Brewery Profile

SaltFire Brewery Co Taphouse

On West Broadway Road in Tempe, visitors find a tap house with a direct link to the city’s longer-running craft beer scene. The address was previously home to Boulders on Broadway, which had been part of that scene since 2007, and the new operation keeps continuity through original Boulders owners Erick and Rochelle Geryol, who continue to manage the tap house. SaltFire Brewing Co. began in Salt Lake City in 2018, and this Tempe location serves as its main Arizona presence through a partnership with SaltFire co-owners Ryan Miller and Tim Wilson. For a first-time visitor, the key feature is the tap list: thirty lines, with ten set aside for SaltFire’s experimental styles and the rest rotating through regional and national craft selections.

Travelers looking for beer in the Phoenix-area market often seek variety, especially when they have limited time and want to compare different producers in one stop. This tap house fits that kind of visit because it is not only a brand outpost; it also keeps space for a broader range of craft beer beyond SaltFire’s own pours. The SaltFire taps give visitors a way to see what the Utah-founded brewery is exploring, while the remaining lines can reflect what is moving through Arizona and other craft markets at the time. That format is useful for people who prefer a sampler-style visit, a single pint with food, or a casual stop between other Tempe plans.

For practical planning, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, since the lineup is built around rotating selections. Food remains part of the visit, with a pub-friendly menu that includes pizzas, burgers, and appetizers following a menu refresh tied to the transition from Boulders to SaltFire. Future plans include establishing in-state brewing operations for the brand, but the known visitor experience is currently centered on the Tempe tap house, its thirty taps, and its food menu. Anyone making a special trip should verify current hours, tap availability, and any changes directly with the business before going.

The SaltFire Brewing Tap House operates in Tempe, Arizona, occupying the location previously held by Boulders on Broadway, an establishment that contributed to the local craft beer scene since its founding in 2007. This location, situated on West Broadway Road, now serves as the primary Arizona presence for SaltFire Brewing Co., which originated in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2018. The transition involved a partnership between SaltFire co-owners Ryan Miller and Tim Wilson and the original Boulders owners, Erick and Rochelle Geryol, who continue to manage the tap house operations. The facility maintains thirty taps, with ten dedicated to SaltFire's experimental styles, while the remaining lines rotate regional and national craft selections. As part of the partnership, the establishment underwent a menu refresh, and future plans include establishing in-state brewing operations for the brand. The tap house continues to offer a pub-friendly menu featuring pizzas, burgers, and appetizers.
