Arizona is known for many stunning attractions, such as the Grand Canyon, an abundance of copper, and the Saguaro Cacti. While it may not have quite as big of a craft beer scene as Portland, Oregon, visitors and locals will find a buzzing, burgeoning craft beer scene in the Grand Canyon state, offering plenty of options for all tastes. Hensley Beverage Company is proud to distribute some of the best craft brews from right here in Arizona.
Let’s look at popular choices, from older, more established brands, to newer brewing companies.
MOTHER ROAD BREWING CO. – FLAGSTAFF, AZ
Mother Road Brewing Company is Arizona’s third-largest independent craft brewer. Their mission is to “brew distinguished beers and build community, one pint at a time.” They offer a well-rounded selection of brews from hazy IPAs to lagers. Not only do they craft amazing beer, they are committed to supporting local Arizona charities and community involvement.
Enjoy their Tower Station IPA, a local favorite!
“This unfiltered India Pale Ale greets you with a copper-orange hue and fluffy white head, releasing aromas of tangerine and pineapple. Pilsner and Pale malts balance hop-derived flavors of grapefruit peel and pine to finish the journey.”

- Sower Station Roadside Grove IPA
- Limited Visibility Hazy IPA

FOUR PEAKS BREWING CO. – TEMPE, AZ
“Blind ambition, dumb luck, and undying thirst” got Four Peaks Brewing Co. where they are today. They take pride in their brews and steer clear of trends.
Year-Round Beers
Their Joy Bus WOW Wheat Beer is a local favorite and helps support a good cause. A percentage of their sales goes to “The Joy Bus” an organization that brings home-cooked meals to cancer patients at home.
Seasonal Beers
Seasonal beers include Oktoberfest and Pumpkin Porter, as well as Double Pumpkin and Kuhl Beans – made with locally roasted Monsooned Malabar coffee beans that have been exposed to monsoon winds for several months—truly a “chilly” brew.
Sports Beer
Sports beers are perfect for enjoying a game on a hot Arizona day. Four Peaks takes this seriously, and you can tell when you crack open a can of Rattle on Red -D-Backs fans know it better than anyone else: A good beer is an essential part of any ball game. So we partnered with Arizona’s home team and brewed this smooth, refreshing ale to pair with peanuts, dogs, and dingers. Drink up and rattle on. Their other sports beer offerings include:
- Red Bird Lager

Brick & Barrel
For fans of a substantial beer, the Brick & Barrel collection is chock-full of barrel-aged goodness and includes such classics as Sirius Black – Flavored with licorice root and cold-brewed Monsooned Malabar coffee, this rich, black-as-night brew becomes even more brilliant after spending several months in freshly emptied bourbon barrels.
