beers. I walked out with some new ones to try.

The best damn bottle shop in the valley! Had been about 7 years since I had been here, and Allen is still bringing the best beer to Phoenix. I really wish my home town had anything close to the quality of the hop stop!

Frickin incredible. Great advice from both the store Dude and the experienced customers.   Plenty of variety.  I gained knowledge and great taste bringing home flavor that just might convert me to being a Ale kind of Guy.

Lake Pleasant Brewing Company

places/ChIJr3-igLNvK4cRcMQZPJPW73M/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VPcjM0dGlqam82aHBnRRAB

Great Local Brewery!! Lake Pleasant on Rose Garden just south of 19th ave is a great find. Super friendly owners and staff greet everyone whom comes in. Allie is the best!! She also introduced me to her husband Nicolas, great guy, and the Brewer!! On a previous visit, I met Dustin (also an owner), friendly nice man as well. Seems to me they have the right ingredients for success in this business!! I arrived shortly after they opened around 3:15, few customers were there, but within the hour, they got busy. This tells you they have a really good following. Fantastic selection of Beers, Sours; etc. Snacks are available behind the bar, but around 4-4:30 a Food Truck arrives; nice, real nice for the hungers while having a great brew. I think their Pleasantly Hazy IPA might be my favorite. Also, they have a sour named BOSS that was very good. Mouthful of flavor, not to sour, very fruit-forward on the palate (crisp and refreshing actually), I would recommend to try. And not to forget they have something special I've never tried before (anywhere),, "Hop-Water",,, Allie gave me a glass to drink... oh boy, that's some good stuff, right there!!! They also sell it in cans to go!! Try it, you'll love it! Met a couple of nice people at the bar, good conversation, overall good time!! I will be back!!

First time to this place last Saturday evening with a couple of friends; I hadn't even heard of it until I was called and asked to join them. It was a great experience.  Very friendly environment and good people working there. And the beer was excellent. I had them mix me up a black and tan with their Oatmeal Stout and their American Light Lager. It was so delicious; one of the best I've ever had. I even brought home a 4-pack of each.

If you love breweries, you MUST try Lake Pleasant Brewing. The best beer in the valley, brewed all by the owners! A variety of options to choose from and a space in the back for arcade games (that are free!) We recently held a gender reveal party here and the entire brewery shared in our excitement. This place is truly special!! Home away from home vibes ✨

places/ChIJr3-igLNvK4cRcMQZPJPW73M/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNvOFBMNTRBRRAB

Finally a brewing company that checks all the boxes. My son took me and I was impressed with everything.
1st the beer menu has beer that is very good. By that I mean u have more then 1 choice.  Place is family friendly. We had .y grandson with the 1st time. Nice big area in the back 4 family fun. Bags, foos ball table
Bunch of old pinball machines.
The 2nd time they had a pizza vendor out side making some really good pies.
Add yes the beer was COLD

Had a chance to sample a few of the beers today. Not only are the beers fantastic, but the vibe in the place is great as well. If you’re in the area swing by and grab a pint or 4. You’ll meet some fun folks and perhaps find yourself playing a retro arcade game or some cornhole. The crew at Lake Pleasant Brew Co are simply a chill group that you’ll want to grab a pint with.
Don’t have a taste palette for beer? No worries - they’ve got some refreshing seltzer options as well. Just go check it out. You’re welcome!

I am afraid it will get too popular.

It’s been a minute, like a whole pandemic since the last visit. They have improved a lot! On my first visit I experienced 1 or 2 that were good, the others had promise and I was hopeful. Now I think this brewery is set to become a part of downtown, like you don’t go downtown without stopping in here. The beer is good, the service is funny, the vibe is brewery. Love that they have found their stride!

