THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ARIZONA BREWERIES

The purpose of the book is to promote Arizona Breweries. Arizona is rich in history, as portrayed in this book. We are also rich in entrepreneurship. This book only offers 90 Arizona Breweries. There are several we did not pick up. We will catch them on the next edition.

This book will provide everyone with the breweries in Arizona, their location and in some cases the beers they offer.

Visit a brewery near you or travel around the state to discover our rich heritage and have a beer along the way.

It was a startling announcement: As of Dec. 1, 2015, the Brewers Association had counted 4,144 breweries in the United States, the most ever operating simultaneously in the history of the country. According to historians, the previous high-water mark of 4,131 was set in 1873.

Although beer industry observers have known this day was coming, the pace of growth was explosive: At the end of 2011, there were 2,033 breweries, or fewer than half as many as now. In 2005, there were only 1,447. And 25 years ago? The Brewers Association, a trade group for small and independent breweries, logged a mere 284 in 1990.
