Belt’s Beer Garden: I’m Hip...I’m With It

Related Topics: Arizona, Tucson

Tucson, Arizona is home to the state’s oldest brewery - Barrio Brewing Company - which has been around since 1991. In 2020 the brewery became 100% employee owned, the first of its kind in Arizona. Today you can find their brews across the state but they have yet to start distributing elsewhere.

I found a single 12-ounce can of their hazy IPA, Hipsterville, for the very reasonable price of $2.29 so, naturally, I had to grab it. The hop varieties aren’t listed but it was made with flaked wheat and oats and has a 6.4% ABV.
