Condensation-kissed pint glasses, towering fermentation tanks, the soupy smell of cooked malt in the air — there's nothing like a visit to the place where your favorite beers are made. Thirty-four craft breweries now call Phoenix home, but the ones on this list are doing it better than anyone else. Seek them out, scooch on up to the bar, grab a beer, and drink deep: You're at one of the best breweries in the Valley.