I used to believe this was one of the best breweries in Arizona.  After my most recent visit I’ve decided it’s not.  It’s THE best brewery in Arizona.  They’ve always presented one of the best Stouts anywhere.  They’ve always been adventurous in a solid good way, brewing solid based beers.  But lately they’re pushing it up to a whole other level with excellent Belgian style cherry brews that are not just excellent beer but a statement about the art of brewing.  In state known mostly for IPA and lagers they’re venturing into some of the most daring and challenging terrain in brewing.  They tend to lead with sours, which while excellent aren’t really my thing.  But their stouts and now Dubbel Krieck as well (in addition to basic lagers and IPA) takes the whole thing to another level and provides a wonderful facet under-represented in Arizona very successfully.  The facility and ambience remain, as they’ve always been, charmingly low key, unpretentious and relaxing.  I was hesitant to post this because they’re probably one of the ‘best kept secrets’ in the Valley and I’d hate crowds to interfere with my special brewery, but folks who really like beer and know something about it owe it to themselves to stop by and raise a pint or two here.  Don’t expect Roosevelt here though.  This is Grand and it’s character and charm are more fundamental and authentic.  Roosevelt has its own charms but people who really like beer and a more real and authentic street experience should absolutely love this place.  I can’t recommend Grand Avenue brewery too highly and I’ve sampled from Hungary to the Czech Republic to Holland and all over Belgium not to mention every brewery I could get to in Arizona, Florida and Colorado.  When it comes down to the beer Grand Avenue Brewery can play with the big boys.  Check it out!

First I would like to say that Captain Elizabeth was awesome!! The fun factor is off the chart. The reason I gave a 3 out of 5 is because what I payed for the two hours was to much. It has to deal with the trolley. I of the seats was broken and couldn't be used. Sum of the seats couldn't be adjusted. Three of our party members had to sit in a two seater. We did the trolley ride in Flagstaff.  We did this 9 years ago and the trolley back then was awesome. It would be nice if they would put some money into their Flagstaff Trolley.

Booked a bike party for the bachelorette in AZ and it was so much fun! We had Brooke and she a wonderful bike captain. Was really sweet, communicated ahead of time, answered questions that we had, and took care of us the entire time. I liked that it was BYOB at this location. We chose 7PM on a Saturday, so the bars weren’t super crowded. Would highly recommend!

I set up a Saturday afternoon Arizona Party Bike in Phoenix for my little sisters bachelor/bachelorette party and we had an amazing time! It was our entire groups first time checking it out and we all were jamming out while on the bike and enjoying all of the stops along the way as well. Our party captain Ivory was amazing! She was not only informative BUT upbeat which helped keep our energy up the entire time. We also had a small hiccup where the groom lost his wallet on our beginning stretch and she went the extra mile to try and help him find it. Would definitely recommend doing this if you're looking for something different and fun to do for any type of party!

So, two folks from the middle of no-where Texas find Kitsune Brewing whilst visiting Phoenix Az.  Blessings abound, JJ the owner and exceptional host of a great brewery with outstanding brews. Specifically, the most recent brews in the ongoing Forager series. These IPA fruit brews were the most full aroma, flavorful, palate pleasing IPAs I’ve experienced.  I suppose there will be other series to follow as this one is now tapped out.  I hope to return soon to experience all of the other fine offerings to be had!!

Very large variety of beers are offered here, and they all have a great taste which is incredibly hard to find elsewhere. Although I am a lager guy (lagers are perfect here), I havent found a terrible beer yet of any style

The laid back vibes and the merch are an additional plus for me.

I always make it an effort to come here every time I visit Arizona

Such a wide array of flavors and brews. Great place to hang out with a good truck there some nights. Amazing staff. Friendly patrons. Great ambience. Really couldn't ask for more with such a chill spot that brews on-site. If you enjoy beer , this is the spot to relax at and sample all the different flavors there.

Outlaw Distillery

places/ChIJt_HFWFAIK4cRhyz-_y2tJjU/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURJaVB6UjNBRRAB

We stopped by Adventurous Stills last night as part of our Bike Week route with friends, and it was absolutely one of the highlights of our ride. The drinks were fantastic, the atmosphere was welcoming and fun, and the staff were genuinely awesome—fun to talk to and clearly passionate about what they do.

What really blew me away was the level of kindness and integrity. I accidentally left my wallet behind, and not only did they track down where we were going next, they brought it to me at the restaurant because they were going to be closed for the next two days and wanted to make sure I got it. That level of care is rare.

