Brewpubs in Fountain Hills, AZ

“Oh, yeah! Gotta check this place out. Top marks. The variety and taste of their beers, knowledge and friendliness of their servers, and unique and on-point theme of Bone Haus makes this one of the top overall breweries to visit in Arizona.

Three different pilsners (German, New Zealand, and West Coast) that individually all nail it is a rarity. Some Oktoberfest kegs still had some life in them, the marzen and festbier, both of which also hit like they're supposed to. There were more full-bodied and dark beers, too. Geez, these folks are killing it.

Bar service was off-the-charts friendly, even if you're the one out-of-state brewery tourist in the middle of a crowd of locals. Does Sam the Bartender know and speak the names of each local as they come and go? Dude's good, you guys. Didn't catch the name of the younger bartender, but his friendliness game was on par with Sam. Both these gents knew their beers, and gladly shared their wisdom along with history and stories about the brewery, Arizona, and of course lost treasure.

Parking's easy and the place was easy to find. Excellent signage out front that probably would have looked even more impressive at night. Local, small size. Some patio seating, a few interior 4-tops, and a handful of barstool seats at the bar are available. Locals and bartenders were all in a chatter about upcoming live music and food trucks, so these folks are genuinely doing everything right. Vibe-wise, Bone Haus is all-in on their brand and theme, namely skulls, death, cemeteries, and Arizona history mixed with folklore. It feels like 'Red Dead Redemption' meets 'Coco.' It's all sort of awesome there. It's almost like going to a theme park, but for beer and more macabre.

Patronize these folks. A lot, if you're smart.“
