    Outside seating
    Phillip L.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Special holiday cranberry beer- so yummy!

    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.

    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.

    Wow! It has such an open and free atmosphere. The doors that lead to the outdoor patio allow for a…read morecomfortable flow, while the wrap around bar makes it easy to have space anywhere. The inside has many seats with comfy couches as well. The beer is top notch for multiple palate attractions. The many arrays of lagers, IPAs, light pilsners and ciders allow for any tastebud to have a great experience. Food options are all around, while you're able to indulge in some food trucks, bring in your own, or free popcorn in the corner that has so many spices to choose from to top add. My fave is the Ole Bay. Cans to go are available as well. To top off this amazing experience, the service is suuuuper friendly! Always looking to come back even if I live right down the road!!

    Stopped in on Sunday late afternoon as the sun lay low. It wasn"t too busy at first. I sat at the…read morebar and was able to plug in my phone. The place is spacious. The L-shaped bar seats 15 people and there are six high tops that seat six people, three picnic tables outside for eight people each, and a long couch inside for four people to chill. My beertender was very friendly and accomodating. He gave my dog Hansel a bowl of water and a biscuit. This is a very dogfriendly taproom. Both beers I had were very tasty. My first pint was a Hefeweizen. It had a slight waxy mouthfeel. My second pint was an oatmeal stout. At 7.3% ABV it was a tad strong, but it went down very smoothly. I snacked on some free popcorn but it was seasoned with a strong spice. Thankfully I could help myself to the water fountain. I enjoyed the ambiance and will be back.