This experience confirmed something I’ve always believed—there are still more good people in this world than bad. Hats off to Adventurous Stills. We’ll definitely be back!

places/ChIJt_HFWFAIK4cRhyz-_y2tJjU/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURzeHBlVVRBEAE

The husband found an article about Adventurous Stills, so we decided to do a tour with some friends. It's not a large distillery, which adds to its uniqueness. The tour takes about an hour there are samples and you get an up close and personal view of the stills working. Pretty co experience. They have a bar and the drinks were amazing. We tried several drinks and the amazing bartender was great about creating some on the spot too. The margarita she made was a perfect balance and by far THE best one I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

This place is great! Located in Tempe but not on Mill Avenue. We had the best tour from Chase and got to sample each of their products. My husband and I learned so much about the process and the products. The bartender working was great and made me a delightful La La Lemonade which contains their Picket Post Vodka. The drink is made with a syrup that actually changes from blue to purple right before your eyes! I highly recommend it. This was a great date night for my husband and I. 10/10 would highly recommend giving them a visit and your business!

Awesome experience/date night. LaLa, our bartender made the most phenomenal drinks using all of their own craft made spirits. Chase, one of the owners & our “tour guide” taught us so much about milling the grains & the distilling process. The tour was worthwhile, especially if you’re a novice about the process like my husband & I. Plus, you get to sample each of the spirits during the tour! I’d highly recommend visiting! #adventurousstills #arizona #lfthx #organicad #drinklocal

Highly recommended! While visiting Phoenix I was looking into local distilleries. Adventurous Stills was of interest for their grain to glass, local, transparent operation so I stopped by. Kelly was very passionate about their products, processes and inspirations. He provided multiple tastings, showed me around the place with an air of “just hanging out” as opposed to a sales pitch.

I ended up selecting an array of products and am enjoying each one at home. The rye in particular is tasty and unique. Prices are very reasonable for a product crafted with such attention to grain sourcing, full in house production at a small scale and quality. I would encourage anyone to stop by and support this local gem or pick up a bottle at your liquor store. Not sure when I’ll be back in Arizona but I plan on checking back in whenever that is.

Needed to run an errand to Harbor Freight on SE corner of Bell rd and 51st ave. To my surprise right next door (to the right), something caught my eye; and open door with ballons and a sign above the door: Hopsology Taproom and Wine Bar. So I had to peak inside and check it out. A friendly greeting said "C'mon in and welcome!!" (WTHeck, Harbor Freight can wait), so I sat down in an awesome bar seat with a back, all-cushioned very comfortable and the perfect height,  especially for tall people! Allie was the person whom greeted me, asked what type of beer do I prefer. I enjoy IPA's but during the day running errands and such, the abv has to be low. She offered a couple of choices and I was very pleased with an ice cold brew. Also met a few folks at the bar who were very friendly and knowledgeable home-brewers, willing to share there experiences. There was a food truck that arrived, but I didn't try any food but I did see a couple of orders and it looked good. Also met Adam whom shared his opening experience so far.  I can tell they are both dedicated to making Hopsology work and I wish them all the best!! I will be back.

Family owned and obviously very passionate about providing both knowledge and service to their customers. Rotating taps, so come back again and again to see the new offerings. Not much for food on site, however there are local food trucks with variety to try. Single cans to have something to take home. Not a big wine guy, but their selection seems varied as well. If you are a home brewer, they have supplies for too. Will return. Cheers!

Great concept, very unique to the area. Also, been around 35 years, but the new owner has taken a unique approach.1) You can bring your food, but will have food trucks too some nights.  2) it’s a taproom focused on local beer, they have wine (great selection, from anywhere in the world ), they have canned craft beer ( a lot) 3) it has evolved from a place where beer hobby folks would shop for supplies to a way more social atmosphere that still has the shop elements.

Great place to check out, if you golf at Belair, amazing landing spot.  Live around the area, great people to support.

The people that run this place are so rude!!  They started cussing at my husband because he parked in a spot that they thought they had reserved. He was 10 feet away from the orange cones they had in the parking lot, but she still felt that he was encroaching on her reserved space in this open parking lot I’m sorry this is an open parking lot. What the heck is she thinking? She was completely unhinged. Definitely will not be spending a dime in her business or the food trucks that she brings in.

