"In the Valley, O.H.S.O. is synonymous with “dog-friendly patio.” Each of the craft brewery and distillery’s locations has an expansive patio with its trademark orange umbrellas. And for your furry friends: complimentary treats and bowls of fresh water. The Paradise Valley and Gilbert locations also have yard game so humans can have fun, too.Must-order dish: Green chile pork with corn, cotija, rice, poblano aioli, pickled onions and tortillas ($15) Four Valley locations, ohsobrewery.com"

"Especially when those friends have four legs and bushy tails. This brewery and nano-distillery has a reputation as one of the friendliest dog-friendly dining outposts around town. Its casual, laid back vibe and shaded outdoor patio make a more-than-ideal scene to sip seasonal craft beers while noshing your way through a plate of cereal-covered French toast."

"A post shared by OHSO Brewery (@ohsobrewery) on Sep 25, 2018 at 3:16pm PDT. All suds and pet lovers are welcome at O.S.H.O. (Outrageous Social Homebrewers Outpost), a nano-brewery/distillery that is dog-friendly with 40-plus beers on tap and house wine and cocktails, a hearty lunch and dinner menu and weekend beer brunch including many gluten-free options."

"Old Town Scottsdale’s Goldwater Brewing recently opened a second spot in east Mesa. Still, the most thrilling facet of Goldwater remains in its flagship location: an underground repurposed bunker where batches of beer age and small parties can drink (or could before the pandemic). Imagine a happy dungeon of barrel-aged experimentation."

"Family-owned and operated, Goldwater Brewing Co. has 30 + years of brewing knowledge and one killer tap room with over 20 of their own craft beers on tap, as well as seasonal one-off brews. Head underground to their second tap room called Goldmine and you’ll gain access to barrel-aged beers."

"Helton Brewing has quickly won the hearts of many Phoenix locals in the few years since its been open. Expect a wide selection of consistent beers and, on those relieving cooler days, live music by local bands in the outdoor “Beer Garage.” Feel free to bring your furry friends along with you to this brewery. If your pup likes the atmosphere as much as you will, join Helton’s Downward Dog for the Dog’s event, where $1 from every pint is donated to the One Love Pit Bull Foundation."

"In a beer scene where just about all of the esteemed breweries are less than 10 years old, Todd Helton’s decades of experience make him an old hand. Patrons who sit down to soft pretzels or pulled-pork-stuffed waffles can watch the long-bearded brewer at work among the fermentation tanks. Helton is known for traditional versions of classics, like pilsner and a Scotch ale he has brewed the same way for almost 30 years."

"Housed in a 1920s bungalow in the Green Gables neighborhood, the 10-barrel Wren House Brewing Company brews international-style beers, IPAs, and experimental releases like Yellow Giraffe, meant to mimic the flavors of horchata. Standout regulars include Valley Beer, a 2019 Great American Beer Festival winner in the American Lager category; the highly-regarded IPA Spellbinder; and Jomax, an oatmeal stout made with beans roasted at one of the best local coffeehouses, Press Coffee. Given the limited space, food isn’t served, but you can bring your own, have food delivered or satisfy yourself with the brews made in collaboration with Valley restaurants, like Little Miss BBQ."

"Anchored by a taproom the size of a big living room, Wren House has won a cult following. Its staple lager, Valley Beer, can be enjoyed at many top restaurants around town and reflects what Wren House does: make technically impressive beers. The simplest, by-the-book brew styles such as the Jomax stout and Spellbinder IPA stand out on the tap list."

"One of the state’s largest independent brewers, family-owned Huss Brewing Company produces not only its own label but, after bringing Papago Brewing Co. under its wing, the Papago Brewing brand, too. On tap at the Uptown and Tempe locations, you’ll find Huss favorites Koffee Kölsch and Huss Nitro Milk Stout, Papago standouts Papago Orange Blossom and Papago Coconut Joe and other year-round beers. Both taprooms have unique offerings, like the 2020 Barrel Aged Rio with Ecuadorian cacao nibs, and Doug & Jeff’s Cashmere Sweater IPA, a collaboration with Odell Brewing Company."

"This independent brewery makes beer that can hold its own against the big dogs. As one of the largest breweries in the state, husband and wife duo Jeff and Leah Huss have proven that they’re onto something that works.

"Wrigley is a name that most people will be familiar with, seeing that it is the name attached to the world-famous chewing gum brand. As it turns out, William Wrigley Jr was not only a chewing gum industrialist, he was also the owner of the mansion overlooking the metropolis of Phoenix. Visitors will find it appearing more Californian than Arizonian – possibly due to its incredible tile-work, featuring tiles that were originally crafted at Wrigley’s tile factory on Catalina Island."

"Pair and extensive wine list of more than 800 bottles with scenic views from a formal dining room and what do you get?. One of the most romantic restaurants in Phoenix, which is also known as the Wrigley Mansion Restaurant. This elegant, sprawling Italianate mansion was built back in the 1920s."

See what life was like back then in the Arizona desert and how people got the necessary work done without all the modern technology."

"The finest public park in Glendale is a reminder of the city’s agricultural beginnings. Set up as a commercial operation by the rich Illinois businessman William H. Bartlett in 1886, Sahuaro Ranch was planted with pecan and citrus orchards, and raised cattle, horses and hogs. Bartlett constructed an ensemble of buildings for the workers employed here, many of which are still standing."

"The 17-acre ranch features 13 original historic buildings and structures, a rose garden, barnyard and orchards. Lush grounds include citrus, figs, date palms, olives, apricots, peaches, pecans and grapes. Visitors will see peacocks, chickens and small animals."
