High Tanks Brewing Taproom & Pizzeria in Wellton, Arizona, is where the unforgiving Sonoran desert meets the gentle art of brewing. On a certified organic medjool date farm called Naked Dates (the dates are grown without chemicals), they coax the sweet, caramelârich fruit into ales that taste like someone finally taught the desert to sing. The result is a lineâup of specialty beers that surprise you with the unmistakable fingerprint of the dates that birthed them.
The taproom doubles as a pizzeria that refuses to settle for cardboardâlike crusts; the dough hits the perfect equilibrium between crisp edge and pillowy centre, while the supreme pizza arrives laden with fresh, vibrant toppings. A pretzelâbeer cheese combo, apparently devised by someone who knows that cheese should be as bold as the brew it meets, has become a cult favourite. Live music drifts through the space, and the atmosphere feels more like a relaxed gathering of old mates than a sterile showroom.
If you fancy a pint that carries a hint of desert sunshine, or a slice that proves a pizza can be both crunchy and soft without resorting to gimmicks, High Tanks delivers without pretensionâjust honest craftsmanship and a wink at anyone who thought a dateâinfused brew was a joke.
Reviews praise High Tanks Brewing Taproom & Pizzeria's excellent food, especially pizza and pretzels with beer cheese, as well as fast service despite being busy. The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for a relaxing hangout, with fresh toppings and great brews.