And now that I review their response, I can also add to my review and say they are dishonest.  The response was dishonest and that’s not actually what happened.  But good luck to you oh and in response I guess what you told me karma is a B word.  Yep that’s what you said to me. By the way, we were at least 15 feet away from your cones and the food truck did pull up before we left and had plenty of room so your ridiculous amount of reserving spaces was embarrassing. Had you just asked nicely that we could reposition our trucks because you had a food truck coming in we would’ve gladly done so with a smile, but you came off hot like angry at the world.

Dynamite Beer Company - Uptown PHX

We are so lucky to have Dynamite Brewing close to home. The beer is great and selection of taps available is extensive, something for everybody. We are gathering friends for game night and headed back Sat for live music. The high tech misting system and shade outside make for a rare and comfortable conversation in the summer. Thanks for what you do Dynamite.

places/ChIJfexz3aYTK4cRunJGuyNG7TI/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURJOHVidlV3EAE

In a back corner of Uptown Plaza is a new tap room and brewery called Dynamite Beer Company. The company started in Cave Creek and has since expanded and recently took over the Huss Brewing location in uptown Phoenix.

Currently, Dynamite Beer Company is a tap room and restaurant but they are working on brewing their own beers to add into their mix of taps. You have to have your own beer if you're going to call yourself a beer company, right?

The uptown location carries over much of the decor from the Huss days but thankfully there have been some nice upgrades, including new chairs (so much better than the old ones) and a new, fantastic menu.

My family and I decided to swing by on a random Sunday after a long day of house chores and the place was hopping. In addition to the crowd checking out the beer company, there was also some live music (Jesse Valenzuela from the Gin Blossoms was there, sooooooo awesome). We grabbed a table (seat yourself) and scanned the QR codes to check out the current beer selection. Wait-staff came by shortly after and gave us the food menus as well. The staff was very friendly even considering the packed crowd they had that afternoon. Dynamite had an "extra" outdoor area setup that day, which was great considering how many people were there.

My daughter got a kids pizza, my wife got the Chicken Pesto Wrap, and I ordered the Italian Grinder. We each (except the kid) ordered a beer as well, Pure Project Brewing's Ship Full Sail, which is inspired by ESB beers from the UK.

The food was excellent and we both were excited to eat the chips that came with out food. I don't know if they're the exact chips from the Huss days, but they certainly tasted like them (we love them). The beer was also fantastic and we both were happy to see that the beer menu wasn't 80% IPAs.

Dynamite also has a small wine selection. I personally would love to see some AZ wines added to the mix (and beers too) but the variety that they had when we stopped by should satisfy most people.

In all, my wife and I were really happy to see Mike running his own beer company as we've been patrons of the former Huss Brewing Company location since it opened (Mike helped launch + manage that location). We will definitely be back, especially in the summer when a cold beer and good food are all you're looking for.

Newly opened in the former Huss Brewing spot in Uptown Plaza. The grand opening was 3/22, but on this Sunday afternoon people were enjoying the 20 local brews on tap, some sunshine and good food.
We had the Feta cheese board which came with Meyer Lemon Jam and Marcona Almonds. We also had the Bee Sting Pizza.

places/ChIJfexz3aYTK4cRunJGuyNG7TI/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNRLU91dGJnEAE

This new place was clean with a great tap selection. Everything was great until I started grabbing stuff to go. Nearly every beer they had packs of they also had as singles to go, so I made a 4 pack. I was a bit surprised at how much my bill was, so I sent myself a receipt and saw that every can was priced at HALF of its respective pack. I had IPAs that were $13/can (minus my 10% mix pack discount), which is pretty outrageous. I asked my server about it after closing and she confirmed that those were the prices, then checked the 4-packs, which were mostly $26-28 each. I get that a bottle shop such as this will have some items costing more than say Total Wine, and I probably would have been ok if the cans were $8 or so but given how competitive this area is, to have their standard single can pricing so high is IMO a big issue for me.

I'm happy for the new space & business but this left a real sour taste in my mouth on
what was overall a good experience. Could I have gone through the rigimorale of returning 2 cans to get a 4 pack for the same price? Probably. But I was so taken aback by this cost I ended up just leaving. Hopefully this was a mistake from just opening and will be adjusted in the future.

