Here’s a competition. Not short, but stout.
Tap & Bottle North is hosting a Stout Showdown with a handful of Tucson craft breweries from 5 – 8 p.m. on Thursday, November 1.
The local competition is bringing in six of Tucson’s breweries, and they all feel like they’ve got what it takes to quench your thirst.
The fun part about this competition is that you’ll “blind taste” all the stouts. Once you’ve tried them all and voted for your favorite, a winner for the “Best Stout” will be revealed at the end of the night.
It’s going to be $12 to $15 to taste a flight of all six beers.
Participating Local Breweries
- Button Brew House
- Copper Mine Brewing Company
- Crooked Tooth Brewing Company
- Harbottle Brewing Company
- Sentinel Peak Brewing Company
- Thunder Canyon Brewstillery
If stouts aren’t your thing, but you’d still like to check out the competition, the 3,000-square-foot space includes more on tap and a bottle shop featuring more than 500 different bottles of beer. The rotating tap list — constantly being updated — features 29 beers and 8 wines.
Tap & Bottle North is located at 7254 N. Oracle Rd. For more information, visit Tap & Bottle’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.
