This place not only brews their own beer, but has a lot of awesome guest taps to go along with a huge selection in their beer coolers.

A must go for any hophead travelling to the Phoenix area. Non descript location in a strip center in South Scottsdale. Go there about every other week with a new beer menu each time. 30+ beers on draft with usually a cask offering. Very knowledgeable staff and surpisingly good food. GREAT selection of bottle beers to either take home or enjoy there.

Papago Brewing is an ’oasis’ of beer here in the Valley. I’m not a regular, but I do go every 2 months or so. 30 or so rotating taps, and a beer cooler with an incredible selection. The prices are also VERY reasonable and cheaper than most liquor/grocery stores. The staff is ultra friendly and knowledgeable. The food is pretty good too! My only complaint is the music... Every time I’m in there they have it cranked to the point that conversation is difficult without yelling....even when the place is empty...

While in Phoenix for a week on business , I got the opportunity to check out a few good beer bars. I was definitely looking forward to trying Papago since I heard so much about it. The bar does not have much curb appeal. It is tucked away in a ugly Pink plaza (Papago Plaza). I drove by it twice before I found it. The place is about 1200 square feet with a nice size bar and a wall of fridges filled with beer. You can get some good stuff, they sell singles and you can mix a sixer or grab a beer and have the bartender open it. They have a solid selection in the fridge. Good cali and Colo selection. Lots of Belgians. They have 30 taps with about 4 or 5 used by their local homebrews (although they don’t brew on premises). Not impressed with their homebrews. I mainly stuck to the micros on draft. I went here 2 nights and both nights I sat at the bar. The patrons were really friendly. So was the barstaff. The bartenders knew a lot about beer. They always knew the ABV’s and gave pretty solid recom

Recently visited Scootsdale and found this place. I was quite surprised. They had a ton of beer in the cooler. Dogfish,Avery, Port, Ballast Point, etc. too many to list. They had 30 on tap. Great place to get some quality beer. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Best beer selection in the valley. You can take out from the cooler and bring it home too. 30 taps, and just a load of fun. The Orange Blossom is quite good too! Try the beer bites with the Chipolte Ranch.

What can I say that hasn’t been said already? 30+ taps, and not a BMC among ’em! Tons of bottles, which can be bought to go. A very solid pizza. Fast, knowledgable and friendly service. Proper glassware. This is THE place!
