Phoenix Breweries

A couple weekends ago I went to Phoenix, AZ to visit my moms. Sorry, no work involved on this gig...strictly for fun. But I did take the time to visit a few different breweries on a cool Sunday afternoon, with my mom of all peeps, and we had a great time.

I had full samplers from Santan Brewery and SunUp Brewery. I had pictures to share, but somehow they got deleted from my iphone. Next time I'll blog in a more timely manner, promise.

Santan had a great atmosphere, the head bartender had been there since the beginning, a whole three months and was pumped on talking beer with me. He suggested that we check out SunUp next and so we did.

SunUp has been around for a while, the waitress falsely claimed that they were the largest micro brewery in the US. I tried to dig in a little more on her facts, but she firmly believed in the SunUp Kool-Aid. I gave her a pass since she was kind of cute and got her phone number so that I could properly educate her, since the facts she was spouting were a bit crooked.

Last stop was the Four Peaks Brewery. A quaint little place that was much quieter than the other two establishments, but it had a decent beer selection and some home made root beer for my mom.

Overall, it wasn't the great Northwest, but there is some interesting beers being brewed down in the desert. Looking forward to my Spring Training visit.
