We quickly dipped into early morning lows in the 60s around the Valley this week, prompting some to break out a long sleeve shirt or light jacket (or at least contemplate it). When temperatures start dropping, craft beer drinkers start thinking about changing their orders from light lagers to heavier stouts. And it looks like some Arizona breweries are obliging our desires with these new craft beer releases this week.
