10 AZ Beers Perfect for Fall
Fall in Arizona is a pleasant mix of warm days and cool nights, which means you’ll enjoy a dark, toasty porter or a bright, crisp lager and everything in between. Get in the spirit with these 10 local brews and much more at the Hensley Beverage Garden at the Arizona Fall Festival on Nov. 2nd! #AZFallFest
SanTan Juicy Jack IPA / SanTan Brewing
1. Historic Brewing Co. Piehole Porter
A truly dessert-worthy brew, this full-flavored sipper is still delicately sweet with all-natural cherry and vanilla tucked in a delicious porter base.
2. Historic Brewing Co. Salt River
Our temps are still summery, perfect for this refreshing lager with a fun spin: salt and lime additions make it taste like a day at the beach.
3. SanTan Juicy Jack IPA
Thanks to oat additions, San Tan’s new hazy IPA goes down incredibly smooth, but still explodes with bright peach, guava and tangerine hop flavors.
4. SanTan Sex Panther Double Chocolate Porter
This highly-anticipated fall seasonal is sensually crafted with rich Colonial Rosewood Cocoa and chocolate malts. It’s the perfect companion to both smoked meats and sweet treats.
5. Wren House Spellbinder
Clocking in at 6.5% ABV, this hazy, oat-infused IPA packs a big, hoppy punch: You’ll be hooked from the first fruity wafts of tangerine peel, marmalade, overripe strawberry, and dank pineapple.
6. Wren House Big Spill Pils
An award-winning dry-hopped pilsner, Spill Pils is a classic German-influenced lager at heart, with a punched-up hop profile featuring the tropical flavors of Nelson hops.
7. That Brewery AZ Trail Ale
In this easy-sipper, bready malts give way to subtle stone fruit, rosehips, and black tea hop notes. You can feel extra good about drinking this AZ beer; 5 percent of proceeds go directly to the Arizona Trail Association whose sole mission is to build, maintain and protect the Arizona Trail.

8. That Brewery Fossil Creek IPA
This Arizona IPA’s packed full of grapefruit, tangerine and citrus zest flavors, but it clocks in at a crushable 4.2% ABV, so sample freely!
Nothing celebrates Arizona better like fresh, local beer under 80° weather. If you’re not a beer fan, Arizona wine and distilled spirits will also be flowing freely. Sip responsibly! RSVP on Facebook for exclusive updates.
