A couple of weeks ago, Tucson’s newest brewery, Slow Body Beer Co., held a sneak peek at Tap & Bottle of what they’ve been brewing these past few months.
Today, you can enjoy one of their beers in their very own taproom!
“Think of it as a ‘petite’ opening if you will, before our big Grand Opening on Saturday.”
On Thursday, June 20, Slow Body Beer held a soft opening for its new space at 831 E. 17th St. They’re open Friday, June 21 as well from 3 – 9 p.m. and then a super official Grand Opening party on Saturday, June 22 from noon – 10 p.m.

“Come join us for a day of delicious beer, tasty food, and sunshine-y fun! We are so so SO excited to be able to share this space with all of you.”
Plus, there’s some entertainment!
Wooden Tooth Records will be blasting some tunes from 7 – 9:30 p.m. and the Slow Body Beer team will have games and giveaways all day.

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.
