Ultimate 6er | Six Arizona Beers to Weather Any Weather
The snow is melting. The sun is shining. Spring has sprung! Or has it? This time of year, the weather can never seem to make up its mind. One day could be a sunny day at the beach. The next, you may need to ask Noah to build another ark. Whatever the weather, you’ll need a beer to make it through. These six Arizona Beers are sure to help you withstand any weather.
Wild Wind

If March’s weather was any indication, the country is in for a windy season. Anyone willing to brave the gales is going to need a beverage that is able to keep them from blowing away. This decadent oatmeal stout from The Perch in Chandler is just the beer for the job.
Thunderstorms
Nut Brown | Oak Creek Brewing

When lightning strikes and the rain falls with a vengeance, we are forced indoors. There is no beer better for hunkering down and finally getting to that spring cleaning (or some last minute taxes) than this award winning English ale from Oak Creek Brewing in Sedona. The notes of spice can give you the oomph you need to get through the grueling taxes and yes, even that pile of clothes in the closet you meant to take to Goodwill before Christmas.
90° In April
Tio Oso’s | Uncle Bear’s Brewery

When the weather acts like it may skip the spring season all together, we immediately think to flock to the beach, but the water is still sitting at an icy temperature from winter. It’s time to head to the back yard, dip the toes in a kiddie pool, close our eyes and dream of a beach somewhere in Mexico. Tio Oso’s from Uncle Bear’s, based in Queen Creek, is the perfect Mexican lager to round out the image. Now, all you need is an endless parade of street tacos, and maybe a lime to go with this easy drinking, all around great beer.
Snow in May
Nocturnal Opulence | Arizona Wilderness Brewery

It has been known to happen – you get the kayak out of storage, strap it on top of the car and head to bed – and then you wake up the next morning to a fresh layer of powder. You’ll just have to wait until it melts back down tomorrow. It’s time to head inside, load up the fireplace, and get a little more of that reading done. There’s nothing like cozying up by the hearth, reading Pride and Prejudice (again), and sipping on a bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout like this one from Arizona Wilderness in Gilbert.
Three Straight Days of Rain
Conserve and Protect | Mother Road Brewing

It’s hard not to feel a little under the weather, when the rain seems to pour forever. This golden hued kölsch-style is sure to brighten up your day with the first sip. Until the sun finally returns, this beer from Mother Road in Flagstaff will shine for you. A portion of proceeds go to the Arizona Game and Fish Department to help with conservation efforts throughout the state, so you can do good and drink a beer at the same time.
Perfect Sunny Day
Humphrey’s Hefe | Lumberyard Brewing

We all know the reference, “Not too hot. Not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.” That type of weather seems to be a rarity nowadays, but when it does happen, this light and lovely Hefe (which some like to pair with a lemon wedge) from Lumberyard Brewing in Flagstaff is the perfect beer to have in hand when sitting on the deck enjoying the weather or playing fetch with the dog in the backyard.
Spring is known for going in like a lion and out like a lamb, but as long as you have one of these beers in hand, you are sure to be able to weather whatever weather the season throws at you.
