Sana Sana Cerveceria
There’s an astonishing assortment of taprooms along Phoenix’s Roosevelt Row. Sana Sana Cerveceria is one that is not to be missed on your bar crawl. You’ll know you’re at the right spot when you see the vibrant mural by Lalo Cota on the side of the building. Let’s start with the basics of any brewery: the beer is top-tier. That’s courtesy of brewer Greg Suschsland, who has worked at renowned breweries, including California’s Bottle Logic Brewery. Order a crisp and lightly roasty Sana Negra dark lager or the sweet-tart Berlinerweiss, Mango Loco. Then, you’ll want to find a spot at Sana Sana’s lowrider-inspired bar, which has shimmering pinstripe detailing, because the taproom is always a vibe. No one’s shy about dancing when the brewery has a DJ in to spin, the bar team is warm and chatty and the brewery books popular food trucks, like La Hamburguesa, to encourage patrons to hang out a little longer.
