Mother Road Brewing Company
7 South Mikes Pike St., Flagstaff, Arizona
Mother Road Brewing Company is named after John Steinbeck's nickname for Route 66 in "Grapes of Wrath," and is located right off the historic road in downtown Flagstaff. Since opening in 2011, the brewery has become Arizona's third-largest independent craft brewer and a go-to local hang in northern Arizona's high-country, adventure-obsessed university town.
Experience some of Flagstaff's best craft beer scene, warm hospitality, and lively spirit at Mother Road Brewing Company. Core beers like Sunday Drive and Tower Station are always on tap, alongside limited releases. While the taproom does not serve food or allow outside food to be brought in, pick up something to nosh on at the "Roadside Stove Kitchen," serving Cajun, Creole, and Barbecue bites from Satchmo’s Cajun & Barbecue.
For families with young children, there are games and toys in the taproom, a changing station in the bathroom, and a selection of sodas and non-alcoholic beverages.
Well-behaved, leashed dogs are allowed on the patio with their owners.
Whether visitors try the brewery's long-standing classics or creatively brewed experiments, there is a large outdoor beer garden or indoor tasting room where they can sip beers.
