Friends of Saguaro National Park joined forces with Crooked Tooth Brewing Co. to create a new limited-edition beer: the Mesquite Amber. The release celebrates the desert’s unique flavor and Tucson’s tight-knit community of craft beer lovers.

Celebrating a Local Treasure

The Friends of Saguaro National Park Mesquite Amber features locally inspired artwork by Tucson artist Emma Rogers. The brew captures the character of the Sonoran Desert through its rich amber profile and subtle mesquite notes.

Where to Find It

Beer enthusiasts can find the Mesquite Amber on draft and in cans at several Tucson spots. The lineup includes HUB Restaurant & Ice Creamery, Growler’s Taphouse, Arizona Beer House, El Conquistador Tucson, Food Conspiracy Co-op, Tap Savvy, Tap and Bottle North, AC Hotel Tucson, CORBETT’S, and more.

Brewing for a Cause

Crooked Tooth Brewing’s collaboration with Friends of Saguaro supports the organization’s ongoing work to protect and promote the park. “I want to thank Julie, Ben, David, and everyone at Crooked Tooth Brewery for partnering on something we both love; beer and protecting our amazing national park,” said Fred Stula, executive director of Friends of Saguaro National Park.
