Stopped in for a quick visit with our out of town guests so they could enjoy some Arizona local brews. We were greeted immediately on entry and needed a few minutes to figure out what to order. They were so helpful and knowledgeable so it made making a choice a little easier. So many delicious brews and so little time so getting a flight was a great option to consider. We did not get anything from the food truck this time. We know that they always have something delicious to offer when we need a bite to eat. From what we know, the food trucks vary so it's nice to know there's something new nearly every time we need to satisfy any hunger needs. Everyone was happy with their brews and were happy we stopped in to quench some thirsts. We're confident in knowing that every time we bring anyone here they'll be able to find something special. Parking is easy and the entrance and food truck are easily accessible. A group of bicyclists easily rolled right in to the outside patio just as we were leaving so we're happy to see they've got lots of business coming in! We're confidence that locals and tourists alike that come in to check their offerings will find something that suits their tastes and needs!
In PHX for work. My normal stop is at Wren House but heard about other breweries that have good Hazy IPA's. After exploring and trying to remember recommendations from the last time I was in town & the web I chose The Shop. Awesome outdoor seating area and cozy inside. Weather was amazing so I sat outside. Scale: 1-5 Beer: 5 - Church Music IPA was my first beer. Very nice, juicy, and hazy with the smooth mouthfeel. I tried another IPA that was good but wished I had another Church music because it was so good. Atmosphere: 5 - Lots of wood! While stucco is king around here I felt the vibe that only wood provides. With exposed trusses inside and wooden beams, columns and shade outside I felt very comfortable. Service: 5 - Feisty bartender with a great personality that I really liked. She provided samples and cares about making your time here fun. Food: I missed it but they do have food trucks. Cultural/Political Agenda (1-5): 5 -No preachy nonsense--just beer, as it should be.
Quality/Quantity - Church Music - #1 seller and I can see why. So smooth; I could have drank this all night. Our guest who is a regular customer here got Gangster Cologne, another smooth beer. I could hang out here all the time. My favorite breweries are ones that do NOT sell food, and where they can focus only on the beer. BYO food. There is a food truck, and local restaurants within walking distance. And they probably have delivery from nearby places. According to our guest, the food trucks change often. Atmosphere - Cool local spot. This looked and felt like a "neighborhood business." Cool decor, see pictures. Indoor or heated outdoor seating. Not sure about the parking situation, because we just walked here from the house. Open 7 days a week from 11am or noon until 10pm, 11pm or midnight. Service - Good. Counter service. To-go also available, see picture. Price - $16 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016.
Came for the Church Music- stayed for the vibe! My husband's favorite beer right now is Church Music, so we made the trip to Tempe to try it straight from the source. We ordered a flight to sample a variety, but honestly, Church Music was the clear standout- the others didn't quite hit the mark for us. Ordering was quick and easy; you just walk up to the counter. The ambiance was super welcoming, laid-back, and a great place to hang out. Even though we weren't wowed by the full flight, we'll definitely be back for another fresh Church Music!
We visited The Shop Beer Co. in Tempe, looking for a laid-back vibe, good brews, and an inviting outdoor patio. The atmosphere lived up to its casual charm, though the music leaned a bit heavy for our taste. The Church Music IPA was a standout, boasting refreshing citrus notes, and the $10 flight (four brews) was a solid value. However, the outdoor space could use some attention to cleanliness, and parking is limited. Counter service and quick. Overall, a good spot for beer enthusiasts looking to relax and explore some quality local brews. Saluti
Really enjoyed all of the beers I tried here! My favorite was the Neonic: Orange Julius. I also enjoyed the coffee brown, fate, and Hefeweizen. Service was quick and there were plenty of seats inside. There's also a big patio in back but it was pretty crowded on the Sunday (also final four weekend so could've been due to that). I'll have to come back to try the neonic: booberry tart. Overall everything was great!
Came on a Saturday night and loved it. I am not a beer drinker but I loved the music they were playing and was really enjoying my time so I decided to get a sour beer. I love that it's dog friendly. The day we went they were selling street tacos right outside which was pretty convenient. Overall great spot. I hope they keep playing Latin music cuz I loved it.
One of my favorite local Tempe hangs. The Shop Beer Co has a cozy inside, expansive outside and is an overall great place to spend time with a partner, friend or especially groups. Depending where you sit, it can be intimate or casual. Very versatile. The bartenders are always friendly and kind, offering recommendations and explanations about the brews on the menu. And the beers are great! Of course, their flagship Church Music IPA is a must try-- a full bodied hazy with nice hoppy taste. They often have partnerships with other breweries or companies which I love. Little fridge of beers and NA drinks to go, too. Almost every day of the week they have food trucks if you're getting peckish. One of the best breweries around. Big fan!
Giving these 5 stars solely on the beer. However, it is some of the best beer I've had in AZ! So, well deserved. Cool ambiance - outdoor patio with trees growing right in the middle . And I heard it's dog friendly? Don't quote me on that...
We love coming here on the weekends to have a beer and sit outside in their outdoor area and our pup loves coming here too! It seems these days we don't go to too many places anymore without our loyal hound accompanying us. This is a great spot that has plenty of outdoor seating so you can bring your furry friend too! The beers here are excellent and they brew on site. When we last came in, my partner had the Coffee Brown Nitro and I had The Slasher (blood orange wheat). Both were great! The only downside to this place is that no food is served here, but on some days, there is someone selling food in the parking lot. The last time we were here, there was a guy selling whole pizzas. Since they don't serve food, they don't mind you bringing in your own, so we did. We enjoyed some Ethiopian food while have some great beers in their outdoor area. They also have lamp heaters available, so you'll keep warm during the winter. Definitely give this place a try if you like a low-key outdoor bar with fantastic draft beers!
Love the beer! My husband and I always enjoyed Church Music and we finally decided to go to the brewery. We had a flight and all the beers were exceptional. The flight comes with 4 beers. The Crispy is amazing! We decided to take some beer home too. They are dog friendly as well. Our dog enjoyed this spot and they have water bowls! Lots of shade in their patio too. Food trucks are scheduled. Great spot to hang out!
We stopped in for a few beers on a weekday afternoon. The bar area was quiet and mostly empty; it seems most people were enjoying the mild weather and the outdoor seating. We ordered a few flights and headed outdoors. The outdoor seating area is expansive with large picnic tables, some shaded and some in the sun. We plopped ourselves in the middle and got to work tasting our way through most of what was on tap. There was a wide assortment of beers, from some juice-forward sours that tasted like a mimosa to a flavored stout. Everything I sampled was enjoyable. The outdoor seating area appeared to be dog friendly. We were befriended by a sweet bulldog who was wandering (his humans asked if it was okay first!). Though they don't serve food other than pre-packaged snacks (popcorn, meat sticks, etc.), there was a food truck on site and pulled right up to the outdoor seating area. We didn't partake but it's good to know as an option.
Busy place with an adequate beer selection. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great service. Heaters for the cool evening outside. Church music hazy IPA is good.

