Craft Beverages
Mesa, Arizona’s craft beverage scene brings together independent breweries, a veteran-owned cidery, Arizona wine, locally made spirits and creative cocktail bars. Many of these destinations are concentrated in Downtown Mesa, making it easy to pair a tasting flight or cocktail with restaurants, public art, live entertainment and other things to do along Main Street.
Breweries & Taprooms
Mesa breweries range from intimate neighborhood taprooms to lively biergartens with food and outdoor seating. Downtown Mesa offers the greatest concentration, while breweries in other parts of the city add distinctive traditions and settings to the mix.
Cider
Cider Corps is a veteran-owned craft cidery founded in Mesa by brothers Jason and Josh Duren. The business grew from a therapeutic hobby Jason began after being injured during military service into a gathering place shaped by cider, community and support for veterans.
Its Downtown Mesa taproom serves creative cider flavors and tasting flights alongside Myke’s Pizza. Check the current menu for seasonal releases, limited batches and alcohol-free options.
Cocktails & Spirits
Mesa’s cocktail scene ranges from locally distilled whiskey to hidden Downtown bars. Visitors can tour a distillery, order cocktails made with Arizona spirits or seek out a speakeasy-inspired experience after dinner.
