Dillinger Brewing Company and The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson are hosting the second annual “Beer, Brats & Brewery Tour” from 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 14.
After brewing commercially for more than 30 years, head brewer, John Ritter, has got a lot to share. Some of his signature styles of beer — including the IPA, Amber, Gose, Ale, Porter, and Stout — have helped him achieve national medals at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup.
The brewery tour gives you an in-depth look at the local brewing process as you snoop around the tank and mill rooms.
The taproom is family friendly, too. You can bring the kids down for board games, card games, and pints of Dillinger’s Prohibition Root Beer.
Tickets are $35 per person and just $20 for kids and those who’d rather not drink beer. Each ticket includes the brewery tour, a choice of a brat or hot dog from Doxie Dogs, chips, and a pint of any beer or a root beer.
All proceeds from this event will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson.
Dillinger Brewing Company is located at 3895 N. Oracle Rd. For more information, call (520) 207-2312 or visit Dillinger Brewing’s Facebook event page.

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.
