| - For someone who doesn't even technically live in Arizona, I've been to Four Peaks A LOT. It's my boyfriend's favorite brewery/restaurant/hang out spot, and if he had the choice, we'd go every night, even though it's a 30 minute drive away. While it may not be my choice for every Friday and Saturday night that I'm in Phoenix, it's a great, laid back spot to grab some food and a beer.
My favorite beers are the Hefeweizen and some of the seasonals, like this week's chocolate porter. Prices are right, and there's usually an interesting special to try. You can really tell that the brewmaster loves his craft - I'm especially looking forward to trying the much-touted pumpkin porter this fall!
For food, definitely go with the chicken strips. They're hand made and incredibly juicy and flavorful. Not too greasy, and they come with a side of delicious fries. Other recommendations include the spinach salad with blackened chicken, the daily specials (like the buffalo burger or camarones a la diabla) or the steak sandwich on beer bread.
Overall, I'd give Four Peaks 4.5 stars for its great local vibe and cheap and tasty food and beer. The lack of air conditioning in the summer is a definite bummer, though. Rounding up to 5 stars for the sake of my relationship and the fact that it won't always be this hot out ;)
