Born on a backpacking trip, Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company was created to celebrate the beautiful and diverse state of Arizona through locally driven beer and food. When we're not outside foraging for ingredients ourselves, we're partnering with nearby farms to source the AZ-grown fruit, veggies, grain, and meat that have led us to be consistently ranked among the best breweries in the world.

We use water-saving Sinagua malt in every beer we brew, we partner with local companies to compost all of our food waste, and we pursue sustainable efforts whenever possible to ensure the vast Arizona wilderness endures.

Our 3rd and final anniversary release has arrived, and it’s a twist on a fan favorite. TRIPLE DREAMSICLE hits shelves TOMORROW!

As you may have deduced, this is a boosted version of our OG Wilderness brew Dreamsicle. It sits at a whopping 9.7%, and, as always, is juiced up with AZ Citrus from Agritopia Farm and AZ Dairy from United Dairymen of Arizona. This beast brings along his sidekick: The Hot Honey Sando! It consists of a Maryschicken fried chicken breast, Housemade pickles, Hot honey drizzle, and Housemade orange coleslaw (zest and juice included 🍊😋)

Triple Dream hits every AZW Location tomorrow on draft and in 4packs, along with the Hot Honey Sando in VERY limited quantities (once again) at all locations.

Tomorrow is the Final Day to celebrate with us, and your final chance to get that card punched toward your 13th Anniversary Glass! 

Cheers, and we’ll see you all soon. Thank you for celebrating 13 years with us! 🎉❤️

Day two of our triple release arrives tomorrow. Say your prayers, it’s our Belgian Tripel: Tres Alamos!

This OG Wilderness brew is a DANGEROUSLY Drinkable, 8.8% Belgian Tripel, with notes of Banana, Clove, and is bursting with Fruity Esters from our Lallamand yeast. 

Pairing with this easy drinking abbey ale is yet another beautiful creation from Chef David. Brussels Grilled Shrimp consists of shrimp sourced from Santa Monica Seafood Market & Restaurant, lemon zest, chives, and a Belgian ale butter made from a reduction of Tres Alamos itself, all served with a fresh lemon wedge.

Tres Alamos hits every AZW Location tomorrow on draft and in 4packs, along with the Brussels Grilled Shrimp in VERY limited quantities at all locations. 

Happy Anniversary, and don’t forget to grab your punchcards when you visit us this weekend, you deserve an anniversary glass. 🍻 🤘🏻 🎟️

3 days of Peace and B**r are heading your way, starting with Maltstock!

Each winter we brew a fresh batch of lambic-inspired b**r. While still piping hot, we pump this specially brewed turbid wort onto a trailer and haul it to different regions of Arizona and set up camp for the evening.

We then expose this special wort to the frigid winter air overnight in our mobile coolship to allow wild, native yeasts and bacteria to take hold. The now inoculated b**r will undergo spontaneous fermentation in oak barrels back at the brewery over the course of at least one year and up to about three years.

This blend of Camp Coolship: For Here is Rest consists of spontaneous b**rs fermented by wild yeasts and bacteria captured in the desert near the Superstition Mountains, the citrus groves at Agritopia Farms, and the waters of the Gilbert Riparian Preserve. Each b**r was aged and matured in oak from 1 to 3.5 years

We are also releasing a very limited version of Camp Coolship: For Here is Rest Strawberry + Cherry which features AZ organic strawberries and Montmorency cherries.

Both versions will be available beginning 9/3.

Scorpion Hunter, the first of many Anniversary Week b**rs, drops tomorrow!

This Smooth and Easy Drinking Hazy was inspired by our Brewmaster Brad and his son’s favorite pastime: Scorpion Hunting (with UV flashlights) in their backyard. If you’ve lived in AZ for any amount of time, you get it 😎

This b**r has notes of Peach Pings, Citrus, and Coconut Husk. Available on Draft and in 4packs at all AZW Locations tomorrow at open.

Venture into the night, keep your eyes sharp, and enjoy the hunt. 🦂 🔦

Today marks 9 years in the Wilderness for our beloved Chef David Cruz! 🎉🥳

You’ve more than likely had one of Chef’s creations if you’ve been into any of our locations, and you’ve more than likely been wow’d by it. He manages a lively lineup of appetizers, burgers, salads, sandos, and tacos for us all to enjoy on each Wilderness visit.

Chef is one of the best culinary minds working in the southwest, he’s been an instrumental part of shaping what Arizona Wilderness is, and has merged his life experience with AZW to become one of Arizona’s best Leaders. There are so many ways to describe him personally, professionally, and artistically, including: Cool, Calm, Collected, Selfless, Hardworking, Consistent, Friendly, Hospitable, and Authentic. He focuses on building earnest relationships with people, makes time for his family, and does it all with a contagious smile.

Cheers to 9 years Chef.

With Much Love and due Respect,
Your Wilderness Family ❤️

We’d like to welcome you back to the Woodnotes cellar in a big and important way.

Ask anyone at our company, and they’ll tell you that Sauvage is a liquid representation of our ethos and passion. It’s the reason why we do what we do at woodnotes, and a massive part of what makes Arizona Wilderness special.

Sauvage is a mixed-culture saison that is aged consistently in an oak foudre which is never completely drained from the first time it was filled. Think of it as a b**r of Thesus, with each addition and blend adding a new complex flavor that’s coming directly from Arizona soil in whichever year it was brewed. The memory of the landscape from each batch is imbued into a new solution, aged, blended, and added again in perpetuity.

Come in and try a taste of a b**r that will expand your understanding of what b**r can be.

Available at all locations this Thursday in small quantities.

Your Friends at AZW ❤️
