I love beer, and I love breweries and brewery tours. But I think SanTans beer is pretty awful, I think their beer tastes flat and dull across the board. I feel the same way about Four Peaks beer which makes sense when you realize that the founder of SanTan is the original head brewer of Four Peaks. These are the two biggest breweries in Arizona so props to them for that. But I think the problem is that they don't soften the hard local water well enough and it negatively affects the final product. Their QC lab in the brewery space is also one of the dirtiest QC rooms that I've ever seen and I'm a professional scientist.
FWIW the service of the employees is fantastic and the brewery tour is pretty fun. They also started distilling spirits which are also pretty good. I think it's worth noting that the distillation process would fix the water quality issue that I have with their beer which makes me feel confident that that's the problem.
Because of the friendly service and environment and the spirits I'm giving them an extra star. But there are tons of other craft breweries around here with better beer (Pedal Haus, Fate, Desert Monk).

Great experience! I love the outdoor, garden setting. The band was phenomenal! The staff were pleasant. There is an onsite food truck and flowing beer and spirits.

Accessible parking and entrance.

This was our first brewery tour with our grown sons. We had a great experience. I wanted my husband to have a memorable experience with his boys, and our tour guide rocked it! My husband has a great time with his boys, enjoying a beer and learning more about the process of brewing. It was actually the best of both worlds: I don't like beer, and they had bourbon and margaritas. Win WIN ? for the whole family.

Amazing patio scene at one of Arizona's best breweries!

Had an amazing distiller's tour and tasting with Craig. Was by far the best distillery tour we have ever been on. We learned so much about the process of distilling and the spirits at the end were fantastic. A must do if visiting the area.

So sick of living next to an amphitheater, thanks to you. If I live half a mile away and it’s obnoxious even with my windows closed, then don’t you think it’s plenty loud enough for your “patrons”? Loud enough that you can even turn it down A LOT and the people there can still have a good time? Is this place just run by a total narcissist or what? I’ve politely asked for the loud concerts to be held a a lower volume before. Explained how irritating it is ESPECIALLY on WEEKNIGHTS, but it falls on deaf ears. “Oh, we don’t think it’s that loud”.

Did a tour here during the summer and while it was super informational be prepared to be hot. There were water stations everywhere to keep us hydrated and that was perfect. I felt like I learned a lot about the brewing process. It was interesting to hear how the brewer got started super cool Navy guy. Walked away having an appreciation for IPA’s which I previously did not like. Purchased some of the sweet whiskey for dessert. Can’t wait to go again!

We had our rehearsal dinner here & had the best time! The group tour was fun, educational, & the samples were great. The dinner & drinks were absolutely delicious, & the hosts were accommodating & helpful. Would definitely recommend having an event here!

My wife and I did the tour on a Saturday. Craig was our guide. The tour exceeded our expecetaions. It was longer than advertised but that was a good thing. Craig is very knowledgable and entertaining. We personally like the educational touch of the tour. Samples were good, conversations were good. All around an excellent time.

We are sick of the concerts! It’s obvious! Doesn’t matter if our windows are closed we can hear you inside our home all night! Forget about enjoying our patio during nice weather. Your music overpowers the volume level of our music we play at home because we don’t want to disturb ppl. You have no right to disturb us all. You’re having loud concerts next to residential neighborhoods! It doesn’t need to be so damn loud to have a good time. Hope you like the police shutting you down and chandler noise fines $$$

We booked a tour this past weekend. I wish I remembered our tour guides name (he’s also a teacher just for reference) he was absolutely great! He was very informative, humorous and had some good trivia questions for our group. He was awesome! Biggest downfall I didn’t see on the reviews I read was the actual tour is not air conditioned. I guess looking back it would be difficult for it to be air conditioned but imagine being in a warehouse in Phoenix during summer with absolutely no A/C and hardly any air flow. That’s insane. I think we would’ve passed on the tour knowing that. They do offer water stations throughout the tour which is 100% necessary. There were also a couple of fans that were around which if you get in front of makes the heat somewhat bearable. You do get to enter their freezer a couple of times which felt great but still bizarre. I’d hold off on the tour during hot months and attend when the weather is cooler. Unless you enjoy sweating bullets. I also want to add you wear protective goggles during the whole tour and it is so hot your goggles constantly fog up. Enough about the heat, just wanted to warn/prepare others. Last negative I want to mention is there is a lady that works in the front whose attitude was overwhelmingly unnecessary. The way she speaks to other associates let alone customers is beyond unprofessional. Other than that nice and clean facility. Good gift idea!

This was such a great experience for my family! We all had a great time. Brandon was an amazing tour guide and did a wonderful job!! Highly recommend this tour!

Phil Christy

Brandon did a phenomenal tour! We never knew all the history or detailed process of making beer and spirits. Thrilled we did this tour. Sharing and encouraging all our friends to do this tour.
