FLAGSTAFF, AZ IS CRAFT BEER TOWN
Flagstaff conjures images of Grand Canyon National Park, monuments, high peaks, and four seasons. But the real adventure begins in the heart of this historic downtown with local breweries offering distinctive IPAs to Kölsch-style ales. The walkable Craft Beer Trail (craftbeerflg.com) showcases nationally award-winning beers. Here are just a few:
Mother Road Brewery is named for Historic Route 66. It is most famous for its Tower Station IPA, an India Pale Ale with aromas of tangerine and pineapple. The Brewery is an ideal setting to relax with a pint and linger over conversation and great pub food.
Beaver Street Brewery is Flagstaff’s first brewpub, opening its doors in March 1994. Another local favorite with a tradition of Railhead Red, R&R Oatmeal Stout, and Red Rock Raspberry.
Wanderlust Brewing Company’s specialty is Belgian and German inspired beers, with modern twists on classic American styles. Favorite pours include the 928 Local Ale and Pan American Stout, containing Mexican vanilla and locally roasted coffee
