Flagstaff Brewing Company
Best Downtown Brewery in Flagstaff · AZ
Ponderosa-country lagers since 1994
Flagstaff Brewing Company, open on Route 66 since 1994, was among the first brewpubs to bring craft beer to the high country. It pours its own house-brewed ales alongside what it bills as northern Arizona's biggest whiskey selection, with pub fare, a patio, and regular live music.
A relaxed downtown mainstay for three decades, 'Flag Brew' remains a locals' bar at heart — a place to catch a band, a game, and a fresh pint after a day on the mountain.
