Check out Tempe’s tight community of craft beer trailblazers.
Four Peaks Brewery
Award-winning ales may be the draw for the college folks who keep this cavernous but friendly place humming, but the food is terrific, too.
1340 E. Eighth St., 480-303-9967, fourpeaks.com
Pedal Haus
This bike-themed brewery is arguably restaurateur Julian Wright’s most popular concept. Meaty pub grub is balanced with a vegan menu. Lots of gluten-friendly options, too, including gluten-reduced beers.
730 S. Mill Ave., 480-314-2337, pedalhausbrewery.com
The Shop Beer Co.
Enjoy fantastic hazies and sour ales out of the Valley’s most disarming taproom setup near Tempe Town Lake.
