Oak Creek Brewery; Terrific Food, Pretty Good Beer!

Momma and Poppa 'Brew Dork' were in town for a few days and I took ful

l advantage of the chance to show them some of my favorite AZ brew-spots. First on the line up was Sedona for a delicious lunch at Oak Creek brewery followed by a scenic hike through the Coconino Forest.

Oak Creek Canyon is conveniently located in downtown Sedona only a few miles from some of the most scenic hikes in the state (which means that when you're done stuffing your face full of food and beer you don't have to sit in a car long before enjoying an arduous hike across the rugged red-rock trails!) Actually, after doing just that this past week I would recommend reversing the order on your brewery & hike day. Better yet, after you fi

nish you're last beer, skip the hike altogether and make your way over to the Sedona Fudge Company for dessert instead!

Overall, lunch at the Oak Creek Brewery is a great time. The decor feels old fashioned without coming off touristy, the staff is friendly and quick, and the food is quite terrific and priced reasonably. Sure their beer isn’t as good or as diverse as 4 Peaks, but if the battle was over who had the best beer-battered fries, Oak Creek would OWN 4 Peaks!

I got the days’s special; Italian sausage with fresh Mozzerela, grilled peppers, onions, marinara sauce, and a side of french fries - De-lish!

Papa Brew-Dork went with the Brat n’ Saurcraut... must be the German Heritage that keeps bringing him back!

Mama-Dork had the turkey club with slaw... a classic done right!

In my book, Oak Creek gets a solid 2/3rds full Pint Glass rating! If you’ve been to Oak Creek Brewery I want to know about your experience! Good or bad leave your opinion as a comment!

-Prost!
