| - *Update/Edit: Frustrated that they are closed during the daytime. It's a catch-22 because our group would like to go here but they're not open, so we go support other places. But then most of the time now we're set on going to our other places, so we don't make the special effort to go to Fate at all when they happen to be open. Decisions to close like this probably impact a lot of customers because the way you find out is usually by the frustrating experience of showing up for a pint thirsty, hungry, etc. and seeing the sign. On top of that, some of us sort of forgave them but then honestly forgot about the restricted hours and so we showed up at lunch and got the closed sign again. We can't be alone in having this happen.*
Flavorful ales can be found here in Scottsdale on Shea, just a bit east of Scottsdale road on the south side of the road. Cream Ale, Pale Ale, Smoked Porter, Brown Ale - I tried them all and appreciated the pronounced hop influence, especially in the pale ale.
Stunning bar and brewery atmosphere with a modern, high-end feel to it all. Indoor and outdoor patio seating available. They might be a victim of their own success though because I can see it filling up quite fast during prime hours.
Wood fired pizzas made in your sight at the back and mine was very good. Perfect size for a really hungry person or two people to share if they're going to have salads first. Salads looked tasty but didn't try.
Staff was incredibly polite and professional, which is something sorely missing in the service industry these days. They were quick to answer questions about the beers and offered some helpful literature on their house brews.
Guest taps are available if your tastes lean somewhere else. Mongo IPA, Scrimshaw Pils, Bruery Mischief, among others were noted.
Limited parking in the front facing Shea, but more parking is available in the back. Looks like dinner hours only (for now).