Dynamite is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, taking over for the space Huss occupied. We would go to Huss occasionally but it was honestly a tad stale and quiet in the recent past. Dynamite has brought a new energy with regular plans for live music (which is so appreciated and has been amazing!). The pretzel with the feta whip is awesome and the selections of beer and wine have something for everyone. We are big fans of server Joey whom we knew from his days at sorso- he's always welcoming and quick to make us laugh. Definitely a place to check out and frequent!!

Stopped here to cool off and was delightfully surprised that they serve $4 pints when temperature is over 104 degrees of freedom units…A Scottish brewery with a ninth gen brewmaster (enough said). I’m an IPA lover myself but was extremely happy with their Bitter (ESB) brew. The waitress was such a delight as well! Very knowledgeable and helped me find what I like. Plus they offer complimentary snacks. From out of town and will definitely stop by again next time I’m back!

The best beer in the region. We love the oatmeal stout. Lochiel Beer is really clean beer: The owner told us about how they clean the pipes regularly and use high quality grains from the UK. I notice a difference between drinking Lochiel beer and store bought beer. I don't feel hungover or grumpy the next day! This beer is really healthy, I feel. If that sounds odd, just drink it and you will notice a difference.

I also like that this place is a brewery, not a bar. Really down to earth normal people who are nice.

Great beer! The scotch ale was one of the best I've ever had! They were so friendly! There was nowhere for us to sit when we got there, but that didn't stop the waitress from having a beer in our hand within minutes of being there!

Kings Beer & Wine

Buddy and I came here for the first time after trying to find a spot for a drink. We were intrigued by the photos online as it looked like a cool place - we were not disappointed. There was a large beer selection for myself and wine for my extravagant buddy….The service was great and the place was extremely clean. The bartender was always defunding something to do when someone wasn’t flagging him down for a drink. I highly recommend this place.

I like this spot a lot. Good vibe, vast selection of beers, meads and some wines. They don't sell food but you can bring your own food in and enjoy it. We usually do pizza from dominos next door or a subway. Vinny the Owner is fantastic, he is always with a big smile and very attentive.

10/10 would swim back again. The snacks? Elite. Beer selection? Chef’s kiss. And the service? So good I felt like a VIP with every pour. If you’re not here, you’re missing out.

The Shop Beer Co.

places/ChIJbUhWoSwJK4cRNNVaTW1Dowc/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURQcHNEM0JBEAE

We visited The Shop Beer Co. in Tempe, looking for a laid-back vibe, good brews, and an inviting outdoor patio. The atmosphere lived up to its casual charm, though the music leaned a bit heavy for our taste. The Church Music IPA was a standout, boasting refreshing citrus notes, and the $10 flight (four brews) was a solid value. However, the outdoor space could use some attention to cleanliness, and parking is limited. Overall, a good spot for beer enthusiasts looking to relax and explore some quality local brews. Saluti

Cool place to check out just west of downtown. Beer options were good, and the nuts were excellent (albeit a tad pricey). Seating outside was a premium with some larger tables occupied by 2 people when smaller tables were available.

My husband and I visited this brewery twice in two days on a long weekend to Phoenix area. Great beer, atmosphere, music and bartenders. Knowledgeable staff. Friendly patrons. Definitely a must if you visit Tempe area. Easy scooter ride from most of town. We had a blast!

Total hidden gem. You’d never know it was here just driving by, but if you know, you know. Super chill spot with solid local beer and a DJ laying down smooth chill hop vibes. The patio’s got shade and misters, which is a necessity in the heat. Just a great spot to kick back and reset. Couldn’t recommend enough.

places/ChIJbUhWoSwJK4cRNNVaTW1Dowc/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURoMWRDOVhBEAE

I’m a fan of The Shop Beer Co. I’m in love with the design of the patio and bar. It’s a friendly neighborhood brewery! You can see the mash tubs and fermentation area. They offer a nice swag selection, so you can show off your love for The Shop Beer Co. The bartenders are really nice and attentive. I recommend the Church Music it’s a hoppy IPA. I promise I’m not a hipster I liked microbrews since a long time before it was trendy.

