5. The Phoenix Ale Brewery

The Phoenix Ale Brewery came to be in 2011 and was the brainchild of the late George Hancock and late Greg Fretz.

Their signature Camelback IPA is a local favorite, while others include their Watermelon Ale, King George Amber Ale, and their Biltmore Blonde golden ale, which will definitely quench your thirst during the Valley’s long hot summers. Their taproom is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a pint of their fresh ales, and you can pair it from one of the delicious offerings from their kitchen.
