Next February, the 7th Annual Arizona Beer Week is coming to your local brewery far and wide across the state.

Local craft-brew fans and aficionados, or beer novices looking for a taste of something new, will have the opportunity to witness and enjoy new beer, food, brewing techniques and more for the nine-day celebration of beer.

The Strong Beer festival will be returning once again to the Steele Indian School Park in uptown Phoenix on Saturday, Feb. 11. You definitely won’t want to miss out on these brews.

This year, there have been some change ups in the local beer scene. Papago Brewing Company was recently acquired by a Tempe brewery, and Pedal Haus Brewery expanded after only being open for nine months.
