Best Local Brew

Nimbus Brewing Company

READERS' PICK: Like Elvis, Nimbus Couzin has left the building. But the brewery that bears his name is bigger than ever, available on tap in lots of local taverns and in bottles at our finer liquor establishments. The Palo Verde Pale Ale remains a big seller, but the Rillito Red captured our hearts the first time we sipped it while enjoying a ballgame at Tucson Electric Park. Take a trip out to the brewery itself for the live music offerings or just to watch the magic of beer being born.
