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!!

Aromas are a blend of resin, sweat, citrus and malt. Flavors are similar to nose, well balanced between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Finish follows flavors. Nice beer.

Auroras are malt, maybe corn, crackers. Flavors are similar to nose, mildly bittersweet. Okay body and slightly soft carbonation. Definitely drinkable but nothing special.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear deep gold colored body that supports a white head of foam that leaves behind spotty lacing. The modest aroma offers up grapefruit, lemon, lime and some white wine grapes followed by a bit of cantaloupe nuanced maltiness. The taste delivers a blend of lime, grapefruit, cantaloupe and malts. Interesting mixture here that's feels a little disjointed. To midway it picks up a some orange marmalade hop flavor and a bit more malt sweetness to create a bit more balance. This does have a nice level of hop bitterness but this doesn't come into flavor harmony. This is still better than most haysys.

Pint can pours with a clear copper amber colored body that supports a full light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up lightly roasted crystal malts, a dash of malty esters and then somewhat vague hoppiness. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of spicy to pine like hop bitterness and lightly roasted crystal malts. This comes across as a very lightly roasted Cascadian Dark Ale. Another sip brings up a thin layer of bitter grapefruit hops. This works.
