James Porter, Eddie Matney, and Others Team Up With Local Brewery to Make Their Own Beers
Sure, we're used to enjoying the food of top-notch Valley chefs, but when's the last time we chug-a-lugged their culinary styles in beer form?![]()
Eddie Matney of Eddie's House is one of four chefs customizing his own beers with Scottsdale's Sonoran Brewing Company.
The craft beer experts at Scottsdale's Sonoran Brewing Company are setting out to change that. They've teamed up with four, well-known Valley chefs as part of the first-ever Sonoran Brewing Company's (SBC) Inaugural Chef Series Beer Collaboration, where each chef will design and brew his own beer with the help of SBC brewmaster Zach Schroeder.
And talk about a local focus: the beers will be made using local ingredients, labels will be designed by local artist Ellison Keomaka, and local charities will receive a portion of the proceeds from each beer, which will be released throughout Arizona in 22 oz. bottles and on draft in select locations.
"I'm excited to craft my own style of beer," says chef Eddie Matney of Eddie's House, one of the participants, "and hopefully people enjoy it as much as they enjoy my food."
