Over on the northwest side of town, hop off of I-10, head east down Ina Road, take a right on North Camino Martin, and at the very end of the road you’ll find a wonderland of beer at Button Brew House.
Owners Todd and Erika Button opened up the brewery in 2017 and have been brewing, canning, and tapping into new and unique beers ever since.
Limited-time Beer Special
With its annual March Hoppiness Festival right around the corner (we’ll touch on that later in the article), Button Brew House has a special deal for beer lovers in Tucson. From now until Saturday, July 1, the brewery is offering 50% off your first 16-ounce draft pint or larger pour during your visit.
Here’s how the deal works:
- Walk into Button Brew House’s taproom at 6800 N. Camino Martin #160

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.
