The menu is quite varietal and we love the delicious devil eggs and crispy pig ears while enjoying flights of varietal beer. We also really enjoyed when they offered the Axl Gose. We have enjoyed their red and black Haboob IPAs. The Peoria location is much larger with great indoor and patio spaces. We were impressed with the early beer selection. We enjoyed the Litchfield location soon after they were open. Locally sourced ingredients contribute to an eclectic menu of food items available for lunch and dinner.
The facility was completely remodeled and piped to accept a 5BBL brewery and a full kitchen. The new brewpub is much larger with seating for about 70 inside, an L-shaped wooden bar and a pleasant covered patio. In November of 2015 the duo teamed up with Chef Michael Mahalick to open Peoria Artisan Brewery and Gastropub in Peoria. The Taproom is a small neighborhood establishment where brewer Joe Porter brews 1BBL batches of beer (31 gallons) and is working with a small barrel program. The North Peoria location is at the Southeast corner of the intersection. Their Litchfield Taproom is in historic Litchfield Park, AZ just adjacent to the historic Wigwam Resort, a great place to stay. On Site Brewery and Gastropub to Open by October, 2015 Peoria, AZ Peoria Artisan Brewery®, an Arizona Limited Liability Company, proudly announces their expansion to North Peoria with plans to open by October, 2015. And the IPA-brined chicken and brewhouse trio effectively caters to the craft-brew base.N eal Farrell and Kristina Frosch opened Peoria Artisan Brewery in 2013. Mahalick never strays too far from pub-grub convention, but there’s enough culinary intrigue in the pig ears and chili bacon to please gourmands. Each of the three daily selections offered a different experience, from ESB’s chocolatey notes to the darker malt flavor of Haboob Black IPA and mildly sugary buttermilk tang of Angus Boy. The pub’s $6 brewhouse trio, a sampling of beer-flavored ice creams, is a perfect meal-ender. Moist pulled pork satisfies in chilaquiles ($14), a simple but tasty mélange of a yolky fried egg, corn chips and green chiles, but gets iffy treatment in Mahalick’s pork n’ waffles ($12), served with a runny barbecue-flavored glaze somewhat inaccurately described as “maple pecan syrup.” Sundays, brunch features several culinary standouts paired with Bloody Marys and “beermosas.” Smoked chili bacon strips ($5) are caramelized with brown sugar to complement the dish’s chipotle spice pair them with savory veggie hash ($8) or dense buttermilk pancakes ($10) for a balanced breakfast. The bone-in short ribs ($22) are great, too, with a rich, heady, dark-beer-infused flavor. Unfortunately, the breast/wing/leg trio also suffers from some bone-dry texture, so instead opt for the bright and sweet BLTA ($10) sandwich with avocado and sugary tomato jam. The bacon burger’s smoky flavor is complemented by mellow muenster ($13), while the beer-brined Yard Bird Trio ($17) tastes of hops and malt. Most main dishes are infused with house beer.

Mahalick’s sauce smacks of ubiquitous hot wing topper Frank’s Hot Sauce, but the Duroc pork’s potent, leathery flavor makes the resemblance forgivable. Clearly, the chef’s tenure under Stephen Jones at The Larder + The Delta (formerly Yard Bird + The Larder) paid off.Ĭlassic deviled eggs with ham flecks ($6/$9) are enjoyable, albeit mustard-heavy, and Buffalo pig ears – another Yard Bird inspiration – are delightfully chewy and flavorful ($6).

Chicken bites ($6), that prosaic staple of kiddie menus and fast food drive-thrus, are enlivened by a crisp, crackly skin and juicy mouthfeel. Like the décor, chef Michael Mahalick’s people-pleasing menu is more elegantly executed than the beer-pub norm. And the food? Much, much better than its Litchfield sibling. Daily brews are adorably scrawled in block letters on chalkboard planks. The new digs are pretty slick, with an L-shaped wooden bar and 49-seat covered patio. Its kitchen, on the other hand, lacked the capacity to offer more than a handful of easy-to-prepare bar bites.įarrell and Frosch found a bigger, better outlet for their encore: the 3,000-square-foot Peoria Artisan Brewery, aka P.A.B., at Camino á Lago Marketplace. Despite lacking the massive mash tuns of its competitors, the brewery managed to churn out over 40 original beers in two years – no small feat. The duo opened Litchfield Taproom in 2013 with a 31-gallon homebrew system and an even tinier menu. N eal Farrell and Kristina Frosch are serious about beer.
