In the blistering high desert of Pine, Arizona, THAT Brewery & Pub delivers craft beer the way a master chef would serve a perfectly timed joke â with no hint of pretension and a healthy dose of brilliance. Their onâsite brewing programme churns out the likes of the Knotty Nut Brown Ale, oddly flavored with locallyâsourced pineâcones, while the surrounding yard buzzes with outdoor games and the occasional wagging tail (the place is genuinely dogâfriendly). Sustainability is a badge they wear proudly: spent grain finds its way to nearby cattle feed, and every pint is poured with an eye toward ecoâconscious practices.
The food menu reads like a love letter to smoky indulgence. An awardâwinning elk chili sits beside houseâsmoked meats that taste as if they were kissed by a campfire, and a whiskeyâbacon burger arrives in a crisp batter that could convince even the most stoic carnivore to smile. The houseâmade cheese sauce is smooth enough to glide over a nacho chip without causing a scandal, and the waitstaff are quick to suggest pairings that make sense without sounding pretentious. All of this comes wrapped in a spacious, familyâwelcoming environment where a good laugh is as expected as a good pint.
People enjoyed THAT Brewery & Pub for its pleasant atmosphere, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. Food options were praised, particularly the mac and cheese, smoked meat plate, and buffalo chicken dip. Service was consistently excellent.
