Simple Machine’s modern, bright, clean decor lives exemplifies the bar’s name — simple. But this north Phoenix brewery’s creations are anything but. Head brewer and co-owner Marshall Norris has a skill for taking simple ingredients and transforming them into flavor-packed beers, such as the malty Camper Red Ale, chocolatey Paddy Smacker Irish Dry Stout and fruit-packed Tangaroo Tangerine IPA. Grab a table inside, or snag a seat on the patio near the rotating selection of food trucks. While outside, you can watch the small planes landing at Deer Valley Airport across the street. If you’re looking to take home some beer for later, the brewery also sells many of its creations by the can.
