Desert Eagle Brewing to close July 30 after 9+ years in downtown Mesa

Desert Eagle Brewing, Mesa’s first craft brewery, is permanently closing July 30 after nearly 10 years on downtown’s Main Street. No explanation was given for the impending closure. Jeff Bryant and Joe Campbell launched Desert Eagle as a taproom in October 2012 and later added live music and a kitchen. The brewery opened a second location at northeast Mesa’s Falcon Field in 2016, but closed it three years later.
