Whether it’s locally-brewed beers, locally-distilled spirits, or locally-roasted small batch coffee, the craft beverage scene is driving the libation lexicon these days. And we enjoyed it all at a block party this weekend built around our shared passion for the craft, live from the parking lot of Three Wells Distilling Company and Ten Fifty-Five Brewing Company!

Our celebrity co-host was craft beverage loyalist and filmmaker Scot Litteer who caught us up on his latest cinematographic and craft brew adventures. We also talked Pumpkin Palooza with Susan Fulton of Gourmet Girls Bakery & Bistro who is busy satisfying Tucson’s cravings for pumpkin pies, breads, and other goodies this holiday season. Three Wells Distiller Matt Montgomery walked us through his new cocktail menu, and Petey Peterson of Green Feet Brewing Company introduced us to some of his spectacular suds.

We also caught up with Anna Perreira of Yellow Brick Coffee for a conversation about single-origin coffee and artisan roasts, and enjoyed slurping some ramen from Fat Noodle!  What a dynamic show featuring our common passion for craft beverages.
