An Arizona-based food, beverage and travel writer since 2008, I launched this website in 2015 to document my culinary adventures, beverage escapades, gardening endeavors, and travel in the Phoenix area and beyond. Also find a comprehensive calendar of Phoenix-area food and drink-related events on my Events page.
Join Upward Projects as they roll out the 2nd annual "Brews on the Block" craft beer & live music party on Saturday, February 18. Unspooling across all four of Upwards' Central Phoenix locations (Federal Pizza, Joyride Taco House, Postino Central and Windsor), Brews on the Block will feature four pours of limited-access Oskar Blues Brewery beers (full lineup above), served inside a keepsake 16-ounce pint glass, all for only $35. Plus, if you prefer your craft beers canned, all four restaurants will also be offering $3 cans of Oskar Blues' Dale's Pale Ale beer all day long. Best of all, treat your ears as well as your tastebuds thanks to live music from several of the McDowell Mountain Music Festival's featured local bands.
