PBC opened it’s doors in November of 2012 and operated a Nano 1/2 bbl system. At first, Pinetop Brewing Company was just a small tap room with limited production and hours of operation. In the Spring of 2013 James upgraded his brewing system to a 3.5BBL and significantly added to his production capabilities. During the winter of 2014 PBC upgraded again and added two 7BBL fermenters. In August 2015 a new brewer was hired to help transform the brewery to something special - Arizona's only dedicated traditional Belgian style brewery. The brewer is John 'Cisco' Francisco who was already well known for his dedication to brewing authentic Belgian beers. After just 4 months of brewing the new beers we were awarded a Gold medal and Best of Show medal for our Grand Cru at The Strong Beer Festival which is Arizona's biggest beer festival. Then we became overwhelmed with beer enthusiasts from across the state and decided to also upgrade our food menu and became a gastro pub with a scratch kitchen. By the end of 2016 our tiny brewing setup could not keep up with the demand and we invested in a 10 barrel brewery which is located a mile down the road from the restaurant. We now are making 14 different Belgian beers and self distributing to Tucson, Phoenix and Flagstaff. “Small Town, BIG BEER" ## What they brew - Belgian Ale — 50% of the beers we track - Pale Ale — 15% of the beers we track - IPA — 10% of the beers we track - Saison — 9% of the beers we track - Stout / Porter — 8% of the beers we track - Amber Ale — 4% of the beers we track - Other — 4% of the beers we track ## Find them - Address: 159 West White Mountain Boulevard, Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona, United States - Coordinates: 34.1428663, -109.956664 - Website: http://pinetopbeer.com/ ## Breweries nearby - [THAT Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/that-brewery-4853.md) — 3.46, Poor — Pine, Arizona — 87 mi away - [Goldwater Brewing Co.](https://finding.beer/brewery/goldwater-brewing-co-1912.md) — 4.17, Great — Mesa, Arizona — 110 mi away - [Bone Haus Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/bone-haus-brewing-5047.md) — 4.12, Great — Fountain Hills, Arizona — 111 mi away - [Lochiel Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/lochiel-brewing-1566.md) — 3.91, Fine — Mesa, Arizona — 112 mi away - [Verde Brewing Company](https://finding.beer/brewery/verde-brewing-company-6926.md) — 3.53, Poor — Camp Verde, Arizona — 114 mi away - [Sedona Beer Company](https://finding.beer/brewery/sedona-beer-company-24145.md) — 3.82, Fine — Sedona, Arizona — 114 mi away - [Old Ellsworth Brewing Company](https://finding.beer/brewery/old-ellsworth-brewing-company-5105.md) — 3.81, Fine — Queen Creek, Arizona — 115 mi away - [Four Silos Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/four-silos-brewery-33470.md) — 3.78, Fine — Gilbert, Arizona — 115 mi away ## Rankings this brewery appears in - [Best breweries in Arizona](https://finding.beer/breweries/united-states/arizona.md) - [Best breweries in United States](https://finding.beer/breweries/united-states.md) --- Finding Beer scores breweries on the beer they brew rather than on the venue.
