| - Woohoo! This place just topped my list of breweries to visit when I want some cold, quality, craft beers when trying to beat that Arizona heat when visiting the Scottsdale area.
I'm from San Diego, so not to sound snobbish but it's safe to say that I know good beer. Sometimes traveling to other states provides less than exemplary craft beer experiences when compared to my hometown. Such is not the case here at Goldwater. Goldwater Brewing simply makes great beer. Like, really great beer. Like, I miss the place already kind of great beer.
I went through all their IPAs and Pale Ales because that's my preference and being from SD that's basically what you're required to drink, and I'm happy to say that Goldwater delivers on all of these styles. They might seem a little different or maybe slightly less hoppy, but they sure are good and extremely tasty brews. I'd dissect them one by one but I'm a little late getting to this review so the details are eluding me, but overall, I remember being very pleased with everything that I sampled.
Aside from their Pales and IPAs, they have some other offerings that are pretty solid too. Their Desert Rose cactus ale is pretty unique, delicious, light, and refreshing. It's a little on the sweeter side but still easily drinkable, especially on those warmer days. What I was really impressed with though was their Scotch Ale. I really don't drink a lot of Scotch Ales but when they area really good, I remember them. Goldwater's Scotch is one of the best Scotch Ales that I have had. I'm an IPA guy but for some reason their Scotch was a major standout and I'd gladly grab a pint of it on my next visit. I don't know why but I was really impressed with it. Seriously give it a try.
Aside from making great brews, Goldwater has and extremely comfortable atmosphere with great service. This place is a great environment to relax and indulge in some excellent craft beer. It's clean, it has a simple yet very rustic charm to it that just makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. The guy running working the counter slinging the beers was totally cool too and it just overall made for a really great experience for any craft beer enthusiast. If you don't like this place I simply don't have enough words to describe what is wrong with you.
Anyway, I was only in Scottsdale for a short time so I really had to do my research and choose one brewery that I could visit. I chose Goldwater. I feel that I definitely chose wisely. This this is going to be the premier destination when it comes to craft breweries to visit when I'm in Scottsdale. The overall rating is pretty much accurate, although I give it five stars for offering so many different styles and doing each pretty well. Yeah, this place place is just that good. I really hope I find an excuse to be back in the area in the near future because I'd be happy to visit again...and again..and again.
Seriously, folks, it's that good.