My friend and I visited The Shop Beer Co for beer flights. The inside of the tap room is kind of small. Despite having water misters on the patio, no one was sitting outside because of the extreme heat (August, 2025). I like craft beer, but I don't drink it as much as I used to. I'm not the biggest IPA drinker, however my friend told me that the Church Music Juicy IPA is a favorite. She said that all of her friends that have tried it, liked it. For my flight, I ordered: Church Music, Coffee Brown, Lumberyard: Knotty, and Crispy. Unfortunately, I didn't care for any of the beers. I can usually find at least one craft beer that I like, but none of these were that great to me. They have quite a few beers, so maybe I need to try one of their other flavors. read more
Plenty of seating, mostly outdoor and super doggie friendly. As a previous Denver resident - this is real brewery vibes. Food truck only and some local packaged snacks. Church Music IPA is their claim to fame, the other IPAs on draft were good but nothing special. read more

We were in town for Arizona Craft Beer Week, we went to the Strong Beer Festival on Saturday and stayed on Sunday to check out some local breweries and restaurants. We choose The Shop because we had some of their beers at the festival and wanted to try more! What a great place with a large outdoor beer garden (patio area) great beers on tap and friendly people behind the bar! We got a few flights so we could try more of what they had to offer and we liked all of the beers! We will definitely come back on our next trip to Phoenix. read more
It's been too long since I was last here. The good news is that they have this delicious stout that was not available many moons ago. They have more snack options now and still have the food truck if you do want to eat something. These guys are always super friendly, it's pretty much the brewery code in AZ that you have to be awesome to work at a brewery. They have a unique bar/tasting room that is well built with décor reminiscent of a college dorm. Very chill spot, very good beer and in a sense of community that have a few guest taps from other breweries. read more

