Tap That AZ - The Arizona Craft Beer Podcast

Tap That AZ is a ground-level record of Arizona beer culture and the people orbiting it. The show sounds like a table already in motion: glasses clink, someone asks what is being poured, and the conversation expands from there. Brewery episodes focus on process, space, and personal history. At Bonehouse Brewing, the talk starts inside an expansion area with new fermenters, possible barrel aging, and a Helles lager. At Drekker, the conversation moves through stouts, Arizona honey, hazy beer, and the turning point of leaving another job for brewery life. The show likes those moments. A beer is rarely just a beer; it is tied to a recipe, a room, a shift in someone’s work life, or a story that only makes sense when told by the person who lived it. The feed also makes room for recurring side lanes. Simple Sessions brings music people into a more intimate setting, where a guest can trace the path from hearing Green Day as a teenager to playing in bands and facing a crowd that feels impossibly large. Food conversations stretch into sauces, barbecue rubs, seasonings, and the comic seriousness of getting flavor right. Rating Arizona Beers adds a more direct review format, with Marcus Pena and Eric Walters talking through color, aroma, body, hops, malt, and whether a non-alcoholic hazy IPA can actually satisfy someone who likes beer. The pacing is loose. The humor can be adult and blunt. Sponsor reads may be more graphic than the beer talk itself, but the core appeal is still local enthusiasm and curiosity. Tap That AZ is best for listeners who want regional craft culture with real voices, not sanitized tasting-room brochure copy. It is Arizona beer as conversation: funny, crowded, opinionated, and full of people building things in public.