The 1227 Taproom

places/ChIJQWhR3RdtK4cR9yKT0CPAE_c/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURicXNySDNRRRAB

This place had decent prices and plenty of tasty selections. 1227 Taproom in Phoenix has a chill vibe and a great variety of craft beers. The staff are friendly and know their stuff. Plus, Fonzy Tacos is right behind the taproom and serves some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The combo of good beer and tasty tacos is perfect. Definitely worth a visit!

1227 Tap is a fun place for live music and to just hang out. The staff is very friendly and attentive to the guests. They have an awesome selection of craft beers (Pizza Port is one of my favorites) and a variety of wine to choose from. It’s a spot definitely worth checking out.

The vibe is very chill, and the bartender we spoke with was very pleasant, he told us about a cool app where you can log beers youve tried/find new ones!

We have only been a couple times, but they have had a live music type band playing music too

They have an orange creamsicle ale my bf loves and a frozen rosé for the ladies ✨
We haven't tried the food yet!

Great beer, wonderful owners who are very knowledgeable and provide great recommendations. They have a wall of take-home beers that have a wide array of choices. Amazing taco truck right outside if you need a bite to eat while you enjoy the amazing beers. 10 out of 10 come try it, especially if you're not local.

Greenwood Brewing

places/ChIJSUlyOL8TK4cRm-ZPCN0BcZk/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VQajJucGJIel9XWVlREAE

Maybe it was because we went in during the last 30 minutes on a Sunday, but there really wasn't any personality to the place. Not unwelcoming, but not welcoming. Some kind of light but noticeable odd smell inside, and it didn't match any cleanser so idk what to make of it. Go for the experimental mango cream ale if it's still there.

places/ChIJSUlyOL8TK4cRm-ZPCN0BcZk/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNZMUptSHJnRRAB

Great spot with amazing in-house brewed beer. Prices are affordable, though the pours are on the smaller side.

There’s plenty of outdoor seating, which makes it a really nice and relaxing place to hang out—especially on a good weather day.

Great discovery while visiting Phoenix. Stopped by for a couple late night beers and was not disappointed. Stated with a German beer and ended doing a flight. All the beers were amazing. Will definitely come back again.

The beers we had were excellent: blueberry wheat, "mango lassi" & more...fantastic.  If I lived nearby I'd be in there all the time.  The "personality", as described by another reviewer, is just fine...great for drinking beer and having a conversation.  While we were there an engagement party was in full swing.  They seemed to be enjoying themselves.

places/ChIJSUlyOL8TK4cRm-ZPCN0BcZk/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNueExtSGhRRRAB

A very small brewery with a small but nice  tap list, even offering a Belgian  triple (you do not see that very often). Beer only plus beer to go and swag for sale. No food but can order from nearby restaurants. Limited indoor seating, but plenty outside seating. The pale ale was pretty good, well balanced. The watermelon gose was very nice as well.

Front Pourch Brewing

Love it! Alot of effort went into the interior design in there. Family owned with a great staff. Food trucks swing by from time-to-time and there's plenty of room inside for large groups. Darts, board games, a mini Pac-man and a large Connect Four to pass the time. Great beer selection with Flghts and beer to-go options. A mug club with benefits! I'll be a regular...

Locals hangout with food truck service. Their IPA is very tasty. The pizza truck was as a bit overpriced for what it was. Would come again when in town.

Ok.  So a rare 5 star.  Especially for a brewery!  If you want great beer and great atmosphere find your way to this little place in an industrial complex. Nothing but beer and ales and porters and… no mixed drinks… just beer.  Food is provided by outside food trucks but they have really good popcorn inside! (Really good, no joke).  Family owned and operated.  Never been somewhere they had a selection of 6 different hazy IPA’s !  They recently brewed a “Christmas brew” with hints of white chocolate and peppermint.  Not sweet… just hints.   And it really works.  Outstanding. Friendly crowd (some kids there with parents) and really fun time.  If breweries are your thing, this is definitely a place to try !

