Brewery Profile

Roses by the Stairs Brewing

In downtown Phoenix, near the line between the Roosevelt and Encanto neighborhoods, this independent brewery gives visitors a view of the city’s newer craft beer energy without losing the context of the building it occupies. The space was once home to Easley’s Fun Shop, a long-running Phoenix business that operated there for more than seven decades, and that history makes the address stand out from a typical taproom stop. Walk in expecting a brewery that treats the room as more than a place to order beer: the taproom is set up to be inclusive and social, with board games, live music, and attention to local artists and businesses. Since opening in May 2022, it has positioned itself around community involvement as much as around what is on draft.

Travelers looking for beer in Phoenix often seek a break from heat, a neighborhood stop near downtown arts and dining areas, and beers that go beyond a standard lineup. Roses by the Stairs Brewing fits that kind of visit through its focus on farmhouse-style brewing, especially saisons and sours made with high-quality local and seasonal ingredients. The brewery also keeps a rotating selection of modern IPAs and ales, so a group with different tastes is not limited to one narrow category. Its use of local grains and malts gives the beer program a regional connection, while its commitment to sustainable practices, including donating 1% of revenue to 1% for the Planet, adds another layer for visitors who pay attention to how a brewery operates.

For planning, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, since the selection rotates and the most accurate list will be what is available at the bar. Visitors who are not drinking alcohol still have options, as the brewery emphasizes high-quality non-alcoholic choices rather than treating them as an afterthought. The setting can work for a casual beer stop, a group meet-up over games, or an evening visit when music or local art programming is part of the schedule. Because specific hours, food arrangements, and event calendars are not fixed here, checking current taproom information before going is the safest way to plan a visit.
