Oak Creek Brewing Company is Sedona’s oldest microbrewery, opened in February 1995 by the Kraus family after Fred Kraus trained at a brewery in Pottenstein, Germany, and it has two very different homes. The Oak Creek Brewery and Grill at Tlaquepaque is the restaurant, with a second-story patio looking at the red rocks and the house beers brewed on site in copper tanks you can see from the bar. The original brewery on Yavapai Drive in West Sedona is the taproom and beer garden, with a fire pit, live music and pizza from Zen Dough’s next door.
The Beers
Seven house beers pour at the Grill at $7.50 for 14 ounces or $9 for 20: Forty-Niner Gold Lager and Village Nut Brown Ale (both North American Brewers’ Association gold medalists), Horseshoe Hefeweizen (Great American Beer Festival gold), Doc’s Pale Ale, Snake Charmer IPA, Oak Creek Amber Ale and Pullman Porter. The Seven Dwarves sampler, seven four-ounce steins, is $14. The Nut Brown is the flagship; malt comes from Sinagua Malt in Camp Verde, and the beers are sold at Whole Foods and Safeway.
