Description
Goldwater Brewing Co. began with a family tradition of brewing, rooted in Chad and Dillon McClelland’s childhood experiences with their father, Greg, an avid home brewer since 1986. What started as a hobby in their garage evolved into a shared passion, leading to the establishment of a 10bbl brewery with three locations.

The turning point came when Chad, inspired by his travels through craft beer scenes worldwide, decided to turn their family passion into a professional endeavor. With full support from Greg, Dillon, and their brother-in-law, Jimmy, the family set out to build their dream. After months of planning, experimenting, and overcoming challenges, Goldwater Brewing Co. officially opened its doors on May 1, 2015.

Their success stems from the combined strengths of each member: Greg’s business acumen, Chad’s brewing expertise, Dillon’s creative vision, and Jimmy’s operational skills. Together, they’ve built a brand known for quality, innovation, and community. As they continue to grow and introduce new, exciting beers, the family remains committed to their roots and the people who have supported them from the start.

Cheers to the future of fresh, local craft beer!

Willebecher draft at Goldwater Brewery in Scottsdale, Arizona. The pour is a clear golden yellow with a minimal white head. The aroma is crisp fresh pine with herbal and floral hop. The taste is a clean fresh blend of the herbal, pine and softly bitter floral. The palate is light to medium bodied, mineral and a slight dank to the finish. Nice and fresh.

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a murky copper gold body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers some guava and a sense of pineapple. The taste delivers fresh tangy guava juiciness and then thin pineapple and an odd sort of malt sensation. Decent.

32oz crowler pours with a somewhat hazy deep gold body with thin copper hues and supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up clementine, tangerine and a bit of guava and mango. The taste delivers tangy and modestly bitter citrus clementine and tangerine juicy goodness. Below those brighter notes are thin layers of sweet soft juicy guava and mango and a sliver of cantaloupe. This is real nice.
