Your Guide to Breweries in Flagstaff, Arizona

by Matt SternerJan 18, 2024Updated Aug 4, 20264 min read
A few years back, I decided to take a solo trip to Flagstaff with a mission to have one beer at every local brewery in the area. Now, this was also in the winter so I figured the beer would keep me warm while I walked back to my hotel — uphill — but to my surprise, I was still shivering in my sneakers. Either way, it was a blast and I think I only made it to five of the breweries in one evening (from what I remember). There's even a digital passport you can download. Once you have all of the required stamps, bring your completed passport to receive your commemorative souvenir pint glass to one of two Flagstaff Convention & Visitors Bureau. Here's your guide to local breweries in the beautiful town of Flagstaff.

Beaver Street Brewery

11 South Beaver Street #1

Part of downtown Flagstaff since 1994, Beaver Street pumps out brews like the Railhead Red, R&R Oatmeal Stout, and Red Rock Raspberry alongside a menu of wood-fired pizzas, sandwiches, and salads. The dining room is casual and family-friendly, with a seasonal beer garden that looks out on the San Francisco Peaks.

Dark Sky Brewing Co.

117 North Beaver Street

Brewing in Flagstaff, the first International Dark Sky city, since 2014, Dark Sky leans experimental and has produced hundreds of recipes. Intergalactic art and merchandise fill the taproom, wood-fired pizza keeps your energy up, and the patio is dog-friendly.

Drinking Horn Mead Hall

108 East Route 66

Wait, this isn't beer?! It's okay, though. The mead at the Drinking Horn is worth the visit. Evan and Kelly, the proprietors of Drinking Horn, aimed to establish an inclusive gathering place that embraces individuals from diverse backgrounds. Their vision was to transport customers to a bygone era, immersing them in the ambiance of a traditional Mead Hall, where they can savor the essence of traditional mead.

Flagstaff Brewing Company

16 Historic Route 66

A good old-fashioned pub on Flagstaff's Historic Route 66, known to regulars simply as "Flagbrew." The small-batch, hand-crafted beers have been pouring since 1994, and a great patio and a solid food menu round out the picture.

Grand Canyon Brewing + Distillery

1800 South Milton Road #11

Grand Canyon Brewing Company’s Flagstaff taproom is their second location, and it houses a five-barrel brewhouse — allowing the brewers to flex their creativity. As a bonus, the taproom has a full dang menu with scratch food that can be enjoyed indoors when it’s too cold outside or on the patio when the weather is spot on. Also, they have a few local guest taps and craft cocktails made with Grand Canyon Distillery spirits.

Historic Barrel + Bottle House

110 South San Francisco Street

This is Historic Brewing’s second Flagstaff location, which includes plenty of brews, cocktails, and a pretty slick food menu if you’re tummy is grumbling. In the photo is a Vortex Salad — a combination of sweet potatoes, pickled onions, pico de gallo, and a jalapeño vinaigrette.

Historic Brewing Company

4366 East Huntington Drive

The 15-handle taproom (this is where all the magic/beer happens) may have limited hours, but this brewery’s must-see location in an industrial park is only outdone by the “crafted awesomeness” of each beer. Piehole Porter is the undisputed star as a cherry-vanilla porter that drinks like a liquid cherry cordial.

Lumberyard Brewing Company

5 South San Francisco Street

Positioned right next to Route 66 and the boomin' train tracks, Lumberyard Brewing is a great spot to not only sip on a beer but to eat. The patio is pretty dang nice, too, but keep in mind that it's not dog-friendly. Stop by to vibe with the Lumberyard community and experience the fusion of craft beer, tasty dishes, and a welcoming atmosphere that reflects the essence of Flagstaff's scene.

(Photo courtesy of Mother Road Brewing)

Mother Road Brewing Company

7 South Mikes Pike Street

Named for Historic Route 66, Mother Road is most famous for its award-winning Tower Station IPA — an India Pale Ale with aromas of tangerine and pineapple. You’ve likely seen it on tap or in a can at taprooms all around Arizona. The downtown brewery is an ideal spot to relax with a pint, talk to a stranger, pet a dog on the dog-friendly, and convince the beertender to give you more than one free Mother Road sticker.

Wanderlust Brewing Company

1519 North Main Street #102

Wanderlust is farther away from the other breweries located in or near downtown but it’s well worth the trek. The brewers specialize in Belgian- and German-inspired beers while including some modern twists on classic American styles. Flagships include the 928 Local — a wild-fermented Farmhouse Ale — and Pan American Stout which contains Mexican vanilla and locally roasted coffee. Get pumped! Also, bring your dog and stick around for live music, game night, and food trucks that tend to show up at the taproom.
