I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
There’s no shortage of local breweries in the Grand Canyon State. We are lucky to have so many incredible choices like State 48 Brewery, Four Peaks, and Mother Road Brewing Company. While these are some of the largest breweries in the state, there are plenty of smaller ones that are worth mentioning. Copper Hop Ranch Farm Brewery in Arizona is a microbrewery as well as the first commercial hops farm in the state. For some delicious farm-to-glass beer, visit this brewery in Elgin.
Located in Elgin, a census-designated part of Santa Cruz County in Southern Arizona, Copper Hop Ranch Farm Brewery was established in 2014.
Copper Hop was the first commercial hops farm in the state. There are currently 14 different types of hops grown here, some of which are used in the production of the farm's own brews.
From the Full Nelson IPA to the Peach Mango Hard Cider and everything in between, you can taste the flavors and freshness of every sip of the farm-grown brews here.
Since you'll sit outside to enjoy your beer, cider, or cocktail, remember to bring a hat and sunscreen with you -- it's Arizona after all! And if you want to bring your four-legged friend along, the patio here is dog-friendly.
