It’s been a decade since the brewery first tapped into Tucson’s beer scene, and now the crew is ready to celebrate with loads of activities.
Dragoon Brewing Company is hosting its 10-year anniversary celebration from noon – 10 p.m. on Saturday, April 30 at 1859 W. Grant Rd. #111.

Being around for this many years is quite an achievement.
If you’ve been to any local restaurants lately it’s likely you’ve seen Dragoon IPA on tap. Back in 2017, Dragoon’s own barrel production increased dramatically after an expansion that boosted production capacity — making them one of the larger producers in Arizona.

But our customers are also generally pretty excited about new beers we are experimenting with, and that helps make it rewarding as well.”
10-year anniversary celebration
The big party is free to attend and will include some new beer releases, new merchandise, plenty of cornhole opportunities, a DIY plant station by Pax Plants, a photo booth by Desert Memories, and life screenprinting by Goodfellas Merch.
Plus, there are going to be a few food trucks to choose from throughout the day, and a handful of great local bands pumpin’ out the jams.

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.