Newly opened near PV renovation area, around the corner from Whole Foods.
They do not have a kitchen but you can bring food in, and a decent burger place (Melt) nearby.
Very cute and nice inside. There is bar seating, tables, and booths.
Trivia on Tuesdays at 7pm. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the place was full by 1pm.
Great selection of draft and cast beers as well as a stocked cooler of Wren House favorites.
Good vibes and not as noisy as the nearby Trevor’s.

I like trying out new places that serve beer. Wren house makes great beer and the Phoenix location has always been a favorite. If I lived in the apartments above this location I would come all the time. Clean. Covered patio. Parking isn't the best but there is a lot not too far away.

places/ChIJ43As_hhzK4cRZUMdNvLxI0w/reviews/Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21ONFNEUkxSRGxwYjBkUU5XaHlPVFp4Y2pGdlJGRRAB

No food, but some good Wren House beer on cask, and more on tap. Nice new location, but a bit small. Mostly high tables and booths. Parking is less then optimal, and involves a lot of hunting for open spot, and a walk, or valet across the street at Blanco. The AC has hard time coping when the place is full, and if you sit by the door you will be hit from the people coming and going. A bit of a fail for new construction.

PROS:
- Four beer engines for cask beer
- Fresh looking space
- Good ambiance
- Great Wren House beer

CONS:
- No Gravy
- Parking is less than optimal, and involves a bit of a walk, which isn't fun in the heat
- Too small, it is going to be crowded during popular days, hours
- When full AC can't keep up

Wow, great job on the new Wren House PV location. It's a nice upscale Pub Style Tap Room with beautiful wood work around the booths. With 16 beers on tap and 4 casks there's a style for everyone.  The Prairie Ghost Altbier on cask was amazing. It's conveniently located behind Whole Foods and right across from Blanco with a parking garage nearby.

We tried the margherita pizza and cider flight. Both were so good and reasonably priced for the two of us to share. Service was nice and quick. Great variety of drinks and flavors. We also liked the military wall art and decor. Next time we're in the area we'd love to come back again!

Good ciders!  I’m not a big cider guy (actually don’t drink a whole lot of alcohol at all anymore), but what they served was tasty and the quality was good.  The “Apple Pie” cider did taste just like apple pie.  Service was excellent!  Definitely a worthwhile location.  I had some Myke’s Pizza while I was there.  Outside patio might get hot in the summer with the west exposure.

The pizza in there was delicious, it’s not from cider corps, but it’s great to have it there. I loved the Sticky the most, we had a few others in our flight of ciders. The mango one was also sooooo good. Very happy with our stop, the staff was very friendly and informative too.

This is an incredibly neat place to grab a drink. Veteran owned and it’s very clear based on the decor and cleverly named drinks. The staff were super friendly and helpful as it was my first time there. I was given a sampler and a glass of water without even asking! Their ciders are phenomenal and you can mix and match a 4 pack to take with you!

The place was definitely what you would call busy, but that didn't stop the bartender from coming out from behind the bar and serving as quickly and promptly, they pour pints and they have many different handles. Nothing but a list beers. I had the stout and my wife had a nice amber and they were both good 👍🏽💯

We love this place. The drinks are good, priced well, and the service is fantastic. They have food trucks that come most days and they choose the trucks wisely. The Chimichurri Argentine Grill is our favorite. Come in, chill in the awesome atmosphere, get a drink or two, and enjoy some ribs and wings.

Was in the area, figured why not stop in and take a look.

Popped in, immediately went over to the bottle selection, not great, there was a few options-not as many as I expected though, it looked rather lacking in the selection department. I looked around, there were 3-4 people there, didn't see any employees during my very short visit of under 3-5 minutes. No one was behind the bar as far I could tell.

It looked like a good chill spot, there were some comfortable seating locations, some party games, some little board games, and lots of beer on tap. Maybe their bottle selection was just a one-off situation, or times are tough, unsure. I took no pictures, didn't feel right to do so.

I would check it out again if with a friend and not too busy.

places/ChIJ3Yg41IcHK4cRizFbDZmEc_o/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURJNklIVkZ3EAE

Great neighborhood bar hidden in a strip mall. There was a food truck, but we didn't get any food. The selection on tap and in the fridge was great. The bartender was super friendly and gave us a few samples. The bar filled up when we were heading out, but it never got obnoxiously loud. We will definitely be back!
