| - Papago completely rocks. They adhere to the philosophy that yellow fizzy beer is for wussies. They have 30 taps and 2 casks, all devoted solely to good beer, both local and imported. Papago makes several of its own beers, harkening back to when it first opened and was a combination homebrew supply store and bar. Their own beers are great, but you also really get some treats and amazing beers on their other taps -- it changes weekly, so check out their website (http://www.papagobrewing.com/) for the latest. In addition, they carry over 400 different bottled beers, which you can buy and then drink there in the bar. The first year that they were open, they used to offer "Beer Education 101" classes, which were really awesome, I became an expert in a variety of beer styles in a short time period. I also was exposed to so many of Arizona's microbrews -- who knew? You'd think this was Boulder, CO or something with all the great brewing around here. Though it's changed since becoming a brewpub and lost a little of its educational focus, it's still my favorite pub in the whole world. I don't live there anymore, but I've been known to drive to AZ just for a beer run at Papago.
