After being closed for months, and just in time for a beer-themed holiday, Voltron Brewing is reopening its downtown taproom on Friday, March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day).
The brewing site at 330 S. Toole Ave. #200, which is a combination of Borderlands Brewing Company and FireTruck Brewing Company, shared the news on Instagram. They even included a beer special to get folks amped up about the reopening.
“Come by between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. for $1 off all draft beers and St. Patty’s day fun.”
So, much like the animated television series name “Voltron,” you can think of Borderlands Brewing and FireTruck Brewing as a team of space explorers piloting a giant “Super Robot.” In other words, the two brew houses have been sharing the space since early 2020 — brewing their beer and dishing out kegs and cans for the masses.
It’s the perfect spot to grab a beer from either of the two breweries.
HOURS OF OPERATION
Beginning on Friday, March 17, the taproom will be open from 4 – 9 p.m. on Monday – Thursday, 4 – 10 p.m. on Friday, noon – 10 p.m. on Saturday, and noon – 6 p.m. on Sunday.
That’s seven days of beer. It’s rather heroic if you think about it: Borderlands Brewing and FireTruck Brewing working together to form the legendary Voltron, using it to defeat the Galra Empire (AKA your thirst).
Voltron Brewing is located at 330 S. Toole Ave. #200. For more information, follow Voltron Brewing on Instagram.

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.
