The Chilibeer Store

The Chilibeer Store Scattered F-16 parts, and lizards the size of beagles. And a place where a cold beer is pretty damned important. So, in 1989, he started brewing his own beer.

All baked to a crisp 130 degrees.The Arizona desert home to 20 million rattlesnakes, It's the kind of wide open desolation that makes people think twice before shutting off the car. For Crazy Ed Chilleen, of Cave Creek, Arizona, (Pop.1328 including coyotes and cattle) beer was much too important to be trusted to outsiders. The town was suspicious. And became even more so when an entire brewery a

rrived in crates at the foot of Black Mountain, along with a German named Arnold. But after the first batch the people began to come around. The beer was good, damn good, So good in fact, the yuppies started driving in from all over to try it. Something had to be done, So , whenever one of them whined for a "wedge of lime" Ed started putting a hot Serrano chili pepper into the beer instead. Amazingly, about 2 out of ten actually liked the stuff. Surely, thought Ed, the Eighties had come to close. Today the Brewery in Cave Creek is closed but Chili Beer Lives on and is being made in Tecate, Mexico and being distributed worldwide.
