Brewpub Kitchen to Offer “Picnic Menu”
Monday, July 21st & Tuesday, July 22nd
We’re getting a new kitchen floor in the Tempe brewpub! Isn’t that exciting? We know you’re stoked for us, but we’re going to have to limit our menu for a couple days until the job is complete.

So… the kitchen will close completely on Sunday, July 20th at 8 p.m. and we will offer a fun little “Picnic Menu” on Monday, July 21st and Tuesday, July 22nd.

Our full menu will return by lunch on Wednesday the 23rd.

Clarity. It’s a wonderful thing. It can allow one to see the big picture, it can stop arguments, end confusion… and it can even make beer more appealing. OK, different clarity but to us it’s just as edifying. We’re obviously talking about clear - not hazy - beer. To us clarity is a constant battle and something we’re always trying to improve upon because we feel haziness/cloudiness/turbidity is something that takes away from the enjoyment of having a beer.

And we really do have beer. People don’t simply swallow beer. In addition to tasting it, we smell it, feel its coolness and body and, of course, we see it (we don’t really hear it, that’s reserved for the ball game or the concert or the sounds of the friends with whom we have it).

Four Peaks Celebrates 10 years!!

July 1st, 1998. Where were you? I can tell you I was still in my twenties and working for America West Vacations. That is, until I began a new endeavor helping out an old college chum, Randy, open up a brand new kitchen at the brewery he was a partner in.

The place was called Four Peaks Brewing Company, perhaps you’ve heard of it. The location was a converted creamery from the end of the 19th Century in north Tempe, on 8th Street to be exact, ring a bell? I thought it was an okay move, they were only going to be open for dinner (4 o’clock to prep, 5 o’clock to serve), it was down on University three miles from my day job, and they promised me free beer! Who could’ve said no? Well, that was impetus enough for me to say, “You know what, sounds cool, I’ll hang around until you’re situated and then get outta your hair.”
