🍺 Gilbert-based Arizona Wilderness Brewing will open a fourth location next year on the northwest corner of McDowell and 15th Street in Phoenix.
The 10,000-square-foot building formerly was home to a commercial florist.
The new location will be similar to the Gilbert flagship with a taproom attached to a brewery. It will not have a beer garden like the brewery’s downtown Phoenix location.
Arizona Wilderness also operates the Woodnotes Cellar, its wild ales-focused site and event space just north of the Gilbert brewery.
