In May 2023, Molly Carney established Dirt Lady Bread after relocating to Tucson. She operates a cottage bakery from her home in Armory Park, crafting beautiful and delicious artisanal sourdough and fermented yeast loaves. Molly’s loaves stand out for another reason: She sources her ingredients from local growers committed to regenerative and organic farming practices.

@Pueblovida is closing its original downtown taproom this fall, 12 years after opening, and moving next door to a larger space at 121 E. Broadway Blvd. The new taproom will seat 100+ guests and feature 14 taps, a curated wine program and, for the first time, a restaurant. Chef Scott Girod of @Anello_pizzeria will open a new restaurant in the shared space, expected to follow the taproom’s late fall 2026 opening in early 2027. “This taproom has always been more than four walls. It’s where we’ve celebrated milestones, introduced hundreds of new beers, watched friendships grow and built a community we’re incredibly grateful for. While we’re excited about what’s next, it’s impossible not to feel sentimental about saying goodbye to the place where it all happened.” — @Pueblovida Co-founder Linette Antillon Read the article on Tucsonfoodie.com@Pueblovida is closing its original downtown taproom this fall, 12 years after opening, and moving next door to a larger space at 121 E.
