Scottsdale Beer Company had the feel of a large chain to me. Not necessarily in a bad why but still somehow just had that feel. The restaurant/brewery is very large with a huge bar and tons of table seating. The service was average and we did not have any food, but the menu did look really good. Many of the food items looked tasty and interesting. I wasn't as excited about the beer menu. I mean, it looked good, just not as large of a variety as I would like to see. I did try two, the Bandito Brown (ok) and the Texas Tea Double Chocolate Imperial Stout (good).
