Cheers! Tap & Bottle Celebrates 10 Years in Downtown Tucson

Jul 6, 20232 min read

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.

More about Matt

At 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.
