The original.

Our story began in Old Town Scottsdale, where we opened our doors in May of 2015. We chose this bustling neighborhood for its vibrant mix of culture, art, and tourism, it felt like the perfect place to share our passion with both locals and visitors from all over. Since day one, our goal has been to create a welcoming spot where anyone can unwind and enjoy a great beer, whether you're a seasoned craft beer lover or just stopping by on your Scottsdale adventure. If you're in town, we've always got something fresh on tap for you.

A storied address.

Long before there was beer here, there were bullets. From 1975 until the early 2000s, this corner of Scottsdale Road and Goldwater Boulevard was home to Mandall's Shooting Supplies, a bright pink gun store known for its imported firearms and an underground shooting range with six 50-foot concrete tunnels. Out front stood the shop's iconic  large sign featuring it's mascot, a teddy bear holding a machine gun. Before that, it was a Corvette shop.

Brewed below.

When we took over the space in 2015, the building had been sitting empty for years. We kept what we could. The old range lanes now hold our fermentation tanks, and the iconic bear logo lives on as Machine Gun Teddy, our award winning brown ale. Every pint poured in Old Town carries a little of that history with it.
