Libations and laziness

By Lilia Menconi

It took us a couple of days before we dragged our bloated bellies out in public after stuffing ourselves on Thanksgiving. Instead of hitting a hotspot with expectations of beautiful faces and flat tummies, we decided to hit a casual favorite, Papago Brewing Company in Scottsdale, on Saturday, November 24 for some additional calories — in liquid form. (Click here for more photos.)

Papago was pretty happenin', with folks stuffing their faces with pizza or playing board games all night. The relaxed vibe was just what we wanted — we felt so lazy that even a game of darts was too much physical activity. With about a million beers to choose from, a tasty menu, and wine to boot, it turns out that Papago is the perfect stop for sedentary caloric intake — the ideal spot for the holidays.
