Guide to Beer on Tucson’s Chuck Huckelberry Loop (Foodie 15)

by Matt SternerNov 16, 2023Updated Aug 4, 20266 min read
Hop on your bike, take a stroll, and dive into the adventure of The Loop — officially known as The Chuck Huckelberry Loop. This winding wonder weaves through the scenic routes of Tucson, the outskirts of Marana, the mountainous views of Oro Valley, and more. As a matter of fact, USA Today once recognized The Loop as the top bike path in America. The Loop has multiple paths and if you're taking on one of the larger routes you may need a pitstop for a cold one. Here's a list of 15 of our favorite spots to grab a beer along The Loop, which aren't too far off of the path. Additionally, we've included the Oro Valley/CDO/Marana Extensions as well.
