Four Peaks Brewing Company

1340 E. 8th St., #104, Tempe, AZ 85281 | (480) 303-9967

Four Peaks Brewing Company is the original destination for great Tempe craft beer. Their signature brews, including the Scottish style Kilt Lifter, 8^th Street Pale Ale and Hop Knot IPA, can be found all over town, but they are best experienced at their location on 8^th Street in Tempe.

Originally a creamery building dating back to the 19th century, this charming red brick structure seems custom-made for its brewing operations, large bar and sunny outdoor patio. You can tour this historic building and its brewing operations every Saturday. While beer is the main draw to this neighborhood hangout, food comes in at a close second. The Four Peaks beer bread sandwiches, perfectly seasoned fries, enchiladas and pizzas are some of the best. And, if you don’t get a chance to visit their original location while in Tempe, don’t worry. You can taste Four Peaks before leaving town at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Terminal 4!
