Description
Our Story
Hello! We are an independent craft brewery in downtown Phoenix, on the border of the Roosevelt and Encanto neighborhoods. Our beers explore the boundaries of what it means to be a farmhouse style beer— we include high quality local and seasonal ingredients to create unique, flavorful beers and explore a wide range of styles from funky saisons and sours to modern IPAs and ales.
We are located in the building that was home to beloved Easley’s Fun Shop for over 70 years and are aiming to continue the tradition of a family business with a strong focus on community. Our small foundational team is the beating heart behind the delicious beer and personal connection in our space and we are so thankful for their energy and creativity in these early months.
We opened our doors in May 2022 but we started growing our vision 2 years earlier. Working remotely and isolating indoors, we envisioned a business that would contribute to the community– create connections among our neighbors, highlight artists and small businesses and support local organizations and causes.
Through our beers, we purchase the highest quality ingredients we can find, purchase seasonal fruits and source local grains and malts from local farms that feed our community and demonstrate sustainable practices.
Through our taproom, we look to cultivate an inclusive space that is welcoming to everyone, creating connection through our very varied interests. We seek out high quality non-alcoholic options so more people feel welcome in our space, and we aim to fill our taproom with personal details, buying small, promoting artists, highlighting local businesses that we admire and hosting live music.
Through our choices, we have committed to donate 1% of our revenue to 1% for the Planet. Additionally, we regularly support local organizations both through monetary donations and by sharing our space and our platform.
We will promote what inspires us and encourage community engagement. Breweries can be about more than just beer and as we grow, we will continually look for ways to realize our vision. So, welcome to our new home at Roses by the Stairs! May you find delicious cold beer, a delightful board game, friendly people and creative inspiration within!!

Can from Tavour. Pours gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is dank, resin and summer fruit notes. Med body. Pretty dry. Nicely bitter. Dank, resin, mixed non-tropical non-berry fruits for flavor. Very light peach note in the long finish. Good drink.

Can from Tavour: pours gold with white head. Aroma is dank nugs, resin, lemon rinds. Taste is not very bitter, but fairly dry. Resiny notes abound. Terpenes and hop combo giver good verisimilitude of weed.

Can: pours hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is loads of mango, papaya, citrus and pineapple. Taste is sweet, perhaps a little hop burned and definitely as it sat it got a little more of that, still a pretty well executed beer but not the best I had from them.

Aromas are mainly malt with touches of floral, spice and rice. Flavors are similar to nose. Starts off slightly sweet going to bittersweet and back to a mild sweet finish. Decent body and carbonation. Pretty good rice pilsner.

Canned Jan 2026, drunk May 2, 2026.
Some floral notes with a good, deep spiciness and a touch of caramelized bacon. Rich malts but it smells properly attenuated. Sourdough and cherry blossoms. Really interesting stuff, with a good balance.
Rich and malty with a firm but not overbearing bitterness to balance. Dries out nicely on the end. Fairly bready, but not too much so, with floral notes. Lots of cherry blossom character. Wood stave character (other than the cherry blossom) is minimal, serving mostly to keep it dry and round.
