🍺 Pinnacle Brewing, which launched last year in north Scottsdale, won four gold medals and earned Brewery of the Year at the fourth annual Arizona Craft Beer Awards.
Wren House Brewing won five medals – a gold, two silver and two bronze – and was runner-up.
Pinnacle is the fourth different brewery to top the awards in their four years, following in the footsteps of Barrio Brewing in Tucson (last year), Pedal Haus Brewery in Tempe (2023), and Oro Brewing in Mesa (2022).
ClanDestine, a Scottish ale from Saddle Mountain Brewing in Goodyear, won Best in Show.
The awards are presented by Phoenix Magazine and the Arizona Craft Brewer’s Guild.
