It’s been a great run for Borderlands Brewing Company — they opened a second location found in the Sam Hughes neighborhood, a third location is set to open soon, and they’re celebrating 13 years of making crafty brews.
From noon – 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 16, Borderlands Brewing is hosting its 13th Anniversary Beer Fest with more than 10 breweries (more to be announced soon).

Also, this year, they’re teaming up with MotoSonora Brewing for a beer collab, which celebrates MotoSonora’s fourth anniversary, too. For those attending Borderlands Brewing’s festival, your adventure doesn’t end there! Your ticket grants you a free beer at MotoSonora after the festivities.
Additionally, and for the very first time, Borderlands will be debuting its newest concept, Sonora Moonshine Co., which is set to open this year at 124 E. Broadway Blvd. At the beer festival on Saturday, March 16, Sonora Moonshine Co. will be serving drinks and wine-based spirits for those who would like a sneak peek of their newest project.

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.
