Our 21 Top Picks for Arizona Beer Week
![]()
Arizona Beer week starts Saturday and we are so freakin' excited! After spending hours looking at each and every of the more than 150 events that will take place between Saturday, February 18th and Saturday, February 25th we have come up with a list of our favorites.
We tried to narrow it down to seven but that wasn't going to work. Then we tried 14 -- that wasn't going to work either. We ended up with 21 -- three for each day plus we added a bonus tasting of the day. It was still a tough call since there are so many awesome events but we think you'll like our picks.
