Best Breweries in Sedona AZ (+ Beer Bars You Shouldn’t Miss)

If you’re searching for the best breweries in Sedona AZ, here’s the truth – there are only two actual breweries in town. Yep, you read that right. While plenty of restaurants and bars serve craft beer, only a couple of places in Sedona are brewing their own.

But don’t let that fool you. Between these two breweries and a few excellent beer bars, Sedona still delivers a great craft beer experience. After all, what pairs better with a red rock hike than a cold local pint?

We’ve spent several winters exploring Arizona’s drinking scene, and Sedona remains one of our favorite day-trip spots for a post-hike beer. Whether you want a laid-back taproom, a patio with a view, or a bar that pours local Arizona brews, this list has you covered.

Short on Time? Here are the key takeaways:

• There are only two true breweries in Sedona AZ despite what other guides claim.
• Sedona Beer Company and Oak Creek Brewing Co. are the real local breweries.
• Both breweries offer food, great beer, and relaxed local vibes.
• Vino di Sedona and Mooney’s Irish Pub are excellent beer bars that feature rotating taps and Arizona craft options.
• Sedona’s beer scene is small but mighty – perfect for a one-day bar crawl with red rock views.

Best Breweries in Sedona

The best breweries in Sedona is a pretty short list considering there are only 2 actual breweries.

While you’ll see Squid Ink listed on numerous other articles, this is a members-only establishment, and sorry Charlie, you ain’t part of that club. The breweries in Sedona that you can actually visit and drink at are listed below.

1. Sedona Beer Company 

• Hours:
  • Downtown Sedona location
    • Thursday – Monday: 12 PM – 8 PM
    • Tuesday & Wednesday: Closed
  • Beer Camp Location
    • Tuesday – Sunday: 12 PM – 8 PM
    • Monday: Closed
• Happy Hour: 3 – 5 PM daily, except Saturday
• Food Available: Yes

One of the two breweries in this beautiful town, Sedona Beer Company makes what they proudly call “Beer for Here” — and that means more than just a catchy slogan. Their focus is on sustainability and local ingredients, using malt grown and processed right in the Verde Valley region.

They’re also a certified sustainable business and use “squarrels” (square barrels) for aging beer. These use less wood and water than traditional barrels without sacrificing flavor.

Their main brewery and tasting room sit just behind the bustle of downtown Sedona, offering a casual indoor-outdoor setup with a full food menu. Do yourself a favor and order the beer cheese and bacon fries with your flight.

Some of our favorites include the Kölschture Shock (crisp and easy-drinking), the Pink Drink (a fruity wheat beer with prickly pear, pomegranate, raspberry, and honey), and the Honey Golden Barrel-Aged Sour, which was funky, complex, and delicious.

In 2024, they opened a second location called Basecamp on the western side of town that is open 6 days a week with great views!

2. Oak Creek Brewing Co. 

• Hours:
  • Monday: 2 PM – 8 PM
  • Tuesday: 12 PM – 11 PM
  • Wednesday & Thursday: 12 PM – 8 PM
  • Friday – Saturday: 12 PM – 10 PM
  • Sunday: 12 PM – 8 PM
• Happy Hour: Daily 4 PM – 7 PM
• Food Available: No, but can bring your own food

Oak Creek Brewing Co. holds the title of Sedona’s first craft brewery and has been serving locals and visitors for over 20 years. It’s a little off the main drag, about two miles from downtown Sedona, and offers a relaxed, locals-only feel.

Inside, the tasting room is attached to the fermentation area, giving it that true brewery vibe. There’s also an outdoor beer garden perfect for catching live music on weekends.

The beer lineup is classic and well-crafted. We loved the Hefeweizen, packed with banana and clove notes that earned it a Gold Medal at the Great American Beer Festival. The Nut Brown Ale is rich and roasty, while the King Crimson, an imperial red ale, brings a big malty punch.

If you’re closer to downtown, you can also check out their sister spot, Oak Creek Brewery & Grill, which serves the same great beer with a full food menu and those signature Sedona views.

Beer Bars in Sedona

Now that you’ve made it through the best breweries in Sedona AZ, it’s time to explore some local beer bars that pour great regional options.

1. Vino di Sedona

• Hours:
  • Tuesday – Wednesday: 11 AM – 10 PM
  • Thursday – Saturday: 11 AM – 11 PM
  • Sunday: 3 PM – 10 PM
  • Monday: Closed
• Food Available: Yes

Don’t let the name fool you – Vino di Sedona is just as much about craft beer as it is about wine. Located about five minutes from downtown, this spot has 19 beers on tap and dozens more in cans and bottles, including local Arizona brews.

The large courtyard patio out back makes it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of hiking. The food menu is solid too – we loved the Caprese skewers for a quick bite.

If you’re traveling with a wine lover, this is the place to compromise. With over 900 wines in their bottle shop plus mead, cider, and cocktails, there’s something for everyone. We even left with a bottle we couldn’t resist taking home.

2. Mooney’s Irish Pub

• Hours:
  • Monday – Thursday: 4 PM – 1 AM
  • Friday – Sunday: 11:30 AM – 2 AM
• Food Available: Yes
• Note: 21 years and older ONLY

Mooney’s Irish Pub might not look like much from the outside, but it’s got a solid craft beer lineup with 16 taps featuring local Arizona options.

It’s not polished or pretentious, but that’s part of its charm. Expect fun décor, late-night vibes, and a crowd that knows how to have a good time.

They were even voted Best Bar/Lounge in Sedona by Market Surveys of America in 2022. The burgers here are also worth mentioning, especially the lamb burger if it’s on special. If you like your beer with a little personality, Mooney’s is your kind of place.

While Sedona’s brewery list is short, the beer here packs plenty of flavor and local pride. Between Sedona Beer Company, Oak Creek Brewing Co., and a few standout bars pouring Arizona craft beer, you’ll have no trouble finding a great pint with a view.
