Holy moly, there’s been a lot brewing throughout Tucson this year during Arizona Beer Week, and if you’ve yet to visit a local craft beer spot in the past few days it’s not too late. The annual celebration is happening until Sunday, February 27 and new beer-themed events seem to be popping up every day.
There is even a downtown scavenger hunt goin’ on at the moment, but if you travel westbound, you’ll find an event that’s both thirst-quenching and a cure for tummy-grumblin’.
1912 Brewing Company and Daniela’s Cooking food truck have teamed up for Taco Tuesday, creating beer-infused tacos from 4 – 8 p.m. on Tuesday, February 22.
So, what’s the “beer taco” on the menu for the day? It’s Pork Carnitas that’s been infused with 1912 Brewing’s El Chente Mexican Lager.
The menu at Daniela’s Cooking is an infusion in itself — combining American cuisine with Mexican flavors. In addition to numerous tacos, like Pork Adobado, Nana Logo (ground beef), Vegan Bean, Shrimp Tempura, Fried Avocado, the food truck serves up wings, burgers, burritos, Bacon Ranch Fries, and more.
Additionally, being that it’s Arizona Beer Week, 1912 Brewing recently released its Lupilo Malvado Hazy IPA, which is a collaboration with Wicked Monkey Brewing Company — a new microbrewery in Marana. Grab a pint of it while it’s available.

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.
