Copper Hop Ranch & Microbrewery sits between mile markers 24 and 23 on Highway 83, a stretch of open road that suddenly sprouts a farmhouse and a fully‑functional brew‑works. Here the hills of Elgin, Arizona, supply more than a pretty backdrop – they hand‑feed the barley, hops and even the cattle that roam the animal‑friendly grounds. The result is a lineup of farm‑fresh beers that range from razor‑sharp IPAs to decadently dark stouts, each poured in a modest glass but served in a generous “large” pour that makes you wonder why anyone ever drinks anything smaller.
The operation doesn’t stop at beer; a splash of champagne yeast turns the cider into a surprisingly crisp, almost sparkling treat, lighter on the palate than most of its rivals. Tastings are encouraged (bring a picnic, bring sunscreen and a hat – the desert sun is relentless). For those who prefer a night under the stars, the on‑site farmhouse rentals provide a cosy retreat, whether you’re escaping the city or hunting in the surrounding countryside. The whole place feels like a celebration of honest craftsmanship, with an outdoor tent for seating that lets you soak up the scenery while you sip.
Copper Hop Ranch & Microbrewery is praised for its beautiful setting, friendly staff, and excellent beers and ciders. Reviewers appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, animal-friendly policies, and various amenities such as a tasting area and outdoor spaces.
