8th Street Ale – A Four Peaks Brewery Classic!

If you find yourself in one of the most exciting college towns in the United States, Tempe, Arizona, head down the historical Mill Avenue to Four Peaks Brewery. A fully fledged brewery and bar, this place is actually quite large inside and has been around for a decent while, serving awesome eats and some signature, homemade beer to the masses. And, they even allow you buy kegs and bottles of their beer to enjoy at home, or at a party later on. If you happen upon this joint on any weekend night, Friday or Saturday, you may have to wait to be seated as it is one of the more popular bars in the Tempe area! 8th Street Ale Is the trademark, and nearly flagship beer of the Four Peaks Brewery! This beer has become so popular, in fact, that most stores in Arizona sell it by the six pack or the case, which retails for about $8-$15 dollars. The beer speaks for itself. A smooth and dark lager that offers a brisk first taste, a rich foamy texture, and a smooth aftertaste that will leave you craving another sip once it passes down your gullet. As your tummy warms from the high alcohol content, you will realize indeed that it has even a sweeter ambience and flavor, but yet still remains as a typical, dark lager. Brewed daily in the many beer vats that populate the Four Peaks Brewery in Tempe, Arizona, 8th Street Ale is amongst the best ales that you can pour down your mouth. And when you are at this place, you can get cheap pitchers of it for about seven smackers! Plus, they have dozens of other homemade beers that you can try and buy, if you so desire!

Notice the large brewing vats in the background? Yeah, that is right!

My favorite beer at Four Peaks Brewery, in Tempe, Arizona, is their trademarked, flagship brew: 8th Street Ale. A darker, hoppy lager that goes down smooth and is high rich in flavor and boasts high alcohol content.
