Hello! We are an independent craft brewery in downtown Phoenix, on the border of the Roosevelt and Encanto neighborhoods. Our beers explore the boundaries of what it means to be a farmhouse style beer— we include high quality local and seasonal ingredients to create unique, flavorful beers and explore a wide range of styles from funky saisons and sours to modern IPAs and ales.
We are located in the building that was home to beloved Easley’s Fun Shop for over 70 years and are aiming to continue the tradition of a family business with a strong focus on community. Our small foundational team is the beating heart behind the delicious beer and personal connection in our space and we are so thankful for their energy and creativity in these early months.
We opened our doors in May 2022 but we started growing our vision 2 years earlier. Working remotely and isolating indoors, we envisioned a business that would contribute to the community– create connections among our neighbors, highlight artists and small businesses and support local organizations and causes.
Through our beers, we purchase the highest quality ingredients we can find, purchase seasonal fruits and source local grains and malts from local farms that feed our community and demonstrate sustainable practices.
Through our taproom, we look to cultivate an inclusive space that is welcoming to everyone, creating connection through our very varied interests. We seek out high quality non-alcoholic options so more people feel welcome in our space, and we aim to fill our taproom with personal details, buying small, promoting artists, highlighting local businesses that we admire and hosting live music.
Through our choices, we have committed to donate 1% of our revenue to 1% for the Planet. Additionally, we regularly support local organizations both through monetary donations and by sharing our space and our platform.
We will promote what inspires us and encourage community engagement. Breweries can be about more than just beer and as we grow, we will continually look for ways to realize our vision. So, welcome to our new home at Roses by the Stairs! May you find delicious cold beer, a delightful board game, friendly people and creative inspiration within!!

Our anniversary IPA to celebrate our first year and mark the beginning of our second year in business. Brewer by the amazing Jordan Gregory with Mega Motueka, Citra cryo, and Nelson. On draft and in cans. Thanks for a great first year!
Back from last year, and a crowd favorite, we have a kettle sour and then added the juice of over 40 pounds of mulberries that we picked from Holiday Farms. It’s juicy, flavorful, and slightly tart. Perfect for this warm weather!

Inspired by Scratch Beer, in October of 2021 we foraged for acorns in Prescott and then fermented them naturally in mason jars behind the bar for over a year a half. Once the jars were rich with aromas of vanilla, cocoa, plum and leather we cracked and peeled each one and added them to our brown ale, Brown Bear. The result is unique, bursting with new flavors from our beautiful state!
“Sonniger Tag” means “Sunny Day” in German and is the perfect beer to pair with the Phoenix sunny summer days. This is a traditional style Berliner Weisse, made to be served with house made syrups which cut the natural acidity of a Berliner Weisse beer and create an extra refreshing, balanced and flavorful beer! Our head brewer Jordan Gregory created syrups with local ingredients! Strawberry-Vanilla with strawberry’s from Blue Sky Organic Farms, Raspberry-Hibiscus with hibiscus from Black Orchard Farms , White tea-Peach with peaches picked from Schnepf Farms, and Woodruff with woodruff from Germany (not local!!) to pair with the base beer.
Hazy eyes is hopped with Citra, Talus cryo and Cashmere. The flavor profile is apricot, pineapple and orange zest with a great body. Available in cans and on draft!
Our very first brown ale is on tap! Brewed with honey malt, biscuit malt and chocolate wheat for flavors of biscuits, light coffee and light chocolate! A dark beer, light enough for this summer-spring weather.
We wanted to brew a beer that represents both Kitsune's enthusiasm for experimentation and brewing big, bold styles (did you know they make a blue beer!?) and our focus on local and seasonal ingredients. We decided on a sorbet-inspired, local citrus double hazy IPA hopped with Nelson, Luminosa and Idaho 7. We joined forces to zest and juice 400 lbs of locally grown grapefruits, oranges, tangelos and lemons. To add the essence of sorbet, we finished this beer with Madagascar vanilla.
This quick sour ale is inspired by the local and seasonal fruits of Arizona and the delicious cocktail Cantarito! Cantarito is pre-soured with local lemons from the Encanto neighborhood picked by one of our favorite regulars, Dave Schmidt. We added local grapefruits and oranges from our backyard and tangelos and grapefruits from Justice Brother Ranch. Finally we used Arizona green hatch chili Sonoran sea salt from Desert Provisions in Tucson. Served with an optional chamoy and hatch chili sea salt rim!
Our house West Coast IPA! Featuring Mosaic incognito, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Chinook crya to get a perfectly combined aroma and floavor of pine, grapefruit, and fresh berries.
JOJO is brewed with the yeast strain from the famed Jovaru brewery in Lithuania. This is our fourth iteration of this farmhouse Ale recipe-- this time we increased the ABV to 6.5% and added rye malt to round out the body and add a subtle floral spice.
After much experimenting and tweaking recipes, this is our house hazy IPA! With some of our favorites Citra cryo, Luminosa and Motueka. Sensory notes of candied mango, peach and lemon-lime soda.
Brewed with 100% Arizona grains from Grain R&D, fermented with our favorite saison strain and infused with lavender from Pine Lavender Farm in Pine, AZ and chamomile from Golden Rule Botanicals in the Phoenix Melrose district. A sweet, vanilla/lavender nose followed by a citrus, subtle apple and peppercorn flavor. It pairs wonderfully with this spring weather and blooming flowers.
Our first barrel aged stout with cacao nibs from Zaks Chocolate in Scottsdale and aged it in Garrison Brother's Whiskey Barrels and conditioned with Madagasar vanilla beans! This has a delicate tartness, dark chocolate and raspberry flavors.
Here is our blonde ale, brewed with 100% Arizona grains! 2 row and wheat from Grain R&D , fermented with a yeast strain from Omega that produces fruity esters of pear and berry to complement the sweetness from the grain and floral aromatics from Loral hops. Effervescent and dry finish. Simple and tasty.
