State 48 Brewery - DTPHX - Brewpub in Phoenix - 345 W Van Buren St, USA

We were only in town for the weekend for a baseball game at Chase Field. A friend told us not to leave Phoenix without trying State 48 Brewery. So, we checked out of our hotel a little early and headed to the brewery before going to the airport. I am so glad that we did. It was really early so they weren't super busy yet. We were greeted by a wonderful young lady. She was pleasant and friendly, We actually sat and chatted with the staff while we tried a few of the local beers. They were fun, knowledgable about their beer and great to talk to. This place has beautifully painted walls that any art lover will appreciate. The building appears old and it has an amazing vibe. There are many, many great beers to choose from so it's worth it go get a flight (or two). Try the sour! It made me want to miss my flight. Our only regret is that we didn't go here sooner. We would have liked to have had more time to sit, have a good beer, order a meal and hang out. This is a great place with great staff AND really great beer!

I’ve tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. There is so much potential and they just can’t get it right. My boys each asked for their burgers well done and when I had them each cut a piece for me, it was still mooing.

Work down the road from here and didn’t know until recently that this place was here. Food is freakin amazing and so are the beers. They have a killer happy hour and would be good for a team happy hour or happy hour with friends. I ordered the beer cheesesteak and it was so delicious. The cheese was on the side for me. The beer pictured is one of their sours, also so tasty! They have so many beers to try and I can’t wait or come back. It wasn’t top pack, great service as well. Overall, amazing experience!

The beer and food were both amazing. Had the fish and chips and they were perfectly done, no seasoning or condiments needed. When it comes to beer, I highly recommend the Suncast Hazy IPA, Sound of Freedom IPA and the H£ll Bi+ch Belgian Tripel. Super friendly staff.

I went to this place to celebrate a birthday and was told that the burgers were really good… well let me tell you that these burgers exceeded my expectations. I ordered my burger (beer cheese burger) medium and they cooked it to perfection. I can say most places don’t even ask how you want your burger and if they do they still medium well them. Prices are fair for this economy and the quality of the food. The beers were great and very cold. Service was really good also as the decoration and environment. Definitely my new burger joint!!

Another great spot I've added to my rotation when staying in downtown Phoenix! The number of beers on tap are a beer lovers "dream come true!" Belgian Triple, Baltic Porters, Hazy IPAs....and the food is top knotch! Savannah took care of me and gave me a lot of help picking which beers were worth trying...there a lot to pic from but she can help you narrow down your preferences! I ordered a Hazy IPA and the P.B.&J. Burger cooked Medium Well...AMAZING!!!!! Oh yes...they even have TVs to watch the game.... I'll be back!

new waitress assumed my honey enjoyed Modelo and that I enjoyed margaritas. lol She was wrong! Service was slow. Took 10 min tp be seated. Was talked out of getting what I wanted, brisket. Food was okay. Scene was nice. Outside sitting was beautiful. My babe really enjoyed his peanut butter burger.

Never have a good experience here. It’s one thing or another. Decided to finally leave a review because we were escorted outside due to a gas leak risk. The assumed manager who informed us was outside as well and sitting a table behind us. We sat and watched along 4th Ave as the kitchen staff came out, stood behind this manager, and catcalled women driving up to the stop sign on Van Buren. It was disgusting and they all kept laughing. The women were visibly perturbed. It was so annoying and uncomfortable that even my husband who tends to ignore more things got irate himself. A female worker mentioned to one of the male workers later that she was being harassed and a bunch of employees booed her for saying “the big HR word”. Disgusting. I don’t want to come back after this goof up.
