| - I have been stopping in at Phx Ale since it opened it doors. I stop in about once or twice a month. The place is small, little tasting room connected to the brewery/warehouse. They have continued to make the tasting room better - added an actual bar top, put in a few TVS; but it is a very low key place. Management really supports the local community, so they have local artwork displayed around the tasting room. It fills the plain walls, but I could see this as being a little overwhelming or tacky. You come here to try their beer, there is no food but there are food trucks that will park in the parking lot on certain days. The beers seem to be getting better as the brewery expands their line-up. I believe they are up to seven beers, they originally had three. The Ironwood Imperial Porter is legit! Even if you are not one to drink darker beers, its worth a try. This is my favorite as the beers are more English style and I prefer hoppy beers and the Phx Ale Camelback IPA doesn't really do it for me. It is good, just not what I look for in an IPA. Another plus is that you will order your beers from the owners (usually). They are very friendly, knowledgeable and laid back.
I highly recommend Phoenix Ale Brewery, don't have high expectations in regards to aesthetics, but it is all about experiencing the beer.
