Sipping on craft beer in a local taproom is like embarking on a flavor-filled adventure, where every sip brings a taste of the community’s creative spirit and hoppy happiness. Cheers to 10 years, Tap & Bottle.

The downtown beer-drinking spot is celebrating its big milestone and anniversary on Saturday, July 8 with a party from noon – 10 p.m.

Taking a trip down beer-goggled memory lane, Tap & Bottle opened in 2013 with a focus on being a craft beer destination and bottleshop. Soon after, they expanded to carry a curated wine and spirits selection.

In 2017, the team opened a taproom at Oracle and Ina Road, Tap & Bottle North, which is right on the cusp of Tucson, Marana, and Oro Valley. Then, just a year later, they opened Westbound — an outdoor and covered bar surrounded by shipping containers turned businesses at the MSA Annex.

So, there’s a lot to celebrate at Tap & Bottle’s 10-year anniversary party. They’ve teamed up with Dragoon Brewing Company to create the Ten Years Gone West Coast IPA, which will be released on Saturday — just in time for party time. The new IPA will also be available at Tap & Bottle North.
