Grand Canyon American Pilsner

Our American Pilsner is a medium bodied Pilsner with a beautiful balanced body, creamy dense head and a hint of Saaz hops.

One of the most spectacular views of the Grand Canyon is also one of the most photographed. Known for its crystal clear water and 120 foot vertical drop, the Havasupai Falls is located on the west end of the canyon.

The Grand Canyon Brewing Company is located in historic Williams, Arizona, gateway to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Stop in for great food and excellent beer the next time you're near. 

Grand Canyon Sunset Amber

Our Sunset Amber Ale was inspired by the natural colors of the canyon's beautiful sunset with its robust head, well balanced body and rich flavor of caramel malt.

There is no specific point to best view the canyon's majestic colorful sunsets - just good places and better places. The canyon is particularly noted for the wonderful bright colors of the sunset transforming the canyon's buttes and points into a beautiful canvas of unimaginable views.

Papago Hopago

The Imperial India Pale Ale, also known as the Double Imperial Pale Ale (DIPA) is an invention that only an American brewer would dream of - an extreme version of an existing and already extreme beer style, the India Pale Ale. In many cases, the words "Imperial" and "Double" have become interchangeable when it comes to beer styles.

Like the standard India Pale Ale, either English or American hop varieties can be used in this higher alcohol, highly hopped brew, but American hops are most commonly used and people have come to expect the citrus or pine character of American hops in Imperial India Pale Ales. No matter their country of origin, a very liberal use of hops is the key to a successful version of this style and most of them contain a lot of malt as well in order to allow for higher alcohol content.

The origin of the Imperial India Pale Ale is somewhat controversial, but many credit Vinnie Cilurzo, now owner of Russian River Brewing (CA), with the creation of the style while he was brewing at Blind Pig Brewing Company, also in California. 

Papago Orange Blossom

Fruit Beers are beers that are flavored with fruits, fruit extracts or fruit syrups. The flavor of the beer varies with the fruit, but a Fruit Beer should have a relatively balanced between the base beer prior and the fruit addition.

Fruit Beers need not be sweet. Many are sour in character or even balanced between sweet and sour, while still maintaining a fruit flavor. Fruit Beers often conjure up an image of soda or fruit juice, but the best Fruit Beers can be complex and satisfying to even the most masculine of beer drinkers. 

SanTan Hefeweizen

SanTan Hefeweizen is an unfiltered Bavarian wheat bear, effervescent and sweet, with an unmistakable banana-clove character. Often paired with a lemon or an orange, SanTan embraces this American enhancement of the beer however we still believe it is the best the way it is brewed. The fruitiness of Hefe pairs perfectly with curries and sweet dishes as well as fresh cheese such as Mozzarella and Chevre.

ABV: 5.0%

SanTan Devil's Ale

Devil's Ale™ is of the new breed of West Coast American Ales. Deep, golden maroon in color, Devil’s Ale is defined by a delicious citrus hop character derived from Cascade and Centennial hops grown in the Pacific Northwest and balanced with a firm caramel malt flavor.

Devil’s Ale pairs wonderfully with salmons and pork (i.e. BACON!) and goes best with sharp cheeses such as Cheddar and Colby. ABV: 5.5%

SanTan Epicenter Amber Ale

An American Amber Ale. A deep copper amber hue with a firm, toasted malt character, lightly sweet with a crisp dry finish. Epicenter has become a gateway ale for novice Craft Beer drinkers.

SunUp Light Rail Cream Ale

A classic American Style ale with a few twists.  More barley than commonly is used helps us to achieve a very pleasing mouth-feel and satisfying body.  We also use German Noble hops to balance the malt with a good amount of bittering and a super clean, slightly spicy finish.  This beer pairs well with just about any food and won’t overwhelm the flavors in any meal.

ABV: 4.6%

Thunder Canyon Deep Canyon Amber

American Ambers (known simply as Red Ales in some regions) were popularized in the hop-loving Northern California and the Pacific Northwest areas before spreading nationwide. Home brewers largely invented this particular beer style by creating American Pale Ales (APA) that are typically richer and sometimes darker than their APA cousins.

American Ambers have a rich, strong malt backbone but are generously hopped with citrusy American hops that provide a great deal of bitterness to offset the malt. American Ambers are sometimes hard to differentiate from APA's by color alone, as they can look very similar, but their flavor, rich in malt character typically gives them away.

Food Pairings:

American Amber Ales pair well with sharp cheeses, red meat poultry and fish. You'll also find American Ambers to be a wonderful companion to stews and chili.

 

Thunder Canyon Sandstone Cream

Cream Ales are one of the classic American "lawnmower" beers. They're relatively clean and refreshing without being too high in alcohol. But like some of their Light Lager cousins, they are usually brewed with adjuncts like corn as fermentables.

Cream Ales are brewed with ale yeast, but they were originally brewed by American brewers to compete with mass produced American lagers. They are also often brewed with six row barley which is not typically as high in quality as two row barley.

Cream Ales do make the occassional appearance in the craft beer world, particularly in brewpubs, but their use of adjunct ingredients like corn or rice keep them out of the strict definition of a craft beer.
