Arizona Wilderness to open downtown Phoenix location

Arizona Wilderness Brewing, one of Arizona’s most acclaimed craft breweries, is opening a second location in downtown Phoenix.

But don’t plan to visit anytime soon – the location (artist’s rendering shown above) isn’t expected to open until 2019, according to Wilderness co-founder Jon Buford’s announcement on the brewery’s blog.

The new location – on the southeast corner of Second Street and Roosevelt – is described as ‘‘a counter service style burger restaurant serving our own Wilderness beers, Arizona wines and cocktails on draft with a large-scale patio bier garden.’’

It also will sell Wilderness beers in bottles and cans to go.

As for an opening date, Buford writes, ‘‘Spring of 2019 is the objective.’’
