Growing up isn’t bad at all when it involves more beer.
Dragoon Brewing Company is giving you a behind the scenes look at their newly designed brewhouse at 2 p.m. on Saturday, December 16.
Dragoon just finished expanding its brewing capacity by installing a new three-vessel, 30-barrel brewhouse.
In other words, the expansion has increased Dragoon’s brewing dimensions from 7,500 barrels to about 20,000 barrels. That’s a big gulp.
This also means the year-round beers, like Dragoon IPA, Stronghold Session Ale, and Santa Cruz’R Golden Ale, can be brewed in larger batches, and it gives more opportunity to brew specialty beers throughout the year.
Head Brewer Eric Greene says, “Our new brewhouse will not only allow us to make a whole lot more beer, but it features automation controls and heat exchange technology to help improve beer quality, consistency and efficiency.”
The behind the scenes tour will be offered to the public at 2 p.m. on Saturday, December 16, but it’s on a first come first serve basis.
Dragoon Brewing Company is located at 1859 W. Grant Rd. For more information, call (520) 329-3606 or visit dragoonbrewing.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
