- 12 West Brewing
12 West’s seasonal Hot Off the Press IPA is one you don’t want to miss. Enjoy on the dog-friendly patio or inside the massive two-story restaurant and taproom.
12 W Main St., Mesa, 480-508-7018, 12westbrewing.com - Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co.
This popular microbrewery sports a distinctly outdoorsy vibe, reflected in lodgepole furnishings, beam ceilings and national forest signage, yet its brews are remarkably light and refined. Grub is a heavier affair, with jalapeño meatloaf sliders, pork-smothered fries and frenched wings leading the appetizer charge.
