Brewery Profile

Fate Brewing Company - Scottsdale

At Scottsdale and McDowell, this South Scottsdale outpost represents the expanded version of Fate Brewing Company rather than the small original operation that opened in North Scottsdale in 2012. The Scottsdale location was established in 2015 and runs a 15-barrel brewhouse with 270 barrels of fermentation capacity, giving visitors a sense of a brewery that has grown into a broader Valley presence. The original North Scottsdale site has since closed, while Fate has continued with locations in Tempe and Uptown Phoenix. For a visitor walking in, the main draw is the beer program itself: a mix of established house beers, seasonal releases, and the continuity of a brewing operation guided by Head Brewer Adam Schmeichel since the company’s beginning.

Travelers drinking beer in the Phoenix-Scottsdale area often look for beers that work in a warm climate without skipping bigger or more distinctive styles. Fate’s list fits that range through flagships such as Fateful IPA, Buena Vista Blonde Ale, and Fatality, along with rotating specialties. Hatch Chile Gatos is one of the recurring beers that connects naturally with the region, using a flavor many visitors associate with the Southwest. The brewery also has an early point of national recognition in its history: Candy Bar Milk Stout™ earned a silver medal at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival. That award does not define the whole lineup, but it helps place Fate within Arizona craft beer’s growth during the past decade.

Practical details should be confirmed directly with the Scottsdale taproom, especially the day’s pours, since seasonal and rotating beers can change. The known core beers give first-time visitors a starting point, while the current board is the best guide for limited or specialty releases. Amenities such as food service, outdoor seating, reservations, parking details, and event schedules are not specified here, so they are also worth checking before planning a visit around them. Visitors comparing multiple Fate locations should note that this is the South Scottsdale brewery at Scottsdale and McDowell, distinct from the Tempe and Uptown Phoenix locations and from the now-closed North Scottsdale original.

The South Scottsdale location of Fate Brewing Company, established in 2015 at Scottsdale and McDowell, operates a 15-barrel brewhouse supported by 270 barrels of fermentation capacity. Fate Brewing began operations in 2012 with a smaller 7-barrel system at its original North Scottsdale location, which has since closed following the company's expansion across the valley, including openings in Tempe (2019) and Uptown Phoenix (2023). Head Brewer Adam Schmeichel has guided the brewing program since the company's inception, focusing on a mix of core offerings and seasonal specialties. Flagship beers include Fateful IPA, Buena Vista Blonde Ale, and Fatality, alongside the rotating Hatch Chile Gatos. Fate received early recognition when its Candy Bar Milk Stout™ earned a silver medal at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival.
