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.

Scorpion Hunter, the first of many Anniversary Week beers, 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 beer 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 beer 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 beer that will expand your understanding of what beer can be.

Available at all locations this Thursday in small quantities.

Your Friends at AZW ❤️
