Came to Badwater brewing with my fiancee on July 4th weekend. On saturday to be exact. Walked from goldwater to Badwater in the sweltering heat. Just the thought of having a cold craft beer was in my thoughts as we turned the corner.
Badwater is on a street with small shops around. It was a little bit hard to locate. As GPS said "you have arrived" I saw the Badwater sign up on the building. Windows were tinted and looked closed. I was bummed. We walked to the door and gave it a tug.. ahhhhhhh... they were opened!. Upon entrance looked to my right.. there was a glass case with memorabilia and shirts and stuff. To the left.. chairs and tables. And directly in front. A long bar.
We were immediately greeted by the their female bartender. Super nice. We had great conversation. She gave us the break down on their beers.
IPA - on tap. Well balanced. Not too hoppy but pretty refreshing.
Saison - bottled. I think their Saison was the best out of the 3 that Badwater had.
Lager- on the thick side and matly. I'm ok with thick malty beers but the Saison was the better of the 3 in my opinion.
They also sell 6 packs of different types of beers. You're able to put together a 6 pack for a few bucks. As we stayed at Hyatt place- Badwater was literally 162 steps away.
Badwater has really good things going on. Would come back when we come back to scottsdale.