If you love a cool ambiance, nice selection of locally crafted beers, and a great location - The Shop Beer Co will be enjoyable to you! They are conveniently located at in a quiet business park area so I would imagine it can get busy at times. Parking was a bit tight but it really was worth it! They have both indoor and outdoor seating - complete with a couple of fully grown trees right on the patio! Dogs are welcome and there were a few adorable pups hanging out with their humans. The selection of beers was pretty diverse and I tried three different kinds of- with my personal absolute favorite being the Coffee Brown Nitro! OMG IT WAS SOOO GOOD! Church Music and Donkey Llama were also nice but the Coffee Brown just seemed to be the perfect blend of taste and punch. They also had some food available which was being prepared outside but I couldn't indulge at the time.Wait staff were aVery personable and helped with my beer selection being very informed about any and all that was beer related. Check them out! read more

From the atmosphere, to the tasty beers they brew, and the amazing staff, there's too many positives to name at Shop Beer Co! This is a local staple my partner and I visit weekly and highly recommend! The FYTM is my favorite beer and is only brewed here so you MUST check it out ASAP! Not to mention, it's steps from Tempe Town Lake and perfect for a rewarding beer after a long jog! read more
Don't come here. Ok. Just kidding. It's one of those places I'm hesitant to leave a review because I want to keep it to myself. This place is awesome and usually a low key place to enjoy some really amazing brews. Don't expect a restaurant or table service... although a food truck might manically appear on the weekend night. Good food trucks. Like AF kind of food trucks. And the beer. OMG the beer is so good. Also, thank you, thank you, thank you for no TVs. read more

This hidden gem is right around the corner from our home. We walk very often to explore their changing menu with their own and good collaborations with local breweries. My favorite beer in town is from them, The Crispy, a yummy blonde lager that is light and refreshing. They have connections with food trucks as they don't have their own food. This is such a great way to promote collaborations and we have learned and tasted so many yummy options when we visit depending on the truck there that day. It is not always available so check their Instagram page to know. Recommended if you're in the area! Picture: We purchase their cans and bring them with us when we go to the lake. That's how good they are! read more

The place for "Hop Heads" or the IPA guy/gal in your friend group. No TVs, no distractions, all beer is what Shop Beer Co. does best. The Church Music Juicy IPA is phenomenal, a beer for anyone, and one of those "adult juice boxes" type IPAs. I took a step further with the F.Y.I.T.M DIPA which was a solid, heavy beer to end on. It was nice to see that they have a rotating food truck station serving entrees but I had to grab a nut sack instead. Will be back no cap. read more

Birth place for Church Music. Lots of other great flavors. Food trucks rotate for lunch and dinner. Oxtail dumplings were fantastic at lunch. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and super chill staff. New favorite place in Tempe read more
A hidden gem! Four of us came on a Monday for 6:30pm trivia. They have plenty of outdoor seating (dog-friendly) which is ideal as the weather gets cooler, plus booths and tables inside. Beer was really tasty and very well priced. They have sours, ales, and IPAs galore. Staff is super friendly, and since a majority of people were sitting outside, they'd make rounds to pick up empty glasses and fulfill beer orders so we could focus on knocking out trivia questions. Although they don't serve food, there was a pizza truck (The Pizza Sloth) which was the perfect snack to pair with some yummy beers - we ordered some pizza and they delivered it to our table! Their website (http://www.theshop.beer/tap-list) has a list of trucks for about a month out, usually starting around 5-6pm. Also, their website is super helpful and extremely informative - would recommend to check it out. Great place to unwind with a few beers, whether with friends or even on a date. Loved the atmosphere and can't wait to be back! read more

This neighborhood bar is so chill. The vibe is almost like being in a friend's backyard. The prices are super reasonable and though I had a flight to taste their other popular beers, nothing compares to the church music. read more
